EXHIBIT OF SCHOOLS SHOWS PRACTICAL WORK OF STUDENTS Patrons of Pendleton's schools, per sons skeptical over the modern trend of education and In 'fact all citizen would profit by a visit this evening or tomorrow to the Moose Hall where there nro exhibits of the industrial work being done by. the students of the high and grade schools. It la an exhibit that nstonlshes and almost am azeB one not closely in touch with the schools heue.' It is a revelation of the new, practical turn which school work Is taking. That which excites the most admi ration Is the exhibit of the work done In the manual training department of the high school. The main part of the floor space Is filled with furniture that defies the eye of anyone to dis tinguish It from store furniture. And when one stops to consider that it was all done by school boys, the admira tion grows and the average man feels . a little envious that he could not have had the advantage -of uch training when he was a boy. There are about 66 large pieces on exhibit, Including chests, library tables, music cabinets, bookcases, chi na, closets, dressing tables, dining tobies, serving tables, office furntture, . porch furniture, rocking chairs, ma gazine stands and piano benches, With but a few exceptions, all are made of hard wood. All of this was done by students in the course in cabi net making and there are besides ex hibits of the work done in the courses In carpentry, wood turning and Join ery. It. E. Chloupek is the Instruc tor under whom the work was done. In the west end of the auditorium there are exhibits from the domestic science department, pies," cakes, bread, cookies, Jelly, Jam, canned fruit, pickles and many other table delicacies made by the classes in cook ing, and then they are also many evi dences of the skill of the girls In needlecraft, pretty gowns that look like they came out of the fashion shop. All of this work was done un der the supervision of Miss Christy Mooro. ,. , . About the walls on all sides and on tables are the exhibits from the grade pupils, exhibits In drawing and Indus trial work such as basket weaving, clay molding and paper construction. Many of them are truly wonderful Miss Adel Poston has charge of this work In the schools. By eight o'clock this evening the candidates for state, county and dis trict offices of the republican, dem ocratic and progressive parties will be decided. All over the state the pri mary election is going on today and Indications are that the heaviest dem ocratic vote In the history of the state will be cast. Here In Pendleton weather con ditions favor a heavy vote but this morning balloting was very light, es pecially on the part of the republi cans. The democrats were turning out heavily owing to the interest in the candidacy for governor of Dr. C. J. Smith. Swearing in of voters has been going on all day, .the Smith workers being particularly active. Many women voters who did not reg ister are being sworn In. In precinct 40, the polling place of which is Burroughs office In the E. O. building, the judges made a mistake Ihls morning which necessitated some of the voters casting two ballots. All morning they gave out sample ballots to the democratic voters and did not discover their mistake until noon. At that time only 16 democrats hda voted and they were notified of the mistake so that they could vote again. This afternoon the vote Is picking up and It is predicted that a fairly heavy vote will be cast. The polls will not close until 8 o'clock so that there will be no excuse for anyone not voting who so dealres. The city Is quiet today, saloons, public offices and banks being closed In conformance with the provisions of the law. Portland Vote Hoary PORTLAND. Ore..
