To the patrons: You are cordially invited to visit the city schools Friday afternoon, May 22, and observe an exhibit of work done during the year. Th the primary building samples of the year’s work will be placed on the walls of the different rooms.

In the grammar building, the old high school assembly room will contain work done in the 6th, 7th and Sth grades. In the sewing room can be seen the sewing exhibit of these same grades and also the work done by the high school clasess. A feature of this part of the exhibit will be the graduating dresses made by the girls (Senior) in the Home Econo* mics Class. You are also invited to visit the commercial room, which is just across from the assembly room. Tn the new high school building, there will be an exhibit of the manual training work of the 6th, 7th and Sth grades, and also of the high school classes. This exhibit will be in the manual training rooms, but other rooms of the high school will be open to the visitors.

Tn the agricultural department one will be able to see what progress is being made, especially in the poultry work. A model chicken house has recently been built in the rear of the high school yard and a flock of chickens are being cared for, along scientific lines, by members of that department. Visitors are urged to visit this part of the work. Inasmuch as the preparation of this exhibit will require considerable extra time on the part of pupils and teachers, we hope will arrange to come out on) that afternoon. Very trqly, C. R. DEAN.
