SCHOOL EXHIBIT
 DRAWS BIG CROWD
 YESTERDAY EVENING

DOUGLAS, May 9.-All the pat rons and friends of the Douglas Public School were at the school house Tuesday evening from 7:30 until 9 o'clock to see and inspect the work of the pupils in all depart ments from the drawing of chickens and rabbits in the first grade room up to the Senior room and the de- partments of Domestic Science and Manual Training
 The work on display was a mighty revelation to the visitors who, while they knew that such work was being performed, had no idea of the magni- tude or degrees of perfection to which it was being carried on.
 There was map work and daught- ing in the grades that would have done credit to professionals while in the Domestic Science department thets were gowns that would grace fashionable society events and in the Manual training department were cteatipns from ironing boards up to Morris chairs, desks, sideboards and tables that were the envy of all the housewives who isaw them.
 st The exhibit not only reflected great credit on the pupils but on the ex- cbllent staff of teachers from Prin- cipal Greene down through all the departments and grades.

COMMUNITY FAREWELL
 TO DRAFTED SOLDIERS
 WAS SPLENDID SUCCESS

DOUGLAS, May 9. - Never was there a more spontaneous emptying of homes on Douglas Island than last night when everybody who goes was at the farewell dance given al the Natatorium to the twenty young men of the Island who are to leave tomorrow for Fort William H. Sew ard to begin training preparatory to going over the top.' The crowd on the floor and in the balconies was estimated as being from 600 to 800 and, as about $50 hat checks were issued to men aolne,-the crowd was probably up to the latter estimate.
 Shortly after 9 o'clock the orches- tra, one of the very best ever heard here, began playing and by $40 the big floor was crowded with dancers. The Hall was beautifully and most tatstily decorated with Flags, Hon or Flags and appropriate notices in colors. In fact, many expressed the opinion that the Nat" never looked as well as last night. Honor rolls 
 names of all the men who have left the Island in connection with the war and the names of absent mem bers of both the Douglas and Tread well Fire Departments were suspend ed from the ceiling and gave mute testimony of the number who have offered themselves in the cause of Liberty.
 At beautifully decorated booth in the Southeast corner of the dancing floor free refreshments were served all the time by a bevy at patriotic girls. There gallons of lemonade and punch and nearly 100 cakes were donated by the housewives of the two towns Of these several were not cut and were sold at the close of the dance, bringing the neat sum of $21 which was given to the de parting boys as a smoke fund.

plimented the drafted boys on their opportunities for aidink humanity, civilization and Liberty in the sup pression of Prussianism and assured them that those left behind have every confidence in their ability to deport themselves as true and val tent soldiers
 General Manager P. R. Bradley, in behal fof the Treadwell residents, also made a highly interesting ad- dress in which expressed some con structive criticism of the manner in which the Government is devoting large sums of money and armies of men to work that could well be pass ed up until after the war. He re- ferred to the several thousand labor CTS employed on the Government railroad in Alaska, the early com pletion of which is not imperative, and showing how much more effic- ently those men could be. used at the present time in other and more important channels. lie referred to the high order of manhood which this community has contributed to the war and expressed the opinion that all will give a good accounting of themselves.
 Mrs. Herbert H. Schuman who was raised on Douglas Island, spoke in behalf of the women and, without detracting from the excellence of the other addresses, it was generally conceded that she made the hit oi the occasion. Mrs. Schuman's tri- bute to the departing soldiers, as well as to their friends and neigh bors left behind, was clothed in ele gance of diction, beauty of compl1- ment and grace of sentiment.
 The above three speakers were all that were listed but at the con. clusion of Mrs. Schuman's address, there were cries for NJ. J. O'Connor who reluctantly took the floor and made a short speech in which he played a growing tribute to the young men so soon to leave for training and to the Islanders in general in his usual patriotic vein. Not having been notified that he would be called upon, MT. O'Connor was not pre- pared as would have otherwise have been. All of the speakers were en- thusiastically applauded.
 There were many present from Juneau and other points across the Channel and dancing continued until after one o'clock.
 For the many men who did not dance and who frequented the smoke room, Sante Dcgan, proprietor of the Hunter and City pool rooms, pro yided several choice boxes of Haven as which were highly appreciated. Sante, by the way, is one of the bows drafted. On the whole, the fare well to the soldiers was one of the largest and best conducted func- tions. thanks to the firemen of Doug las and Treadwell, and to the young ladies. ever held on oDuglas Island.
