The pupils Of the MeadviIle school
gave a school program last Friday after
noon under the direction of their instruc
tor. Miss Sara Waters. After a series
of songs. recitations and arithmetic drills
by the pupils, d delicious lunch was
served to the parents who were present
Some of the unique handwork which was
made by the pupils, was border Of
spring birds in cut design on one side
of the room and a border of spring
flowers also in cut-eut design on the
other side. The children take much
interest in modelling statutes of horses
birds, dogs. and bustS of people, with a
special kind of SOAP used for this
purpose. These models. which are very
realistic, are found in many parts of the
room. A visitor on entering the room
cannot help but notice the two glass
cases which repose in back Of the room.
One case depicts ? summer scene in
MeadViile-a farm with a typical farm
house, and around it the hand made con-
structed farm animals, such as pair of
horses driven by farmer blowing field.
One sees the cows in the field at dis
lance, the silo over there, and the up
to-date machinery near the fields. The
other case illustrates snow scene in
Meadville. Here one sees logging team
with farmer driving TO town with lum-
Der, boys sliding, sleighing and skiing
down the hills, and the usual farm
animals found around there. Every
thing from the lumber sleigh to the farm
machinery was made by the pupils. The
girls in this school all make their own
dresses Sometimes they make dresses
of various sizes which are placed on
exhibit for the parents to see. Many
times these dresses are sold to parents
who wish to have them for their younger
children, instead of going to town to buy
them. These pupils are doing very ad-
vanced work in construction and are an
example of what can be accomplished
with rural pupils, if one wishes to do
their best with them.
Miss Frances Gruber, instructor in the
Quincy schools has enrolled her pupils
her schools. This is the work which
was advocated by Miss Mildred Hagerty,
state club leader, who was here last week
in regard to this work. This work is
somewhat similar to the spelling con.
test, in that the county winner of the
clubs, also gets a free trip to Milwaukee
with its teacher during the State Fair
exhibits in August.
