EXHIBITION OF SCHOOL WORK.

♦__ _ The following circular has been sent to teachers and school committees in the Wanganui Education District by Mr W. Gray, Chief Inspector : — "It is proposed to hold, towards the end of the year, an exhibition of school work — writing, drawing, and work done in connection with classes under the Manual and Technical Act. The object of the exhibition is to bring together the beat work done in the district, and by this means to give to all an opportunity of seeing what is done. The advantage from an educational point of view will be incalculable, and your hearty co-operation is invited. Any work done in your school that you consider will be of interest should be sent in. The exhibits ot each school will be numbered, and the names ot unsuccessful exhibitors, whether individual, class, or school, will not appear on the exhibit and thus invidious comparisons will be avoided. A schedule showing the various classes, etc., for competition, will be issued shortly. If possible prizes and certificates will be given to successful competi tors. It is the intention to hold the exhibition about the end of the school year, and in order that as many children as possible may have a chance to attend, it is suggested that the annual exourgion of the school be held during the time that the exhibits are on view. Representations will be made to the Bail way Department with a view to securing the greatest possible facilities. With regard to children of schools situated at more than one day's journey from Wanganui, arrangements will be made, if possible, for billeting them overnight. A strong committee has been formed to arrange the whole matter, and given enthusiasm on the part of the teachers and School Committee of the District, the exhibition is bound to be the success that the movement deserves. Any suggestions you may wish to make, and all communications in regard to tho exhibition, should bo addressed to the Secretary, Education Board, Wanganui, and marked ' Technical.' Trusting that the scheme will commend itself to you,"
