In his annual report, superintendent Barnard.
OF the Seattle schools, says
IL will be observed that the educational ex-
nloits OF the different countries, states and
cities are to be arranged and displayed in a
single building. This is a wise plan, as it will
enable teachers and those interested in educa-
~ ttoua. anairs 70 make a comparative study OF
tne various school systems
Inc Seattle schools should be represented, but
10 make proper exhibit some money will be
required suggest that a special committee be
appointed to act with the superintendent in
deVlsing ways and means for the proper repre-
sentation of our schools at the Worlds fair in
1893
Superintendent F. B. Gault, of the Tacoma
schools, says after urging the wisdom OF making
complete exhibit:
To set off such display of pupils work and
to give the visiting world true idea of our
educational and 5, ciaI status, we should also
make complete pictorial representation OF all
our school buildings. There should be large
photographs of each building; there should be
drawings of the floor plans there should be in
terror views OF our school-rooms, Offices and
play-rooms.
On the broad margins of these Illustrations
should be brief descriptions. explanations and
statistics. The original building, now known
as the Emerson Annex" the Central, the
Emerson, the Bryant, the sherman and Whit
man will show the evolution of the school
house In Tacoma. This part OF the display
would cost something, but it would materially
enhance the value of the school exhibit in par
showing our advancement as a city in making
material provisions for q system of popular
education.
L W. Fansher, superintendent OF the Pacific
county schools. writes:
The most noteworthy and striking feature of
the public school system of this county lies in
the changes and contrasts between our present
surroundings and methods compared with
the same few years back. While our schools
are not as yet ideal ones, our advancement in
the last five years has in many respects been
marvellous. 1t seems to me that our exhibit can
only be made interesting by comparing the past
with the present and demonstrating to the
world that we in this matter are keeping pace
lines. l can safely promise you an exhibit
from Pacific county,
