ILLINOIS.

CITY EXHIBITS.

The school system of Illinois is well illustrated by an exhibit from the public schools of Aurora, Prof. W. B. Powell, superintendent. This exhibit gives a very excellent idea of the public school system in its most advanced state.

An exhibit somewhat smaller in size, but excellent in quality, is made by the public schools of Peoria, Professor Dougherty, principal.

The Voice and Hearing School for the Deaf at Englewood made a creditable display of work by pupils.
