ASHLAND PLANS E ARNIV L A most Inlcrostlnit exhibit wait glv on Wednesday nnd Thursday at tlu high school of the work dono during tho yonr by the pupils in the Indus trial nnd flno arts department. This I tho largt'Bt exhibit of its kind ever given here. Tho largo attendance both days hIiowb tho Interest that is being taken In tho work dono In tho nchoolH, Sou lug IMilult. On tho first floor, iu tho sewing room, was tho work of the girls In tho sixth nnd seventh grades. Here wcro scon tho pieces on which the girls had learned their stitches, nnd as thoy advance thoy apply these samo stitches on small garments. This year these pupils made small sowing aprons, in tho sixth grade, whllo tho girls in tho seventh grade mado their cooking uniforms, which thoy will uso next year when they tako up tho work in tho domestic science department. Going up to tho second floor was found tho work of tho moro advanc ed students. The eighth grade girls had made an undergarment by hand, and some had embroidered an initial In the front of the garment. Next followed tho work of tho first year high school, which was tho continu ation of tho eighth grade, and the second year high Bchool finishing these garments. Tho girls in the third year high school have made somo slmplo wash frocks, which were not to cost over $1.50. Some of these were very well made and show what can bo done with a llttlo expen diture. Then, last but not least, were tho gowns niado by the girls In the senior class, which are to be used for their graduation dresses. These dresses show the results of many hours' labor, and much careful stitch ing on tho sewing machine. Had the girls had more time they would have thoroughly enjoyed putting all tho laces in by hand, but time did not permit such tedious work. Domestic Science Display. In tho basement of the building was found the exhibit of the domes tic science department. Here were manufgood things to eat, artistically arranged on tho tables and small stoves. Among these things may be mentioned tho cakes, salads, meat loaves, choeso straws, roasted chick en, fruit salads, gingerbread, cup cakes, hermits, doughnuts, biscuit, cinnamon rolls and croquettes. At the end of tho room was a table hav ing 80 loaves of whito bread upon it A prize was given for tho best loaf from the eighth grade, which was won by Miss Velma Wood, and one for tho high school, a chafing dish, which was won by Miss Edith Che dister. The judges Mrs. T. William son, Mrs. I. C. Kentner and Miss Schmalhnusen bad great difficulty in deciding who would bo the win ,ncrs, but wish to say that MIbb Jean notto Osgood, and Miss Theresa Tlck nor of the high school, MIbs Mildred Mack and Miss Qllvo Johnston of tho eighth grado had bread that camo a very fow points from tho winners.

MJbs Meant, tho assistant of domestic arts, who has had charge of tho primary manual training work and soma of tho sewing, nnd Mr. Frost, tho direc tor of manual training.

Many Visitors Welcomed.

Tho weaving of the doll slippers, hoods and Tarn O'Shanters by the little fingers shows much pa tient work. Tho woven mats were particularly well done. In fact, all the work shows tho interest that has been taken by the children. Tho raf fia work was well dono. Somo very pretty and well shaped baskets and hats were exhibited, also somo very neatly tied hammocks. Tho crayon drawing and water col ors of all tho grades mado a very good showing nnd somo very clever work has been done. Tho display of mechanical drawing was goo dand shows tho result of careful study. This courso Is entirely Independent of tho manual training department. There was quite an exhibit of sten-. ell work, both on paper and toxtiles, which wero very nttractlvo and cred itable Tho pupils of tho sixth, sev enth and eighth grades woro each re quired to draw, cut and shellac n stencil.

IJegnnling a' puhli-lied statement that Ihe exhibit of the Domestic Sciences department was withdrawn upon orders of the authorities, Miss Kdna if. McDcrmott. director of Do ine.xlie Science mid Arts, makes the following statement: "The exhibit in tho Domestic Science department was only on one day nnd evening its was advertised before the exhibit and printed in the invitations which Mr. Collins sent out, it wns not ordered down by "The High School mithorilies'' ns was stated. "As to tho fnct that the articles were made by tho girls iu their homes, it is true and each gill gave her word of honor that she had done nil the work herself on each article. To any cook it would appear very absurd to think that n large food exhibit could be prepared in n smnll school kitchen and hnve it fresh for exhibi tion purposes. AIo the results ob tained under home conditions show more nccurnlr-ly what each girl can do. "The reason for the cooking ex hibit not being left up longer is that n great many of the articles were very perishable and a food exhibit is difficult to keen in good appearance more than ono day. "The article mentioned shows very distinctly one of two things either that tho erson that wrote it was very ignorant of their subject mut ter and had been misinformed or that there is nn over supply of cxistini' jealousy on the behalf of some whose exhibit wns not ns much admired ns wns the cooking display." NEW SUPERINTENDENT FOR ASHLAND CITY SCHOOLS George A. Rriseoe, of New Al bany, Indiann. Jms been upointod superintendent of the city schools of Ashlnnd for the coining year. H.
