 AT BURR|77 SCHOOL
Affair, Open to Public, to Continue From Dec. ,
 Through Dec. 9.

A biS education exhibit of the New Britain schools is to open at the I1lihu Burritt school. At 800 o'clock Friday afternoon December ,. The exhibit will continue for five afternoons from to 6 o'clock and five evenings from ' to 10 o'clock.
 It is the intention of those in charge that this shall be the biggest and best exhibit of it's kind that has ever been held in Connecticut. The size of the exhibit will be such as to require all the new Elihu Burrltt school for it's display. The scope of the exhibit will include everything possible that will give to the people of New Britain and to visitors from other cities a satisfactory idea not only of the quality of New Britain school work, but also an understand ing of the broad scope and the many activities and interests repre- sented in the schools of the city Classroom work in the various subjects and grades will be shown in actual operation with the pupils at work. Physical training groups will illustrate the methods used to pro- mote 0 better physical type of boy and girl. Industrial training of both Vocational and Prevocational character will be illustrated by shop classes With the actual production going on. Housekeeping and home- baking arts will have a large place in the exhibit. The best methods of tho caro and feeding of children will be fully illustrated. The display of art and handwork alone will repay one for a visit to the exhibit. None better can be found in the state. Music, science and penmanship and the school subjects and arts will be fully represented.
 In addition to all the foregoing there will be special exhibits of great interest as follows:
 X patriotic exhibit-Showing what is being done in patriotic training in our schools.
 An exhibit of the recently organiz- ed attendance department--An inn pressive and interesting showing will bc made by the department
 An exhibit of the costs Of school , supplies-This will doubtless be one of the most interesting feature for the man or woman who is a parent and taxpayer. Almost everything en- ters into school costs in these modern | days from the cost of milk to teach i CTS salaries. A graphic comparison , will be made between present costs i and those of 1913 An exhibit of the needs of the New | Britain schools-The needs of a | school system in d growing city such aS New Britain are never satisfied. It will be well to study these needs as they will be set forth in this depart ment of the exhibit. In this way u more intelligent and complete under l stand.~g of the city's educational 1 needs may be secured by those who must provide the funds to meet these 1 needs.
 This will be no ordinary exhibit 1 as it's. name indicates it is an educa . | tional exhibit. Another feature that will be strongly emphasized will be 1 that of the value of an education By | this means it is hoped to make clear CT than ever before how much the child misses who is permitted to leave school too early, not only in the loss of earning power, but also in larger | possible usefulness as a citizen. also | 10 emphasize the great responsibility 1 resting upon the parent to keep his child in school just as long as possi- , ble.
