ART EXHIBIT IS GREAT
SUCCESS At WOODBRIDGE

WOODBRIDGE, March 31:-The
exhibition of the Elson Art pictures
in the auditorium of No. IL school
is being well attended. The parents
have taken a great interest the past
two nights. Interesting informal
programs, consisting of songs and
drills given by the pupils have aided
greatly. Tonight a number of added
attractions will doubtless draw a still
larger crowd. Peter and John Mia
no with mandolin and guitar will
be among the entertainers in cos
They are particularly good.
A. solo dancer is also expected.
Mr.. Golden will have an exhibi-
ton of basketry work and toys
made by his class Of boys in the un-
graded class. This work is particu-
jarly good, some of the boys show
ing that they possess decided talent
along these lines.
The pictures are most interesting
and the pupils are taking a wonder
full interest in them. Becoming
familiar with the worlds greatest
masterpieces has an education value
it is difficult many times TO
estimate. Tonight will be the last
night. The program runs from
about Sis to 9:15. Ice cream and
cake will be for sale.
