B St An instructive and remarkable exhibit Is shown by tha manual training department of the South Omaha city schools at 41A North Twenty-fourth street. The first day closed yesterday and the exhibits will re main during the rest of the week. The walls of tha large room are lined with pic tures, water colora, crayon and pencil sketches, aa well as fine maps, paper cut ting and kindergarten work. These repre sent all gradations of tha work of freehand and mechanical drawing from the lowest to the final year of tha high school. Many of the pieces are artlstlo and speak great praise for earnest instruction and patient effort. In addition to this work, the work of the sewing classes of the seventh and eighth gradea 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 the name of the maker and each girl makes a garment to fit her self. None of the seing is done by ma chine work. It all shows ability and many garments are exquisite. Manna! Training: Lessons. Work in wood carving and clay model ing In the fifth and sixth grades Is worth more than a passing glance. The comical face of a bull terrier with a side twist to hla nose, a pig which lacks only the squeal tigress with wicked eyes and a couchant panther on a rock, not to mention ele- pnants, norses, 110ns ana dragons, are among the excellent pieces on exhibition in the clay modeling class. The wood carving is mostly panel work on various designs. The boy's bench work in the grades Is thoroughly worthy. Kach boy haa a cer tain number of pieces to work out from blue print drawings. Good work is In sisted on and there is no lack of dicipllne on tha part of the instructor. It is ap parent that the boya love this hind of work and many of them excel in it. Tho cabinet work of the advanced classes In tho high school ia worthy of long study. AU kinds of Joining, such as a square mortice, a keyed mortice, a plain dovetail comer, a hidden dovetail corner, a gradu ated rule, a T square, a drawing board, a conbination book shelf, a hallc bench are among the exhibits. Today six boys from the South Omaha High school will do exhibition bench 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. Mlsa Lillian Ruders dorf of the Chicago Art institute, also a graduate of the University of Nebraska and a Couth Omaha girl by birth, has charge of the drawing and painting. Bowlers' Banquet Bnlly. ( . . The banquet, given, as a fitting close to the South Omaha bowling season last night at the Greer hotel, waa in every respect Joyful affair. Almost , every member of the eight bowling teams, as wen as a number of loylted guests, participated. A menu of creditable length and excellent variety waa enjoyed from the olives and grape fruit down to the last pull at the cigars. Not a thing was lacking which men enjoy on occasions of this kind. After the eating speeches were made by several distinguished citizens of the city, including J. M. Tanner, J. E. O'Hern, Swan Larson and a number of others. Athletics and fraternallam formed the basis of the sev eral addresses. Music waa furnished by part of the South Omaha High School or chestra, and by a trio of colored singers from Omaha.

The basement will soon be completed and the walls raised to a point where the cornerstone can be laid. This will bea ceremony of considerable moment and will take place in about three weeks. It was ascertained thaf about 116,000 had been pledged for the building and that the prospecta for more are good.
