Professional education, especially the
teaching of medicine and dentistry, will
be amply illustrated by charts, photo
graphs, and plans of medical buildings,

The schools of science and technology are
expected to contribute largely Of their
products to the section especially devoted
TO institutions of this character. Plans
of bridges, buildings, and machines, aud
constructions of various kinds will form
u part of the display of the schools of
technology. The schools for the educa-
tiOn OF the deaf mutes and the blind aud
reform schools are to be especially repre-
sented by their PRODUCTS, coming not
only from their school room, but also
from the shops which are frequently q
part of these schools. A library room has
been planned. in which there will be
found current numbers of the educational
periodicals of the country, the most use
tba uaftp pps Gits
icals and other material of similar
nature.
Tho representation of statistics by
charts VIII be largely shown in this
room; the statistics of illiteracy will be
presented by colored maps, showing the
localities in which education has been
most neglected. Physical and chemical
laboratories have been planned by pro.
iessors of these subjects, and will be so
arranged as not only to display tho ap-
paratus illustrating the different depart
ments OF these sciences, but to show visi-
tors some Of the moro common and useful
experiments which are performed before
classes in physics and chemistry. The
manual training schools which have
sprung up in the country since the con-
tennial will be represented by the tools
and machines which are used in these
schools, and it is believed that under the
management of skillful sunerinteudent
the actual operation of these schools in
teaching carpentering, forging, machine
work, and the like, will be handsomely
displayed. The schools of art OF tho
country will be represented by their pro.
duct, which will form most interesting
part of this display. 1t Is believed that
this bureau will mako % most interesting
and instructive exhibit to MI who feel an
interest in more advanced stage of edu-
cation.
The census Office will illustrate by
series of illuminated charts and diagrams,
together with some geomotrical figures,
the present stature of this country, and
its growth by decades, as far as may bo
possible, in population, agriculture, man-
uiactures, mining, forestry, fisheries, and
Other material interests. The present

pared with foreign countries, will be in.
dlcated by u combination of figures and
illustrations showing our relative popu-
lation, industrial emplOyments, and value
OF products, acreage and agricultural
products, wealth, taxation, and indebted
ness, with interesting comparative data
relating to the defective and dependent
classes Of the people, to their social prog.
ress, occupations, sc.
