Before Being Sent to the
Exposition.

The colleges, academies aud parochial
schools of the Archdiocese of San Francisco
are working hard on their educational ex-
hibit to be made at the Worlds Fair.
The work of preparation is being done
outside of school hours, but it is being
pushed as rapidly as time and the exigen-
eies OF other labor will permit.
Those in charge of the exhibit expect 1t
will be completed early in February, and
before being sent to Chicago it will be
placed on exhibition in the Mechanics Pa
vilion. The exact date when the exhibit
will be shown in the Pavilion has not yet
been decided on. but it will be some time in
the beginning OF March.

what comprehensive its general features
may be classed under two heads: First,
/ those which are intended for display. such
as large maps, relief maps, framed draw
ings, paintings museum for object lessons.
apparatus. ETC.. and second, those intended
to show the daily work of the school, such
as pybooks containing homework exer-
clses. written examinations, notes. specimen
pages OF handwriting, drawing, etc, which
VIII be properly graded, classified and
bound IN albums and volumes. The name
aud age OF the pupil, grade and school, to-
gether with the date of the work. will ap-
pear on each specimen copybook, album
and volume.

the albums In volumes, particular atten-
ton viii be paid to the grading. And as

TEN prominently forward and make it ap-
