126 TwENTY-FlBST BlENNIAL EePOBT 



First, and best, there was the building itself, with 

 its out-bnildings, showing plan of school architecture. 

 This is a most valuable feature which is being copied in 

 many counties in the State. 



Second, the exhibit of work done by school children 

 along the lines of manual training and domestic science 

 was a fairly good one, though not an extensive one. This 

 exhibit remained in the building all week, and excited 

 much favorable comment. It showed the lines of im.- 

 provement in the country schools. 



Third, the School Garden Exhibit of the Brandeis 

 School ia Louisville was excellent. It was surrounded 

 by admirers all day long. The promoters of this worthy

 to explain it. The exhibit consisted of the products of 

 the flower and vegetable garden, both green and canned. 

 It showed what a "School Garden" could be and do, and 

 what it ought to be and do. 



Fourth, the exhibit of manual training and of sewing 

 of the School of Eeform at Greendale, Fayette county, 

 was large and interesting. It showed what the best 

 schools are doing along these important lines. This ex- 

 hibit was under the direct control of Mrs. Martin of that 

 institution. It was viewed and admired by thousands of 

 visitors. 



Fifth, the exhibit of the State Department of Edu- 

 cation, showing how the department is aiding the schools 

 of the State, excited a great deal of comment. There was 

 shown such bulletins as the "State Course of Study," the 

 "History of Education," the "Arbor Day Book," and 

 many others as valuable. Altogether about 4,000 bulle- 

 tins were distributed. Hundreds of people came and 

 asked for them after the supply was exhausted.
