Hancock Hall,

The Ellsworth school fair, care
| fully planned weeks back, will be
held in Hancock hall on Thursday
and Friday of this week. The ex-
| hibition is entirely under the man
agement of the teachers and pupils
of the local schools working under
the general supervision of H. E.

Although an Ellsworth production,
several schools from towns nearby
will exhibit to help make the affair a
| grand success.
| The proceeds will help to swell the
| fund for the new high school, The
| junior speaking contest is an added
attraction, and the receipts will be
| given to the junior class to be used
by them for the annual banquet
| rendered the graduating class by the
| Junior students.
The two-day program is varied,
and covers many phases of school
work, bringing to the people of Ellis
worth better understanding of the
work being done in the school
room. 1t will be of material help to-
!
| presented through the exhibition of
work by students from other rooms.
The fair is new idea, and some
| thing never before attempted in this
city.

The floor arrangement provides
for midway separating two rows of
booths, the length of the hall. At
| the right of the stage is the art ex-
| hibition and at the left will be the
animal show. One row of booths
will show work from the district
schools, while the opposite side ex-
hibits work done in the schools in
the city
! The midway itself will present the
usual fair atmosphere, providing
booths in which ice-cream, candy,
sandwiches, ETC., will be sold. On
the right will be the exhibits from
historical collections which have
| been loaned the committee. 1t is al
ways interesting, and from the start,
9 a. m. on Thursday, until late Fri
day evening, you will greet scores of
friends in the midway
EXHIBITS.
The schools will exhibit handi-
craft, drawing, salt work, modelling
and paper work, all done by the
pupils. From the paper work of the
youngest grade pupil to the more adj
vanced high school pupils, with their
manual training exhibits, there will
be display of work showing in
genuity and skill.
The art exhibition will be unusu-
ally fine. with its line and color work
of the older students. The booth
will be at the far end of the hall, at
the right of the stage
I The exhibit of historical relies,
specimens of work from other lands,
and natural curiosities will be very
interesting. These articles have
been loaned by many collectors, and
bring glimpses of Porto Rico Italian
cities and other distant lands.
Relics from the several wars will be
interesting because of their associa-
ton with incidents we have often
heard related.
