SCHOOL EXHIBIT 
Annual Display of Work of the Manchester 
School Children Very Much Appreciated 
by Crowds Who Attended 
The second annual exhibition of 
the work of the Manchester schools 
was held in the Town hall, Tuesday 
afternoon and evening and was very 
largely attended, both by the parents 
and friends of the children, and by 
those who are interested in building 
up the educational system of the 
town. 
One particularly noticeable feature 
of the exhibit was the increased atten- 
tion given to the manual training in all 
the grades. For the first time an ex- 
hibit was made of the paper sloyd in 
Grades I, Il and III. This was not 
started till the middle of the year, but 
the results obtained were most gratify- 
ing; manual training certainly de- 
velops dexerity and skill in children. 
The drawing, too, was another 
feature. While the usual exhibition 
was made so far as subjects are con- 
cerned, it was noted that there is 
much more free hand drawing and 
freedom as to the matter of taste in 
coloring. There is less drawing from 
outline. 
The increased tastefulness of all 
written work,—such as the neat way 
the booklets were bound together— 
was another noticeable feature. Orig- 
inality is displayed everywhere. 
In everything was there apparent

an increased interest on the part of 
the children themselves; they seem 
to be gaining a comprehensiveness of 
their work and are taking a more 
exalted interest in their efforts. Es- 
pecially are such exhibitions to be com- 
mended for this, if for no other reason, 
that they spur the children on to 
better work. 
It was also evident from the public 
sentiment expressed that these ex- 
hibitions are helpful in giving to the 
public schools that element of public 
sentiment which they need. There 
was a large number of visitors who 
might be classed outsiders. 
It will be of interest to know that 
the exhibition will be put in the hall of 
the John Price Primary school build- 
ing for a few weeks for inspection by 
any teachers, educators, or anyone 
who might want to examine the work.

the right grade II., with the other 
grades following around the room.

troduced this year in the three lower 
grades, and the results obtained are 
most encouraging indeed. In the first 
grade the free hand cutting was an 
interesting feature. The work of these
