The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1917-01-06

The fact that Lakeland is doing
some kindly and thoughtful things for
her winter visitors is being widely
spread in the North through the Eve
ming Telegram and the Lakeland
News, and this is making many others
turn their thoughts towards this city
in anticipation of a visit to this hos
pitable city.

Meanwhile the poor public got an
other jolt when the dairy men
threatened to raise the price Of milk
to II or II cents a quart unless the
Milk Producers assn lowers the
price it is going to demand after
April 1. Opinion is divided as to
whether the dairy men are trying to
bluff the producers out or whether
they really intend to tack more on
the cost of the necessity.
Threats of high prices for vege-
tables and fruits in the fall, with
meat cost going higher every day,

FINE EXHIBIT OF
s. FIRST GRADE WORK

Pupils of Miss Maud Chastain 8
first grade class in the Whitwell
School have a fine exhibit of work
on display in the Havron building
and it is we'll worth the time of
anyone interested in school work
to examine them. First Grade
work is not generally considered
interesting except from the stand
point of teachers, but this breaks
the rule. and there are so many
interesting specimens it. would
take a lot of space to describe
them. There are many specimens
of drawing and coloring, both
singly and collectively. compost
ton work, constructive work with
cardboard, modelling with plastic,
stitching and decorative work.
Many of the specimens show re-
marks of talent whicksmay event
ually lead to more ambitious ef-
fort. The collection is not at all
limited, as with class of 135 pu-
pills. and all trying to do some
thing, there were plenty of speci-
mems to select from, and conse-
quently the exhibit is large. Miss
Chastain assures us that she had
to spend considerable time in
getting the exhibit arranged to
her satisfaction. She is one of
those hustling sort of people who
thoroly believe in the correct car
rying out Of anything attempted
and she actually gets fat over
hard work. So she has a rattling
good exhibit of the work of her
class in a large number of lines
both decorative and practical.
The Whitwell school seems to
have passed thru a most success
full term judging from the work
displayed in the various depart.
ments this closing. This, how
ever, is not unusual. for Whit
well people take great pride over
their school and do not want it
otherwise than successful.
