EDUCATIONAL WORK.
Some Points on New Mexico's Exhibit
at the Great Exposition.

One of the chief features Of the Worlds
Columbian exposition will be its educs-
tional exhibit. This exhibit will he in
stalled upon the ground floor Of the main
building, and the space given it is between
four and five acres, an area larger by far
than was ever before offered to this IN
terest.
The educational exhibit will be organ
lied both by states and by grades. Each
state will occupy definite area, these
areas will be side by side, in parallel sub
divisions extending north and south +;
while in each area, the several grades,
from primary to most advanced, will be
presented in consecutive arrangement
extending east and west. Thus the stu
dious observer may follow the grades from
lowest to highest in any state; or, Cross
Ing the ares, he may trace the similarity
or variations ,n any chosen grade. The
parochisl schools will have definite place
in the scheme, conformably to the same
system. Certain forms of educational
work, as the kindergarten, manual train
ing, laboratory work, physical culture,
etc., Will he shown in active operation.
These practical exhibits will not form
part oil the systematic organization just
outlined, but will have place convenient
ly near and easily accessible.
The exhibit will show map OF each |
state, made on a generous scale, and
readable at distance of fifteen or twenty
feet. Upon this map will be designated
by certain colors uniform for all the states,
ton within the state represented, from
the common school to the college or
university. Specimens Of the work OF
pupils will be selected according to
carefully arranged plan these specimens
will in every case be selected because OF
their excellence, only the best will be
shown; it is at the same time strongly in
sisted upon that each item forwarded
shall be absolutely genuine, that it shall
be exhibited exactly as the pupil left it,
lncOrrected aud unimproved by the
eacher. No special instruction, practice
'r drill is permitted. Such in brief is the
,lan of the educational exhibit as recently
by Mr.. Seim H. Peabody,
hief department of liberal arts. 1t should
