THE EDUCATE )NAL EXHIBIT.
our educational department, though
hot neglected, is not at all what it might
De. Early IN the fall L requested the
non ID. M: Baker, state superintendent
OF education, to secure photographs
OF our many public school-houses,
whlch the communities seemed will
ing 10 furnish free of cost, and also re-
| queSted him to have the same econom-
lcally framed. He has accordingly sent
10 me nearly 200 of these. The superior
architecture of these structures as
shown has ELECTED many expressions of
surprise and compliment. The blind
institute likewise furnishes some vaua-
pie and interesting contributions. Be-
slues these things i have caused to be
published some 10000 copies of the re-
sumo of our public schools, laws. svs-
TEN, ETC., prepared by Mr. Baker, and
which are now being generally dis
trlbuted to parties interested. AT their
assembling here the Texas Teachers,
association considered and determined
on certain matters in connection with
this exposition in the state educational
interests which will be brought i'm due
tune before your Excellency and the
legislature. 'A0
THE NATURAL HISTORY EXHIBIT.
In the geological, archaeological and
chronological departments, Texas is
more than well represented by those
skilled and laborious taxdermists,
Messrs. Gustaye Toudouze and II. p
Atwater. Here we have the most ar.
ustleally stuffed and mounted speci-
mems OF animals and birds, such as in
haDlt the woods and prairies; as also an
unequaled collection of insects, such as
1--we among the shrubs and trees, due to
Mr.. Heildgodt, of Bastrop. Not only
does this display interest and attract,
put II gives to the European and Amer,
lcan scientist correct idea of our soil
ana climate, and so verifies without
their personal observation tho state
ments about our industrial capabilities.
For the proper care of these
large number of showcases
secure them at cheapest figures. 7 took
sealed bids from st. Louis, Chicago and
New Orleans. The st. Louis bid being
the lowest and BEST, as in all such i'm.
stances, so awarded the contract. We
now have nearly 100 running feet of
these cases.
woMAN's WORK.
with our Woman's Work, I first ak.
! perlenced some embarrassment. as i'm
I, space allowed in the building 10
"Woman's Work for the United States,n
there was an utter insulliciency of room,
as Iexas had many times more in
TINS branch than any of the other
states. To have cared for IL
ourselves would have entailed
an expense for showcases, shelving
ana miscellaneous carpenter work, ma.
terlai, labor, etc., amounting to several
hundred dollars. To have receded
Woulu nave been to deprive ourselves
OF our share Of the $4,000 allowed. we
devised the proposition to make an "an.
mex" oil portion of the Texas space. |
Ihis met with favor and satisfactorily |
solVeu the problem, and thus not ONLY |
saved TO our fund a large amount of
money, put consolidated and placed to
better advantage the splendid offerings
OF our ladies and the entire state eS-
hibit. '"'o "a
