GREAT EXHIBIT

CENTRAL SCHOOL
DOMESTIC AND MANUAL ARTS
DEPARTMENTS STAGE MOST
WONDERFUL EXPOSITION.
LARGE CROWD AOMIRES II
Demonstrates That Local Institution
Can Train the Hands AS Well AS
the Brains and the Hearts of the
Students Of Maury County.

1t Is a matter of regret that every
taxpayer in Maury county could not
have seen the exhibit of the work of
the pupils OF Central High School
here on Wednesday afternoon They
would have wondered how. with the
small amount contributed annually to
the support of this great institution
so much could be done, so much that
is useful be taught to children of all
ages and environments.
The literary standards of the school
are well known. They are demonstrat-
ed in the fact that graduates of Cen
tral High may enter any college in the
land, no matter how high its stand
ards, without and examination. But
few people fully appreciate what is be.
ing done by this school to train the
hands as we'll as the brains and hearts
of the future citizens of the county.
The exhibit on Wednesday was Wis
tied by hundreds of admiring citizens
and words of praise came from all. 1t
showed the work of the domestic
science and domestic arts departments
and that of the manual arts. The
boys and girls have both done mag
nificent work the past term. The
boys showed all sorts of articles of
furniture, tables desks, taborets,
drawers, etc. They were well, sub
stantially, neatly and attractiyely
made, too. They would adorn the
rooms of any home in the county.
Then there were the lovely crea-
tions that the hands of the future
mothers of the county had fashioned
to awake applause from the visitors.
Sewing has been taught by an accom-
plished instructor, and she has had
most willing hands to teach. That
was evident from the exhibit that was
displayed. The women visitors were
especially enthusiastic over the show
ing of the girls work.
Hand painting, shown in China, was
also greatly admired Drawings and
pictures and maps and buildings in
miniature were there to provoke com.
plimentary remarks. The little folks
from Andrews school had an exhibit
that sent thrills through all who saw
it. One of the exhibits that attracted
unusual interest was that of a minia
ture hospital constructed by the pri,
mary pupils, showing their idea of
what hospital should be.
