1. Display of Exhibits.

     Exhibits generally show to best advantage when mounted so that they may be placed on the wall. Wherever possible exhibits should be mounted on stiff card board of regular size (22x28 inches) arranged when permissible so that the card board will hang with the large dimensions vertical.

2. Assignment of Exhibit Space.

     For collective exhibits the amount of space which will be reserved in each lot will be indicated by the number of regulation cards (22x28 Inches). This will, be wall space. The exhibitor may fill this space by such arrangement of his exhibit as he desires. For work that cannot be mounted on cards, the exhibitor will be allowed to use shelves or floor space equivalent to the amount of space indicated by the number of cards 22x28 inches.

3. Labelling of Exhibit Cards and Exhibits.

     The name of the respective school or county should appear on each separate card board of mounted exhibits. This should appear in large letters on each card. Each article in the exhibit should show in which grade work was done and may bear whatever data the exhibitor desires as to name of pupil and conditions under which the work was performed.

4. School Work.

     The work exhibited must be work done by pupils as a regular part of the school work done either during school hours or at home from instruction received in the regular work of the school.

5. Placing of Exhibits.

     Large collective exhibits should be accompanied by the exhibitors who will be responsible for arrangement of exhibits. Small collective, or individual exhibits may be sent unaccompanied by exhibitor and will be put in place by the local committee.

6. Arrival of Exhibits.

     Exhibits may be sent any time after November 10. All exhibits unaccompanied by the exhibitor should arrive at the City Auditorium not later than Friday morning, November 18. Where exhibits are accompanied by the exhibitor, he may bring them as late as Tuesday morning, November 22, so that they may all be in place not later than Tuesday evening. Perishable exhibits in agriculture, geography and cooking may be brought and placed as late as Tuesday evening, November 22.

7. How to Send Exhibits.

     Except in case of very heavy and bulky articles exhibits should be sent by prepaid express, or by mail in case of small articles. The exhibits should be carefully wrapped, packed and protected so that they may arrive at Lincoln in the best possible shape. Address exhibits to E. C. Bishop, City Auditorium, Lincoln, Nebraska, and send notice by letter when the exhibit is forwarded.

8. Entry of Exhibits.

     Each exhibit should be accompanied by the proper entry card carefully and completely filled out. The entry blank, with record of all entries made, should be forwarded to the Superintendent of Exhibit. Write for extra entry cards if needed.

9. Entry by Classes and Lots:

     A school may enter as many classes and as many lots as desired, but it is recommended that schools making collective exhibits limit entry to those lots in which they can make a creditable showing. To be well represented in one lot, however small, will be creditable to any school. It is desired that schools make as complete an exhibit as possible in only one or more lots rather than in a greater number with incomplete or poorly selected exhibits. The object of the exhibit is to show the best work done in the schools of the state in the various lines of industrial education. The educative value of the exhibit to the school children must come largely when the selection of work is made in the home district.

10. Single Entry of Articles.

     No article will be considered in more than one lot, except individual entries by pupils when so labeled may be considered a part of a collective exhibit.

11. Ownership of Exhibits.

     All exhibits will remain the property of the exhibitor at the close of the exhibition, and should be cared for by the exhibitor or by some delegated person. On request the local committee will care for exhibits where the exhibitor cannot be present.

12. All exhibits should be from work of school or pupils since September 1, 1909.

     For convenience in assignment of space, both as to location and amount, the following divisions are made:

Division I--City Schools.

     Includes all schools organized under subdivisions 14 and 17.

Division II--Town Schools.

     Includes all town schools organized under subdivision 6.

Division III--Village Schools.

     Includes all town and village schools organized under subdivision 3, and all consolidated rural schools maintaining high school grades.

Division IV--Rural Schools.

     Includes all rural schools which do not maintain high school grades.

Division V--Counties.

     Includes work from any or all schools of the county, except city schools (Division I), as entered by the county superintendent in a collective exhibit.

Division VI--Individual Pupils.

     Open to pupils enrolled in any school in this state since September 1, 1909.

Division VII--State Educational Institutions.

     Includes the University of Nebraska, the state normal schools and other state institutions offering industrial education.

Division VIII--Other Than State Institutions.

     Includes all denominational. and private universities, colleges, and other schools offering industrial education.

     The object of the industrial exhibit is to provide a means whereby teachers and supervisors &n attendance at the state teachers' meeting may learn by inspection the kind, character and extent of work being done in the best schools of the state in the various lines of industrial education.

     In order that exhibitors may receive some return for the expense of preparing and exhibiting their work,, the executive committee of the State Teachers' Association has provided a fund for awarding pro rata premiums. For collective exhibits, these premiums will be distributed In such a manner as to give recognition to all creditable exhibits

     Each school making entry will be classified in each lot entered, according to the division to which such school belongs. (See "divisions defined.")

     The standard of judging will be adapted to the various divisions. The basis for judging will be as follows:

     1. Completeness of exhibit 20 percent

     2. Quality of work done as shown by exhibit 60 percent

     3. Arrangements of exhibit 20 percent

     In deciding item 1 the judges will take into consideration the completeness of the exhibit in work as ordinarily done by a school of the division indicated, in the particular lot in which entry is made.

     In deciding item 3, the judges will take into consideration the manner in which exhibit is displayed. This will include attractiveness and taste used in arrangement, neatness and system in mounting, and also the complete and definite labeling of exhibits so as to give the observer a clear idea of what the work represents.

     The entrance card will show, if the exhibit is made by city, town, village, rural school, or by the county as a whole. The amount of space to which each school is entitled for collective exhibits in the various lots will depend upon the division to which the school belongs. The general proportion will be as follows:

     Where the space limit is 100 cards, a city school may occupy the entire space for 100 cards, a town school 60 cards, a village school 30 cards, a rural school 15 cards, etc.

     In this class especially exhibits should be mounted on stiff card board (22x28 inches), arranged to hang with the long dimensions of the card in vertical position.
