Art and Penmanship Displays
Claim Great Deal

HARRINGTON, May 1s-The
d art and penmanship display SHOWN
Tin the first and second corridors OF
v the. Central School Building today
Iand. yesterday is considered re-
asmarkable oneain It's great scope
and also in the quality of the work
done.
The display shows specimens OF
work done through the entire
term. and gives splendid oppor-
stunity for Judging the degree Of
Improvement. One thing. too,
that makes the art exhibit all the
more Interesting is the fact that
this is the first Year Irregular art
department has ever been supplied
TIfor@ the Warrington grade schools.
The penlnanship varies from the
&simplest forms and lines of the
Il beginners to the higher types Of
work done in the Junior Hish
school, and is contradictory to the
often heard statement that writing
lis not given proper emphasis in
the schools. The system used is
4 the "Zaner Method and SO great
has been made that
several OF the pupils denied that
some of the samples of earlier
work were theirs. Penmanship
has never been given in the local
schools as separate departm ent
4 or with any definite objective. and
lit was stated last night that Miss
Ora Leatherman, supervisor Of
writing, is very we'll pleased with
1.-THE showing made this year.
The art exhibit begins vita the
