PLAN SCHOOL,
EXHIBIT HERE
Different Departments to
Show What Has Been Done
in High School Glasses.

Much time and are is being put
on the preparation of the second
annual exhibition of the work of the
special teachers in the Perth Amboy
High School which will be given on
Friday. June 8, both afternoon and
night. The exhibits will include
drawing, sewing, cooking and an
exceptional program of physical
training to be supplemented by
chorus singing.
This idea was conceived last year
and proved particularly successful,
having drawn a large crowd to the
building who, perhaps for the first
time obtained some idea of the work
being done in the special classes.
The parents and friends of the pu-
pills were very grateful for the OPP
portunity of observing the work,
and the program which has been
considerably elaborated for this
year. will probably prove even
more popular than the preceding
one.
In the physical training depart
ment, Miss Marion Burns, in charge
OF the work. will give a demonstra,
ton of the activities carried
on/ during the year and will in
cHlde marching, stunts" monetlcs'

astounded at the perfection
with which Miss Burns girls execu-
ted their work and this will prob

this year.

BILE for the drawing and c~raftswork
in the school is preparing a very

calibre of the work done in her de-
partment. Much more crafts work
has been done this year than last,
the poster work, mechanical draw
ing and other phases of the work
have been greatly enlarged and the
results of this years efforts are
particularly gratifying.
Mrs. Nellie Hill will have an ex-
hibit of sewing that will far exceed
that OF last year. The former dis
play, which included all the dresses
made by the senior girls for their
own graduation drew many to the
department and here. too, the scope
Of work having been enlarged. is
certain to prove most attractive.
