1HE WORK II BMHIBiB \ZWX
It Ic Especially Attractive As Is Also
the Display Made by tho High
School Students?The Department
of Business Takes Rank Among the
Very First.
Yesterday afternoon tho doors or
the County High School wore thrown
open to the public for the purpose
of giving them an opportunity or
witnessing the splendid exhibit pre?
pared by the schools of the county.
The academic work was supplement?
ed by the manual training In trio
primary grades, and the special de?
partments of the High School In
eluding the art, department of busi?
ness, and the work in science de?
partment.
The Work In Grammar Grades.
The work in tho grades was es?
pecially attractive, tho plan adopted
was lo give each teacher one leat
In th'e cabinet, to bo arranged ac?
cording to her own ideas and then tho
besr work of the three schools?the
Phoebus Graded School, Shies
Eaton and West End Academies,
was submitted to a committee to be
arranged.
The academic work was displayed
to advantage from the first grade to
the High school and was the source
of much favorable comment on ttie
part of iho patrons. The Washing?
ton and Lee chart attracted consid?
erable attention.
The local industries, Including tbo
? tlsh and crab, were treated by the
pupils of all the grades and tho es
says on St. John's church and His?
toric llnmpton were ably handled by
tho students of the'three schools.
The High School Exhibit.
Tito exhibit m this department was
far beyond the hopes of the mo3t
sagtttne. One cabinet consisting of
thirty-three charts was reserved Tor
the special work In tho High school.
Each teacher had charge of the work
in Is department and tbo students
contributed their every effort to the
success of the local as well as the
national exhibit.
The Department of Business.
Anton's the special exhibits of the
High School, the department of busi?
ness took rank with the first. This
work was opened in September and
all the work embraced la of strictly
business use.
After bookkeeping and shorthand,
special emphasis lias been placed on
penmanship and rapid calculations.
The penmanship exhibit showed some
excellent specimens of muscular
movement, first the drills and then
plain, easily written penmanship; leg
ii'lllty and speed being aparently the
first consideration. For first year
work these specimens showed excel
lent student work. The rap'/ calcu?
lation work was particularly interest?
ing and useful. Tho sheets showed
timed examples in interest, invoicing,
multiplication ami addition, some of
these consisting of ten-item sheets in
interest and invoicing correctly done
in one minute and 5 seconds: others
show 300 figures added in three min?
utes, thirty-five seconds?all <1 ?t rirsl
year work. Commercial arithmetic,
was represented by some practical
every-day problems, partial note set?
tlements, equation of accounts, ship
settlements, etc. The touch^hiethotl
Is employed in the typo-writing de?
partment and the specimens shown
were particularly fine, Including from
first chart, lessons to the most diffi?
cult tabulating, all done entirely by
touch.
Some very neat notes were contrib?
uted by the shorthand olassosv?aman?
uensis, letter and reporting notes, ac?
companied by transcripts. Business
correspondence was represented by
students' letters and envelope ad
MPTON, PH
I dresses, showing bo'.h business-like
I ronttor nud neat penmanship. i
l Commercial law ami bookkeeping
(both single and double entry) sh?>w- '
e,| excellent bundling by the students'
of ordinary business document.
Indeed, the knowledge to Wt Rained
in this department should bo In the
possession of every young man und
"woman, whether a business future I?
to be theirs or not. It seems to us
(hat those completing tills course
nrbscrlhcd In this department of the
Hampton High School will be most
excellently prepared to make success?
ful starts In life.
Agriculture, Forestry, Zoology and
Biology.

sprouted, young plants, twigs and po?
tatoes. ?
