Show Exhibit of City School Work Display at Tabernacle Very Fine. Good Program Wednesday Night. In tlic tabernacle auditorium since Wednesday evening there lias been on display what is undoubtedly the very best collection of grade work ever done In the Logan city schools On the walls and the tables beneath the balcony on both sides of the immense room Is an array that is attractive not, only to those directly Interested In school work and to the parents whose little people havo produced these ' r? things, but to the casual observer as "j5? well, for there Is much artistic beauty "" in the productions and arrangement. This display embraces regular class work done by the children In all the city schools below the tlfth grade, and is designed as an encouragement to the children, and to give the school patrons Some dctlnlte idea of the work that Is being carried on as a means to desired results. The work- that Is there consists largely of clay modeling, free hand paper cuttlng.wrlttcn work and such like, all this being done In connection with the teaching of the usual subjects sub-jects taught In the grade. For Instance, In-stance, if the children have a lesson about the Eskimo or Indians, they are taught to model the houses In which Ksqulmeaux live, and to build Indian ' tepees; If the lesson Is a Christmas story, the children arc taught to cut that story out of paper; likewise the story of the Puritans; and so on through the other studies. This gles the children a greater Interest In the work and faitcns the Idea njorc (irmly In the mind. Much of the work there Is nothing short of remarka ble on the part of the children, most of them less than ten years of age All of It Is neat, Indicative Indi-cative of the fact that they haca conception of beauty and older; much of It Is strikingly oilginal, Indicating that the rhildrcn arc observant and thlukful; and the Idea in much of the work Is so successfully canted out that even the passing observer leadlly understands that the children hae gtasped thoroughly the Instruction of the teacher. The primary work In the city schools has been under the general supervision supervi-sion of Miss Martha Fisher the past year, and to her and an elllcient corps of teachers, the splendid results arc due. Those who piesume to know say that Miss Fisher has done exceptional ex-ceptional woik,and this display brings to her and the teachers who have been so successful In getting results, much warm praise.
