Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 74, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 May 1899 — Exhibit of School Work. [ARTICLE]

Exhibit of School Work.

On Thursday afternoon May 25th, there will be an exhibit in the new school building, grades one to five inclusive of such work as has been saved from time to time during the year. No elaborate preparations have been made for this occasion but such work as has been done we are glad to pre* sent to the public. Not all kinds of work can be exhibited. Such as reading, grammar etc., must of necessity be omitted. Specimens of the regular drawing work for each month. Drawing in connection with nature work, modeling from clay, paper cutting, composition and story writing, number papers, pulp maps etc. constitute the main features of the exhibit. The building will be open from 1:30 to 4:00 p. m. The public not only patrons but any one interested in education is very cordially invited to spend apart of the afternoon in passing through the rooms. We hope that all will find time to spend at least an hour in this way. It is suggested that visitors can best see the work in its development if they begin with the first year and pass in regular order to the higher grades. The teachers and superintendent unite in extending this invitation, hoping that the building may be thronged with visitors during the hours named.
