Public School Exhibits.

On Friday afternoon of this week and also Sunday afternoon, from 2 to 4:30 p. m., the public is cordially invited to visit different school exmbits as shown in the primary ana .grammar buildings. The work to be displayed includes a sample of all the |wbrk done duimg the year. A feacof the exhibit will be che gradufitiftg dresses made by the senior girls. As has been the custom for gome years the D. A. Rt*ladies are offering prizes for the best made dress amd the best designed dress. The judging of the dresses will take place ssme time Monday or Tuesday, but the public will have a chance to see them Friday and Sunday. The maximum cost that any girl was allowed to spend was $7, but the average cost will be about $5 a dress. Besides offering prizes in this work the D. A. R. ladies will again offer prizes for the best manual training work. The public will have a chance to see some of this work. We are quite sure that these exhibits are of such a nature that ever/ patron and friend of the school should see and it is to be hoped that many will come out either Friday or Sunday. It would be a good plan to begin with the first grades and go through each room so that progression in the various lines of work could be observed.
