New Orleans Exposition

new orleans EXPOSITION.
The following circular letter to the
schools of Minnesota, superintendents
and teachers, has been issued by Su-
perintendent Kiehle:
To the Schools of Minnesota, Superin-
te,adents and Teachers:
The announcement Of the Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans has come
to US so recently that we hardly have
had time to thoroughly comprehend
it's Importance. and still less To pre-.
pare for fair exhibit of our own ed
ucational resources and work.
I have issued frequent circulars of
information as the plans Of the several
committees have matuIed, and have
kept you as we'll informed as the cir
cumstances have allowed.
Our exhibit is now we'll organized
and under way. About fifty institu-
tions, cities and counties will make
contributions. We shall have the ar,
chitecture, apparatus and school work
Of every grade to represent the Char.
acter and range Of our educational
work.
The responses have been prompt
and the preparation is general beyond
all our expectations. Can assure the
friends of education that Minnesota
will be thoroughly represented and
will present satisfactory evidences of
her progress in education.
And now the matter that next re-
quires attention is to encourage our
teachers to avail themselves Of this
opportunity to see and enjoy all that
is promised in the visit to southern
latitude in the winter months, to wit
ness the progress of free civilization
among an emancipated people, and
the progress Of the worlds industries
in an exposition that promises to rival
the Centennial at Philadelphia.
In this general interest shall ex.
pend the money at my disposal, not in
salaries, but in defraying expenses of
such of our educators as can call to
my assistance to arrange the exhibit
and to superintend it during the
months of it's progress.
TIE time at which most Of oul
teachers must visit New Orleans will
be the holiday vacation. For this rea.
son the Executive Committee has
postponed the State Teachers Associ.
alton, and after consultation with
County Superintendents I have decid
ed to postpone the meeting of County
superintendent until the year follow
ing.
In view Of the Importance Of this
opportunity. / recommend to boardl
of education that. if desired by theil
teachers, the holiday vacation be ex
tended to at least three weeks. Tht
cost Of round trip ticket from St
Paul will be tWenty.slx dollars.
shall, with the assistance Of those wht
are on the ground, make all possible
provision for the comfort and econo
mical living of Minnesota teachers
by establishing headquarters for teach
ers and publishing fullest information
for their guidance.
AS the work of preparation progress
es, I shall keep you informed, evel
at the risk Of profuseness, for TIN
time is short and we have much to do
In the mean time let me urge to expe
dition and diligence in the prepare
tion Of whatever is possible within th,
time fixed.
