WORK OF PUPILS
IOWA EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT -- CLINTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Great Undertaking Successfully Accomplished -- What Teachers and Pupils Have Done.

The educational exhibit of the Clinton public schools to be displayed at the world's fair the coming summer, was completed so far as teachers and pupils were concerned before the schools closed for vacation last Friday.
The exhibit, which is now being carefully arranged and bound, is undoubteddly one of the most voluminous and complete ever prepared by any school district in the state of Iowa. It comprises twenty-four volumes of some two and three hundred pages each, besides six dozen large size photographs, showing the several school buildings inthe city andinterior views of the different schools, showing methods of instruction and every branch of study with classes in working order.
The exhibit is classified into three departments -- the elementary, grammar and high school. The two former comprises six volumes each and the latter twelve volumes.
Throughout the entire exhibit no attempt has been made to show results of examination. The work was prepared by the pupils under special direction of the teachers for the purpose of showing the character and scope of the work as done in each grade, and the methods employed in teaching each branch of study.
The exhibit will prove instructive to educators and others interested in school work by reason of its great variety. Each volume contains something different and each page something new -- each pupil seemingly having an idea of his or her own which is conveyed to the page in a manner that at once invites attention and admiration.
One of the interesting an pleasing features clearly brought out in the exhibit, is the line of study pursued in the public schools of this city. Everything seemingly pertains to matters and things of every day practical use -- things that the pupil must sooner or later grasp inthe full sense and meaning of the term. In the volumes devoted to history and geography it is noticeable that much thought and study is given to our own country -- its history from the advent of Culumbus down to the present day, prominent historical events, etc., while many cities, states and territories of the United States are brought out in maps which show a skill and pleasing familiarity on the part of the pupil. While some space is devoted to places and events ineuropean countries, much of little or no practical use to the pupil here has been omitted, it seemingly being the intention of the public school system of Clinton to familiarize the pupil so as much as possible with the land of his birth or adoption and things which will one day come within his grasp.
In the arrangement and completeness of this exhibit much credit is due to Supt. O. P. BOSTWICK and the large corps of efficient teachers of the Clinton public schools. Nothing apparently hasbeenslighted or omitted tending to show the line of study followed in each department. From the "C" grade of the high school rooms the exhibit is replete with a method of instruction which has been readily grasped and successfully carried out by the pupils in each department. Although necessarily submitted to much handling while in course of preparation, the work throughout presents a remarkably clean and neat appearance, the pages being free from blots or marks which one might expect to see in a work of this kind, especially that portion prepared by the younger pupils.
As a complete review of the exhibit from each department would make a volume in itself, the AGE will content itself by giving the class work furnished by the several school rooms, with the names of those scholars who work appears in the exhibit, the elementary work being first taken up.

This comprises the exhibit with the exception of twelve volumes of the high school, of which extended mention was made upon the occation of the school exhibit at Cedar Rapids some months ago. That the exhibit of the high school is one of the best in the state is demonstrated by the fact that it captured one of the big prizes at Cedar Rapids.

In connection with this exhibit of the Clinton schools, a chart is being prepared by Prof. FISHER, of the Business College, showing the course of study of the high school, which will surpass anything of like character ever before produced in Iowa.

This exhibit will be forwarded to Chicago next week.
