Exhibition at Springfield. 

 The boys and girls of ^Massachusetts held an exhibition of 

 products in conjunction with the Eastern States Agricultural 

 and Industrial Exposition at Springfield, Massachusetts, Octo- 

 ber 13 to 20, 1916. The products were displayed in a building 

 erected and arranged for this purpose. The following extracts 

 from the New England Journal of Education, November 2, 

 1916, may indicate the general character and significance of 

 that exhibition : — 



The exhibits included all the common products of the garden and 

 field, as well as articles of such handiwork as clothing, fancy needlework, 

 cookery, canned goods, photographs of many activities and written stories 

 of individual effort. The long tables covered with corn, potatoes, beans, 

 bread, eggs and the hundred other things, the long line of tastefully made 

 garments, the extensive bank of canned fruits and vegetables, — all made 

 an impressive sight. Its significance is deepened, however, by the re- 

 flection that this great exhibit was the outcome of several years of effort 

 in the promotion of this new type of education. Every loaf of bread, 

 every sample of corn or potatoes, every cluster of fruit jars or of canned 

 vegetables, every cackling hen, every squealing pig, was the objective 

 embodiment of an accompHshment, — an accomplishment attained by 

 some one of the many thousands of individuals enjoying the benefits of 

 this sort of education. Every "vsTitten story exhibited contained a record 

 of some boy's or girl's success.
