dresses. made a fine showing. The
paper cutting. drawings, portieres,
and the written work cone by the
pupils Of this school were excellent
The contributions from the Bos-
ton Avenue school attracted. much
comment, especially the little books
done by the sub-primary little folks.
The A. r. c. boows. number work,
animal books. enclosing little stories
written by these pupils, were very
much admired. An illustrated note
BOOK, the work of Robert Jones was
very attractive. The 5th. 9Th, and
7th grades of this school displayed
some very fine geography books,
south America predominating, and
the political and economic maps Of
the United States were excellent.
The posters were the leading fea-
lures of the Hollingsworth and
Whitney schools exhibit. One of
these posters called the Veterans"
from the 9Th and 18th grade of the
H. & w. school was pronounced ex-
cellcnt by those who saw it.
From the Fort School there were
paper articles. rag dolls. circus par
ade (cut work. bowls Of fruit, and
other pretty features all paper cut
ting designs. Everything was much
appreciated an dadmired by every
one.
The third and fourth grades of the
High school building displayed some
very fine free hand paper cutting
correlated with the story work.
Rural Schools
The rural schools displayed some
very fine work. the Warren Paine's
Corner. Reynolds Hill and Baptist
Schools being represented. Ten
dresses made by little girls whose
ages We're all under twelve years,
were the despair Of many an able
seamstress, so fetching in design, ma
terial, and skilful cutting and making
were they. The dress designing pic
lures by Hilda Wood and Amber
Jakins of the 4th grade Of the War
rem school attracted much attention.
The book cases, letter racks, and
work baskets were pretty good speci-
mems of the rural scholars ability
in manual training, considering that
this is the first year that this work
has ever been exhibited.
The history note books. weed books,
cook books, geography books, arith-
metic papers and the written work
from all of these rural schools was Of
a very high order.
One of the most attractive pieces
OF the rural schools display was an
illustrated story book by Margaret
Reed. And Gilmore Wood of the War
rem school had a large collection of
articles, including n book case. work
basket, taboret, letter rack, knife box.
and reading lamp. all the labor Of
his hands.
Too much cannot be said regarding
this wonderful exhibition. and the
credit that goes to each and every one
of the teachers, school board and any
outsider who may have given help
ing hand, should be the strongest, for
IL represents the work Of many many
months, both for children and teach
ers and let it here be said. that the
display of penmanshin work at this
exhibition, shows that each and every
teacher, both in the town and rural
schools is right on his or her job"
with the written work, which was
manifested by the large collection of
papers. all neatly. legibly and prettily
written. One lady was heard to re-
mark that she hadn't discovered a
paper all the afternoon that could not
be called excellent as regards neat
ness and penmanship. This seems to
be a very creditable thing to have
said of Winslow'S teachers. for it
surely does reflect upon their careful
training along this line.
