Manual Arts Exhibit
 By School Pupils Is Very CreditabIe Display

Hundreds of persons interested in the development of manual training are visiting the Bridgeport schools manual art exhibition which is being held this week in the Chamber o1 Commerce assembly room in State street The display was officially opened yesterday, and will continue for the rest of the week, Saturday inclusive, with hours from 1:30 to y:3G D. m. daily.
 Approximately 900 exhibits, the work of boys ranging in age from to II years have been entered, and in- clude almost everything from a match safe to a Morris chair and a, big writ ing table. Wooden household articles are most numerous. and there is & generous display of model toys.
 Among the larger pieces on exhfb1- tion are a Morris chair, constructed by a group of boys at the Elias Howe school; eight bookcases and racks; 0 hatracks, 12 pedestaIs and many taberets, two writing tables, two large tables and 2 electric lamps including one large floor lamp.
 Other articles which are exception ally well made are a loose coupler for a wireless set. by Edward O'Neil, sev- enth grade, Madison school and a piano seat, by Raymond Meyers, eighth grade, Barnum school.
 The toy models, one an autoTn obiie fire truck made by L. Dacunto, sixth grade, Lincoln school and the other an army truck constructed by L. Ga
 
 school. are also attracting a great deal of attention. A toy automobile similar to a child's pushmobile, made by L. Fasold, seventh grade, Lincoln school. is likewise a real piece of art.
 4 small bird house was made by Patrick Mannella, of the seventh grade. WaltersvilIe school despite the youngster being handicapped by hay ing only one hand. A pupil in su5-normal class at the Elias Howe school contributed a particularly beautiful lamp shade.
 The exhibition is being held for the purpose of stimulating interest in manual training in schools, and also what school pupils are doing along these lines. The 800 exhibits now on display were picked from the work of $500 boys who are taking the manual training course in the public grammar schools. None of the boys work denotes the fact that they pos sess more than ordinary skill in wood faShioning.
 At the present time, only one period a week is devoted to manual training. and this system gives each boy one hour and a quarter of instruction and actual experience It is hoped that the number of periods will be in creased next year.
 and eighth grades of nine public schools are represented in the exhibit which is in charge of the following manual training teachers: Frank s. Whitman. Maplewood school. chair man; John Buckley, Elias Howe school; Warren Brown, Read school; Fred Martin, BaTnum school; John Jaoralman. Lincoln school: Ernest Ryder, Hail school; F. W. Woodward, Columbus school; c. H. Snyder, Wal tersvi1Ie school, and F. w. Lowndes, High school

Her suffering were physical as well as mental, for over one eye rose a hideous, pIum-colored swelling, which her maid, a tall, auStere woman, was bathing assiduous1y with vinegar and water The lady lay back exhausted upon a couch, but her quick, obser- want gaze. as we entered the room, and the alert expression of her beau tifuI features, showed that neither her wits nor her courage had been shaken by her terrible experience. She was enveloped in a locse dress ing gown of blue and silver, but black sequin-covered dinner dress was hung upon the couch beside her.
