Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 May 1916 — Public School Exhibit. [ARTICLE]

Public School Exhibit.

On yesterday afternoon a public exhibit was shown in the primary and grammar buildings of the different school work, and will again be shown tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) from 2 to 4:30 p. m., to which the public is cordially invited to visit.

The work displayed includes a sample of all the work done during the past year. A feature of the exhibit was the graduating dresses made by the senior girls. As has ’been the custom for some years, the D. A. R. ladies are offering prizes lor the best made dress and the best designed dress. The judging of the dresses will take place some time Monday or Tuesday, but the public will have a chance to see them again tomorrow. The maxium 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 again offered prizes for the best manual training work, of which some is on exhibit. We are quite sure that these exhibits are of such a nature that every patron and friend of the school should see and it is to be hoped that those who failed to see them yesterday will avail themselves of the opportunity Sunday. To those who go 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.
