very succesitfully presented yesterday source and use of materials
An exhibit of industrial art, pre
pared by the Kindergarten-Primary
department, is on display this week
on the third floor 01 xeacner s col

The collection consists of a scries
of group projects, made by the ad-j

fashion of a child, to illustrate the

by the University Chorus accompan
ied by the University Orchestra. It
was presented in the Armory at the
11 o'clock convocation.
The play dealt with simple villag
ers of a century ago who were cele
brating the feast of St John. The
teaching of reading, writing, arith
metic, and other subjects.
Nearly all of the materials used
in the construction of the scenes
could have been resurrected from
the combined resources of any attic
and any back yard. Yet wherever
oossible the diminutive objects are

maiden might discover the identity
of her future husband formed the
plot. The play is centered about the
way in which her predictions work
out in the case of Nancy, a village
maiden.
A great deal of credit is due to Mr.
Quick, the director, and Mrs. Carrie
B. Raymond, conductor, for the suc
cess of the operetta. The chorus
showed an excellent power for inter
pretation and a marked ability for
creating effect. The orchestra ac
companiment with Donna Gustin at
the piano deserves mention also
However in several places the solo
parts did not seem to carry strong
ly enough above the orchestra and
the chorus. The recitation of Nancy
in the second scene by Elsie Neely
was unusually good.
The cast of the play was as fol

Neely, soprano.
Roberta (a young villager)

Margaret (an ancient dame) Syl

have taken the contralto part, was

attack of laryngitis.
as backgrounds.
Conspicuous among the projects is
an Indian village. Here are grouped
fir branches, to represent trees, and
painted teepees, many of the rabbit
skins for which were tanned by the
students themselves. At the tenta
doors portly squaws sit, wrapped in
gay blankets. Around a tiny camp-
fire, a number of braves Are danc
ingclothespins, dressed in skins
and beads, with painted faces and
hair of braided silk, baskets contain
ing papooses dangle from branches
of the "trees."
In another scene, the pilgrims are
marching sedately through the snow
to a little log church.
The 'greatest degree of animation
is visible in the farmyard project
One can almost hear the cackle of
the clay poultry, the lowing of the
painted cattle and the voices of the
over-all-clad farmers (clothespins,
again) as they move about in the
midst of the wooden and pasteboard
farm buildings.
The maple sugar industry is dem
onstrated in a snow-draped grove,
where tiny buckets, made of hollow
ed corks, are suspended from the
bare trees. "Log" cabins, designed
to contain a well-known brand of
syrup, represent the shacks ox tne
sugar makers.
Arctic life is pictured in a glitter
ing snow scene. Eskimos in black
furs are "mushing" their teams of
white clay dogs toward an igloo. A
kayak, the canoe of Eskimoland, is
moored nearby.
The objects of education is indus
