it was
remarkable for its beauty and extent. In the model dining room the
tables, dishes, napkins, rug, floor, chairs, wall paper, and general
furnishings were all manufactured by pupils of the Chilocco School.
In the rear-center of the building was the assembly hall, where were
held the daily classes, under the direction of Miss Harrison, and the
musical and literary programmes, under the direction of Miss Crawford.
There were in attendance at the school during the exhibit 150 boys and
girls.
The following daily programme was observed:

The band concerts, under the direction of Mr. Lem Wiley, were always
well attended and heartily applauded. The feature that attracted more
attention, probably, than any other was the musical-literary programme.
At these entertainments the hall was always crowded, and the audience
never failed to be interested. The following programme, chosen at
random, will give an idea of the character of the exhibitions:
1. Prelude --------------------------------------- Orchestra.
2. Vocal solo --------------------------------- Dolly, Dolly.
Mary Leeds, Pueblo.
3. Scarf drill ------------------------------ Kindergartners.
4. Recitation -------------------------------- My Tambourine.
Ida Prophet, Seneca.
5. Vocal Solo --------------------------- Hearts and Flowers.
