An fcstructive and remarkabls exhibit is shown by the manual training department of the South Omaha eity schools at 4 North Twenty-fourth street. The first day closed yesterday and the exhibits will re- | main during the rest of the week. The| walls of the large room are lined with pie- tures, water colors, crayon and penell | sketches, as well as fine maps, paper cut- | ting and kindergarten work. These repre- sent all gradations of the work of freehand | and mechanical drawing from the lowest | to the final year of the high school. Many | of the pieces are artistic und speak great | pralse for earnest instruction and patient effort. | In addition to this work, the work of the | sewing classes of the seventh and eighth grades of the public schools is a constant | source of admiration to the throngs of | visitors. The work varies’ from the run- | ning of the simplest seam to the making | of a finished garment. The girls do this sewing while the boys are permitted to| work in the shops, The garments on ex- | hibition all bear name of the mak and each girl makes a garment to fit her- self. None of the sewing is done by m chine work, It all shows ability and many garments are exquisite. Manual Training Lessons.

It is ap- parent that the boys love this kind of work and many of them excel in it | The cabinet work of the advanced | classes in the high school s worthy of | long study. | All kinds of joining, such as a square mortice, a keyed mortice, a plain dovetail corner, & hidden dovetall corner, a gradu- ated rule, a T square, a drawing board, a conbination book shelf, a hallvbench are among the exhibits. Today six boys from the South Omaha High school will do exhibition banch work all day for the benefit of the public. They have their carpenter's benches at the back of the exhibition room. A competent guide and demonstrator will conduct each party about the large hall. Too much praise can not be given Prof. A. R. Nichols who is at the head of the manual training department. Miss Anna L. Meyer conducts the clay modeling classes, the wood carving classes and the basket work. Miss Lilllan Ruders- dorf of the Chlcago Art institute, also a graduate of the University of Nebraska and a South Omaha girl by birth, has charge of the drawing and painting. Howlers’ Banguet Bully. The banquet, given as a fitting close to the South Omaha bowling season last night at the Greer hotel, was in every respect 4 joyful affair. Almost every member of the eight bowling teams, as well as a number of inyited guests, participated. A menu of creditable length and excellent variety was enjoyed from the olives and grupe fruit down to the last pull at the clgars. Not a thing was lacking which men enjoy on occasions of this kind. After the eating speeches were made by several istinguished citizens of the city, including J. M. Tanner, J. E. O'Hern, Swan Larson and a number of others. Athletics and fraternalism formed the basis of the sev- eral addresses. Music was furnished by part of the South Omaha High School or- chestra, and by a trio of colored singers from Omaha. This was the first annual banquet and from the way thé entertain- ment was received it s likely to prove a permanent affair, Presbyterian Dinner. A company of nearly 100 members of the First Presbyterian church of South Omaha dined at Masonic hall last night and con- sulted over plans for. the new church, which is in progress of erection at Twenty- third and J streets. The basement will soon be completed and the walls ralsed to a point where the cornerstone can be laid. This will be a ceremony of considerable moment and will take place in about thres weeks. It was ascertained that about $15,000 had been pledged for the building and that the prospects for more are good. The members of the bullding committee having charge of soliciting funds report varying suc- cess. Seldom were they refused when they asked for funds. It is the present plan to complete the | basement of the church, first, so that services may be held there until the super- structure is finlshed.
