Would you like to see just loads OF
artistic and handsome accomplish
ments?

in a real art gallery and real fur
niture department?

questions. then go to the grammar

a. m. and 6 p. m. and witness what
the pupils studying there have
achieved in every line of endeavor.
Last year, the exhibit in the patio
at that school was amazing because
of it's variety, it's color and it's in
genuity. This year, the second an
nual display has been even more
carefully arranged by Principal G. A..
Bergfield and his teachers and what
is absent in the exhibition, which
covers the entire school world, is
hard to find.
Once again it is not for the news
paper scribe to attempt to paint a
picture of the wonderful exhibition.
Once again it is for the parents OF
the children who have done so We'll
and for those who are interested in
the schools of the city to go and see
for themselves.
For as last years display was
striking, the one this year is stun
ming in its splendor and skill.
Perhaps the most appealing part of
the display to the average man will
be the manual training group of ar
ticles. There is to be seen all va
riety of furnishings, quite as finished
and quite as appealing as one may
find in the best furniture stores.
There are screen frames, dazzling
cedar chests, a tea wagon, fine
checkerboard, an impressive radio cab
met, an aristocratic book case, nut
bowls, all sorts of turning work,
flower stands and cigar trays, ad in
finitum. If you would like to see
things you would care to have in
your dream home, ethey are all in the
patio of the grammar school,
To top off the fine manual training
exhibit you will also find about q
dozen Randolph Specials" all done
in wood and painted a copper red.
There are@fly traps, too, and ironing
boards and real onest-to-goodness
scooters.
Along the walls of the patio can be
found every variety of pen work, ex-
ceptionally impressive drawings and
even oil paintings. The penmanship
exhibits have place of their own as
do the health posters. There are such
practical things strung up also as
business letters, written by the gram
mar school kiddies, and model tele-
grams Drawings to- scale will please
those who care for that sort of thing
while mathematical and arithm etical
exhibits also have their own places.
Book reviews and original poems will
draw the attention of the careful
visitors with hundreds of posters,
cleverly printed, and in many cases,
with magazine pictures posted artis-
tically upon them.
