An interesting exhibit, showing the work In freehand drawing and manual arts, of the Portland elementary and high schools, has been arranged in the Museum of Art, Fifth and Taylor streets, end will remain on view for 10 days. An admirable feature of the work is the wav in which the art training given to the children is turned to account in making attractive articles or every day use. Studies of flowers yield sug gestions of form and color for stencils, designed and cut by the pupil, and used to decorate bags, cushions and curtains of remarkable artistic value for the work of such young students. The course of art study, planned and supervised by Miss Esther Wuest, ex tends through the grades, but is most emphasized in the High Schools, where it is a part of the required work for the domestic science, girls' manual training and teachers" preparatory courses. The boys' manual training classes are also represented by perspective sketches nd working drawings or furniture classed as "constructive design." A new feature Is the work in bookbinding recetly done by high school students. Damaged books have been rebound, and science notebooks, clipping cases, cook books and similar articles have not only been made "from the raw mater ial." but attractively and appropriately decorated as well. The elementary school section also shows the attention paid to manual arts' in connection with the regular work In water color, pencil and char coal. A portion of the exhibit was dis played a year ago in several Eastern cities and was highly commended. The museum is open free every day to those connected with the public schools. - It Is also free to the general public every week day from 9 to 5 except Mon days and Wednesdays, and on Sundays (ram 2 to 6.
