Strenuosity. 
Strenuosity is a word that is very 
popular just. now. Our © respected 
President, no doubt, is the cause of 
its being rescued from the obscurity 
of the dictionary and brought into 
popular favor: In spite of the impetus 
given it by “Teddy,” it is a good 
word; it can stand alone on its own 
merits. 
If we want to accomplish anything 
— if we want to get anywhere in these 
times of hustle and push we have to 
do a little hustling ourselves. We 
have to ask for what we want, and ask 
for it distinctly and use a language 
that everyone canunderstand. 
No doubt, in years gone by, we, 
here in Manchester, would have been 
justified in sending to the Senate a 
slow, careful, painstaking man who, 
if he did anything at all, would be sure 
it was perfectly correct. For that 
reason many of the men we have sent 
have not been heard from. Not be- 
cause they were not good men; not 
because they were not successful in 
their own way, but because they were 
so afraid of making a mistake that 
they would do nothing. 
Today we want a man who is a 
successful man in his own business, 
and a man capable of handling a busi- 
ness large enough to be found without 
a microscope, or a fine-toothed comb; 
a man who is familiar with matters of 
magnitude and whose opinions would 
be worth listening to. 
Manchester is a town. noted for its 
men of weight, even though they have 
come here from some other section of 
the State, attracted by our beautiful 
seashore and enchanting drives; and 
NORTH SHORE* BREEZE 
regardless of how. or..why.men. who 
have filled and do fill high diplomatic 
and. business positions come here, 
~ they are here and are with us and of 
-yus,’and if we can get. such’ men to 
represent us in the National Congress 
and General Court or Senate we 
should not let the opportunity pass. 
Our interests are their interests. 
We want a good harbor with deep 
water at low tide; they want it. We 
want all the comforts and luxuries 
that the Commonwealth has to bestow, 
and the way to get these things is to 
send one of our able men to the Sen- 
ate at the coming fall election. And 
we should be thankful that a man with 
the ability and experience of James F. 
Shaw is willing to devote his valuable 
time to thus represent us. 
Mr. Shaw is a man who has a record 
of doing things— of accomplishing 
things—and has the kind of strenu- 
osity that works quickly and aggres- 
sively, but at the same time along the 
well-directed lines that bring results. 
And we feel confident that Mr. Shaw 
will be the means of bringing Man- 
chester to the front at the State 
House, where our desires can be made 
known and our wants supplied. 
SCHOOL EXHIBIT. 
Work of Manchester Schools Displayed in 
Town Hall, Tuesday. 
If looks count for aught the people 
of Manchester certainly must feel 
proud of the work done in the schools 
of the town, for the second exhibit of 
the work of pupils of the G. A. Priest 
school, in town hall, Tuesday after- 
noon and evening, depicted in no 
small measure the progress of the 
schools and the exact work being done 
by the pupils. 
Those who saw the exhibit last win- 
ter could well note the distinct prog- 
ress made along all the lines of work 
since then. As nature study is one 
of the most important at this time of 
year, this branch was well represented 
in the exhibit, and added much to the 
brilliancy and coloring of the drawings 
displayed. 
The imaginative work of the chil- 
dren was a particularly noticeable 
feature. The pencil drawings which 
they made after hearing a story, read 
to them by the teacher, showed the 
development of this power in no small 
degree. 
The work done by the various 
grades was very interesting, and a 
tour around the room, and a study of 
the work of the children hung upon 
the wall or displayed on the tables, 
showed the development from the 
very lowest grades to the highest. 
In grade 1 only the work done since 
Miss Norton has been instructor was 
displayed. This was mostly work ‘in 
free hand cutting, clay work, model- 
ing, illustrating, drawings, etc.,.and 
the educational value of these things: 
was plainly evidenced. ih OR. Sirteee 
The original stories in connection 
with a study of Lincoln’s life was a 
feature of the grade 2 work, Miss 
Leonard, teacher. The picture studies, 
nature work and study of the bluet 
were also noticeably good. 
A set of calendars, one card for each 
month in the year, attracted much at- 
tention in a study of the work of 
Grade 3, Miss Allen, teacher. On 
each card was an original design, 
symbolic of the month, and the figures 
were drawn and cut out by the chil- 
dren. A chart representing washing 
- day, in doors and out, cut out by the 
children, was another feature. _ 
In Grade 4, Miss Goldsmith, teach- 
er, the drawings in connection with 
nature study was a noticeable feature; 
free-hand, cutting and stories about 
pictures were other interesting fea- 
tures. Considerable attention is paid 
to letter writing in this grade and the 
attainments of the pupils was appar- 
ent in the work they had displayed. 
The three R’s are given consider- 
able attention in Grade 5, Miss Eld- 
ridge, teacher, but arithmetic, princi- 
pally. The composition work of the 
pupils in this grade was an interesting 
feature for many who gathered around 
the table and read the letters written 
by the children, and obtaining much 
enjoyment from them. 
The work of grades 6, 7 and 8 were 
more in line with that of the early 
part of the year, with the general 
advance, naturally looked for, much 
in evidence. More advanced prob- 
lems in arithmetic, geography, history, 
composition, etc., were done by the 
pupils, and the work displayed showed - 
the progress made. 
The work of the Sloyd and Sewing 
classes showed marked progress. In 
the sewing class last fall most of the 
work was along the line of fancy arti- 
cles; this spring the children are 
working on useful articles. The Sloyd 
by the boys, Mr. Mead, instructor, 
was a matter of much interest to 
many. The work turned out and 
handiwork displayed plainly evidenced 
to the sceptic that this branch of 
school work cannot afford to be over- 
ooked. 
Mr. and Mrs. William G. Giles 
of Wakefield were in town over 
Saturday and Sunday visiting: their 
sister, Miss Mary G. Giles.
