Result of Art Exhibit

The art exhibit recently held in the high school auditorium was undertaken primarily to raise funds for pictures to put in the grammar grade building, and secondarily for the good to thp community which comes from the presence of such a collection of:pictures in the community for a few days. If there had been no financial return the good whieh the pupils of the school derived from the exhibit would have justified the undertaking. They were very much interested in the exhibit and did not tire of studying the pictures. There was, however, a fairly satisfactory financial return. The net proceeds amounted to a little more than fifty dollars and this sum has been Invested in five pictures to be hung in the grammar grade builrfing. The company pro viding the exhibit gave two pictures as prizes. The enterprise thus results in the addition of seven firstclass pictures to the property of the schools. In the eontest for the prize pictures the pupils in room one won the first prize and the pupils in room four the second prize.
