THE WORLD: FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1904. PARENTS WITHESS PUPILS’ WORK “Mothers’ Day” at the World’s Biggest Vacation School , | Proves Success — East-Side Children Show Progress. ALL SORTS OF USEFUL OCCUPATIONS TAUGHT. Girls’ Nimble Fingers Exeoute Cleverly Fancy Work of Every Description—Boys Exhibit Re- markable Skilt in Mechanics, Over on East Houston street, between * Lewis and Third streets, the big new echool-house has been a busy place all gummer, Not with lessons out of books, @ but with leseons taught the fingers ani the feet, as well as the brains, and with a lot of fun thrown In Hers is the biggest vacation school in all the world, the biggest building and the greatest number of pupils who at- tend )t. All this summer an average of 1,100 children dally have attended this school, and 1,280 were refused admission on account of iack of room, although there are 100 rooms In the building, ¥ Yesterday was “Mothers’ Day,” a @ort of exhibition of the work, which ‘will close for the season on Aug. 19. Here the children are taught to sew, to crochet, to cook, to carve, to work in tron, to cane chairs, to weave bask- ets, and, incidentally, to grow strong and graceful In the playroom, where they are taught various pretty forms bagk ‘ ball and dancing that, ers Kagaged, Miss Hatch is the principal of the in- # * dustrial work, supervising everything that goes on In all the various depart- ments, Under her there are twenty- one teachers, The hours of the school are from @ until 12 in the morn- ing. This seasion ie divided into two divisions, as the schoo! is eo large, one from 9 until 10.30 and the other from 10.9 until 12 The exercises took place yesterday: fn the afternoon, beginning at 130, ‘First there was @ piano solo, than ‘violin and plano, by Miss Heard and Douglass Smith; followed by a little address by Miss Hatoh, and, finally) by the informal exhibition of the work. In the course of her remarks Miss Hatch said: “Whatever we have to show you is the femult of the boys’ and girls’ work dur- tng the past five weeks, My only re- @ret is that I have been obliged to de- prive so many of the childfen in the neighborhood of the sont sont derived from the summer schoo! mut I feel sure that by another year bape vision will be made that we shall be | able to accommodate more than double our present enrolment. Remarkable Work Done. We have done the best we could un- der the circumstances and thank tho Board of Education for standing by us #0 faithfully, We also remember very gratefully the efforts made by our City Superintendent, Dr. William H. Max- , well, and Associate Superintendent, Miss ‘Whitney, both of whom have labored #0 carnestly.that the children of New York might enjoy the vacation schools." The work done by the children in this @hort time is really remarkable. In the dressmaking department the girls are taught to make aprons, simple frocks, ekirts, &c, The pupils provide their own mal ig and receive the garments which they have made when completed. ‘This branch is taught by Miss Vogel "and Miss Morton, In the millinery department very pretty hate were exhibited. Not only the trimming, but also the frames were made by the girls. The straw hats were ‘woven on wire frames, which were also made by the pupils, The teachers are ‘Mies Pidgeon and Miss Barron, rl Nimble Fingers Show Skill, Pretty little sacques, shawls, hoods, ekirts, wristlets and bed-room slippers were exhibited in the crocheting de- partment, which Is presided over by ‘Miss Gent. The basket weaving was also extremely good, The teachers are ‘Miss Nichols and Miss Wehle, An interesting branch is that of chair eaning, taught by Mrs, Turner. Old chairs, minus seats, were brought from’ ‘ home by the children, and in course of time received nicely woven cane-bot- toms. About eighty chairs were caned Guring the five weeks, ‘The cooking class is conducted by Mrs, ‘Dashiell and Mise Det simple cookery is taugh\ the children, * Next week, it was said, that various ‘ fmeluding custards, sauces and soups. ‘ Four kindergarten rooms are in the Dasement of the bullding, The work exhibited was extremely creditable both to the pupils and to thelr instructors, of whom Miss Simons is in charge, with five assistante—rMs. Coles, Migs Wash- | Durn, Mise Haff, Mise Parsons and Miss * The nature class is in charge of Miss Steblin and the art class of Miss Palmer.

In future the swell Five-Hundred-and- Fifty matron can rest content that when she buys a Paris “creation” wil not upon her return from Paris find cheaper duplicates already on the backs of less-moneyed New Yorkers, At least this is what the latest action of the leading Paris dressmakers in- dicates, From the gay capital comes ward that ¥ the leading dressmakers have torm- trust “de l'elerance,” and such bs |-known names as Doucet, Diemert, Paquin, Laferriere, Rouff and Laudnits are included in it. ‘The trust was formed to protect the swell patrons and leading dressmakers from havi gowns imitated. “Tt will arent thing.” said a Prominent Fifth avenue dressmaker to an Evening World reporter to-day. “I am now preparing to go to Paria, and when I return I will feel sure that when T bring an exclusive style I will not see it duplicated,” Three vears ago a similar attempt was made in Paris to prevent Conti- nental and American houses from buy- ing the best models Paris can afford and then selling them to second-class pouses. ‘"T have known society women in New York to buy Paris gowns at a big figure, only to return and find copies at reduced prices in second-rate New York stores, The trust will do away with all of this, For instance, none of the new models will be shown to for- eign buyers before Aug. 15, and no model will be delivered to Continental trade before Sept. U6. It is the Contl- nental rather than the American buy- ers who wil suffer most, for America will receive the models one weok te- fore the Continent. “For the big ‘middle class,’ as we beige call Peale who are not in the Four Hundred, and Fifty, the trust “wait inet aetr Rodges tB the Mig pred pavin a "au cate Back from Far re the original is = ican buyel and consequently theft goede end, td @re on the market sive and firat @ chance at all.
