DANE, Editor. The Industrial Exhibit. Yesterday afternoon the city schools were thrown open to the pub- lic with an exhibit of the industrial work done by the pupils during the year. The exhibit was _ well attended, the large number of men present be- ing especially pleasing to the teach- ers. The exhibits ranged from the work of the kindergarten to that of the High school. Industrial work is one of the most important departments of our school system for it is this work that teach- es the co-ordination of the body and the brain. Most of the things that the child makes are useful in a way, mainly Dbecause of their simplicity and small size. But the fact to be noted is that what seems simple now was once a complicated operation to the primative man and children are simply primative beings: "The industrial work as planned in the Bemidji schools starts with the children in the kindergarten. Here they are given the primary colors and taught mixtures. Some .of their work looks like the color daubs of savage races. It has the same unre- lated parts and simplicity of form. But as the savages developed so the children develop and the work can be traced through the grades until in the higher classes, some real ar- tistic talent is developed. The same is true in the clay mod- eling, basket and raffia work, rug ‘weaying, paper weaving, and paper cutting. The exhibits yesterday were so arranged that by passing from one rcom to another, the visitor could trace the development of the child from the primary department up. About the fifth grade, they are taught the rudiments of sewing and manual training, the girls making simple dust caps and collars and the boys cutting patterns with knives. In the higher grades, the sewing and manual training become diversified. Following the same work through the High school, the boys are making useful articles of furnit.ure, such as tables, chairs, desks, book step ladders, etc. The girls are mak- ing their own dresses and learning how to properly cook good meals at a low cost. When the boys and girls finally 'graduate from High school, they have learned something - that they can do with their hands and are not entirely dependent.on their brains. One feature of the work stands out prominently, In their subjects, the pupils are related to local objects as much as possible. - For trees, they draw and paint pines; for flowers, Jack-in-the-pulpits; for birds, robins; in clay modeling, pumpkins and pota- toes. Every child in each room was represented in the exhibit and the work shown was not selected samples. The criticism has been made that much of what the children is taught is useless. In a way it is, but the human race came through the very same steps of crude coloring, clay pottery,, rough whittling, and weav- ing to its present stage of eiviliza- tion. The children have to come the same way, but some of the work shown- yesterday proves that the chil- dren of today have progi'emd farther than the children’of several genera- tions ago. Some of the work done by little tots in'the kindergarten and first grade is really wonderful,. Industrial work-in the localschools has“a good start, but it should be encoyraged and the ' departments racks, built up.. The ability of the body to: execute an 'idea of the mind is fully as important as training the mind to; properly- develop - the. idea. i THIS DATE IN HISTOR' May 25. - S 1701—Capmin William ™ Kidd, the noted pirate, executed in London. 1778—Gen; Howe embarked Philadelphla for Bngla 1873—Marshal MacMahon elected president of the French Republic. 1881—Prince Leopold, fourth son of Queen Victoria, created Duke of Albany.
