Show THE EMERYCSCH03L EXHIBIT (Continued from last week) THE EXHIBIT PROPER Early in the afternoon the school was "swarmed" bv hundreds of appreciative apprecia-tive visitors the entire town and numerous num-erous individuals from outside. If we were to analize the general Bentiment it would be a mixture of surprise, sur-prise, curiosity, excitement, and appreciation. appre-ciation. All were highly pleased at this point byla a personal visit from our county superintendent, Wm. T. Reid. Supt. Reid expressed himself himself as elated over the exhibit and gave us a very timely and appreciative word of encouragement. On the grounds, which now include an entire half block, was held a keenly keen-ly contested live-Btock show. This was made up of some thirty or more splendid splen-did farm animals. In 80me case1, par-ticulary par-ticulary among the draft mares, hnir splitting decisions were made in judging. Inside, arranged in a tnirty by forty gynmasium room, were exhioited such a variety and abundance of choice display dis-play as to make one forget that one was in Emyry and dream of the Garden of Eden. To detail these displays would be far too exhaustive here, but a brief outline might assist us. AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITS: (1) Caged animals -PjJltry, doves, birds, small pigs, pups nc. (2) Vegtables Potatoes, squash, beans, carrots, peas, beets and radishes. (3) Grains Wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, alfalfa seed and clover seed. DOMESTIC science: The most popular side of the hall was that representative of work done, largely by school girls, in cooking. Especially Es-pecially was it tempting as supper time approached. Cakes, pies, candies, punch pun-ch and wafers! SCHOOL WORK Class work was put on exhibit showing show-ing work done from the first to eighth grades, inclusive. It included construction construc-tion work, nature study, drawing, map study, composition, and similar work. Mention is also due our local taxidermist taxider-mist who so freely contributed mounted mount-ed furs, deer heads, etc , and to other town people who exhibited articles. The management was so fortunate as to secure the services of our County Farm Demonstrator. Professor Robert H. Stewart, aided by special committees commit-tees for judging of domestic science and art, placed the awards. He gave us j much encouragement and stated that in several phases the exhibit would stand very well the competition of a state fair.
