The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-05-05

The grade, school exhibit and Pa
irons day, held on Thursday and Fri
day of last week, was as successful a!
any ever held in Bismarck, both in thu
attendance and the interest of patrons
and in the amount and quality of WORK
displayed. 1t was marked Throughout
also. by the patriotic note shown in the
displays and programs.
,,'~i At the North Ward School
Friday was observed by the North
Ward as Patrons day. The crowd, al,
though it was not as large as it should
have been, considering the amount OF
labor and time which the exhibit cost
both teachers and pupils, yet was per
haps better than usual. Up to q
o'clock 1875 people had registered
Most of the visitors were parents, and
showed great interest in the work.
The first and best thing that was
noticed in each room was the quilt
made by the boys and girls-evidence
of their patriotic interest in the Red
Cross work. The quilts were made of
many different pieces, and showed as
some of their special designs the flags
of the allies, the Red Cross emblem,
the statue Of Liberty, and Uncle Sam.
Another thing which attracted more
attention than any other single article
on exhibit was the knitted comforter
hanging in the hall; this also was in
the patch style, containing many col
ors. This comforter was made by the
boys and girls of the four rooms.
4 The art room on the north side Of
the building showed much interesting
and beautiful work. Some features
here which attracted especial comment
were drawings and designs: sailor,
drawn by Ruth Staley, drew the re-
mark that it was more like the work
of an artist than of a child; the subject

Their Mandigo; two boxes with notice
ABLY good designs were painted by
Unie and Versie Frazier. Also there
were manicure sets, vases, napkin
rings and trays displaying very beau
tiful designs. This is the first year
the pupils have attempted to paint ar
ticles of this kind. 20,
Miss Mallory's room had an excel
lent exhibit of penmanship and his
tory. Papers displayed here-as IS
tue, also of the other rooms IN the
Junior High--are especially interest
ing because of the care taken to keep
them really representative; the policy
is to exhibit all the work, never Just
the best. One who is interested IN the
Palmer system of penmanshlp, or IN
the subject in general, finds the evl-
dence in progress in this point very
evident.
Miss Diesem had a good display OF
grammar papers, while ones atten-
ton was attracted by pillow made
for the Red Cross by the students. ;,
Miss Digby. principal, had the usual
good exhibit of spelling and artlhme-
tic papers, with their evidence, OF Well
directed and painstaking work.
