The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1875-10-21


TO classes and TO scholars for excellence in
scholarship or department. and nothing can
be exhibited, when neatly framed and hung
upon the walls OF our dwellings, with q
greater degree of satisfaction and pride than
this elegant evidence of a proprietary inter
est In this most important of the worlds ex-
positions The women OF America have un-
dertsken in their own behalf an independent
exhibit of woman's special handi-
work, in building constructed
| for the purpose. The means
were contributed by the ladies OF a few
states, and the women Of Indiana have been
invited to participate In the said exhibit.
| The movement Is a commendable one, and
is deserving the attention and support of
every citizen Of the state. The finance conf
mittee have guaranteed to the committee
| representing this special department a suffi-
Client amount of money from the general
! fund of the state to fully carry ont their
plans, and have placed IL subject to their
Immediate control. Among the expendi-
lures provided for in stating the amount of
money required from the people OF the state
Is one which will commend itself to every
Indianian. IT, Is proposed to erect a head
quarters building where our citizens who
may attend at Philadelphia may meet their
friends, receive their letters, arrange sp-
pointments with each other, and with cti-
zeDs OF other states and counties, where our
publications, setting forth the resources of
the state, may be distributed, and Informs

strangers. 1t has been thought advisable
that our enterprising quarrymen and our
| artisans In wood and iron should have an
opportunity presented them to contribute
section to this building, that it may be both
representative of our building re-
ship of our mechanics. Plans and
Specifications will be furnished to such as
may desire to contribute and the suggestion
is here offered that there is no time for de-
lay. Among the other expenditures pro-
posed are the preparation of a volume set
tiog forth the natural resources and indus
| trial statistics of the state for free distri-
| button at Philadelphia; the receiving, ar
ranging, labelling and forwarding of the
various specimens of grain, minerals, woods,
clay, etc. In financial sense the subject is
especially worthy the consideration of pub
/ lie spirited citizens. Every dollar expended
/ In presenting the attractions OF our prosper
Gus state for the location of capital in manu-
features and agriculture, and as induce
ments to emigration will certainly be pro-
ductive of material advantage to the people
of the state. For the better promo
ton of this important work it is
suggested that at each county seat and
in all the principal cities and towns COM
mittee of tive or seven gentlemen shall be at
once organized from those who have the
interests of their state aud country at heart,
and who will give the comparatively little
| time that may be necessary to secure
proper representa- ion of the several
attractions of their res pective localities.
So soon organized they should at once
communicate with the secretary OF the
general finance committee, @. s. Denny, OF
supply them with such further
particulars may DO requisite.
| 1t l. also recommended that a committee of
ladies shall be selected in the same manner
for the promotion of the woman's WORK, and
that they shall at once communicate with
Mrs. w o. lockwood, of indianapolis, who
has been appointed by the Woman's Ma
tional Centennial Committee at Philadel-
pha as the membsr tor this state.
The preparations for an exhibit of the
educational systems of the state ard their
advantages, are fully perfected under the
supervision OF committee OF
prominent educators, with ]. II.
Smart, superintendent of public instruc-
| ton, as chairman, and any communi-
bis departments will have prompt attention.
The special work OF exhibiting the material
resources OF the state has been entrusted
TO Prof. Il. It. Cox, State Geologist, who will
issue special circular in reference thereto
and will furnish full information.
