very laborious WORK to visit the separate build
ings. The German exhibition of educational
appliances Is very interesting. The system of
school examinations from our country is good,
and there is good supply of text books. The
general effect of the exposition is like passing
through a number of great and splendid shops
such as you will see in London, Paris, and New
York. There is not so much from Oriental
nations as presumed there would be, nor are
there representatives of those nations. In fact
there are comparatively few strangers here
such has been the suicidal policy of hotel
keepers and others. Vienna is noisy, dusty,
and hot"
