Afternoon. That ttie past year was one of tliK most successful in the history of the local schools was indicated by the splendid display made in the various grade rooms of both buildings and in the high school domestic science de partment, Friday. It was exhibit day and hundreds of Interested parents took occasion to see for themselves just what their little ones had accomplished and how their accomplishments compared with those of others. It was inter esting to note tiie gradual progress made as the grades advanced, especi ally in drawing, penmanship and composition. In each there were as usual a few specimen which stood out more nearly perfect than the rest, but taking the work In each grade as a whole and any fair judge must ad mit that the local children are well up to the average of city standards throughout the country. Considering the opportunities offered, both teach ers and pupils deserve to be con gratulated. The work in diawir.g was especial l.v interesting, revealing the fact that there are several pupils In particular in the lower grades, who show signs of rapid development and much nat ural ability, if these pupil»» had the opportunity of studying under an ex clusive art and music teacher, such as a school system as large as Bandon’s should provide, their genius would no doubt bring distinguished honor to themselves and to the Institution. Of major interest, especially to mothers, was the demonstration of the girls in the high school domestic science department. While only sev en completed the year's work, their display was large and varied and gave convincing proof that their work is productive of much practical edu cation. It is only to be regretted that every girl in the high school has not availed herself of tlie benefits of this course. The various articlis of food prepared for the exhibit were highly praised, in fact they were in such favor that all had been sold be fore half the visitors arrived They were delivered to the purchasers late in the afternoon ami the funds went to defray the expenses of pre paring them. The work in sewing was aUo very commendable includ ing articles of all kinds up to fancy dresses, w hich wero elegantly made. As a whole the exhibit was better than that of last year, showing that the local schools are making material progress under the able direction of Superintendent Turnbull and his corps of instructors.
