elaborate exhibit.
Goupil Il Company, of New
York and Paris, have been con
coded the important privilege Of
making an illustrated publication of
the contents of the Woman's
Building. The costly task has
been undertaken without expense
to the Exposition, upon the condi-
ton that the firm shall have the
exclusive sale Of the publication.
This is distinct from the official
catalogue, which will not be illus.
trated, and the title of it is now
under consideration. The quality
of the entire publication, az TO
paper, pictures and text, will be of
the finest possible dc >cription,
making al edition de luxe, of equal
attractivsness and value as a
souvenir of woman's share in the
Worlds Fair.
The Board Of Lady Managers,
soon after its organization, care
fnlly considered the most compre-
hensive method of presenting a
satisfactory showing of the work of
women in hospital and trained
nurse service. Making the early
discovery that but slight opportu.
nifty for such an exhibit would be
found in the Liberal Arts Depart
ment, owing to the limited space,
the Board eagerly sought the
desired opening through other
channels. The plans for medical
service, promulgated by the Medi-
cal Director of the Exposition,
contemplate the maintenance Of a
hospital in which the more ad
vanced modern theories will be
demonstrate A striking feature
of this will be an effective ambu-
lance service, each am bulance being
accompanied by a trained nurse
when called for the removal of a
patient to the hospital. Here the
Board of Lady Managers perceived
its opportunity, and at once began
the foundation of an elaborate
scheme, which ultimately assumed
national proportions and attracted
wide attention from many vital y
interested. This was the establish
ment and maintenance of series
of movable hospitals or relief
stations, at various POINTS on the
Worlds Fair grounds, by means
of which the safety and comfort Of
the public would be greatly served.
Patients requiring immediate atten.
tion can be taken into one of these
relief stations and there receive
such prompt, expert care as will
often render unnecessary their
removal to the hospital. In add.
tion to the fine opportunity thus
afforded for practical exhibition
of womsn's skill as a trained
nurse which was the original
incentive of he Lady Managers
this admirable plan also gave mag
niiicent scope for comprehensive
hospital exhibits which had been
crowded out of the Liberal Arts
Department. The idea Of the Lad Y
Managers has received the most
cordial approval of the Chief Of
Liberal Arts, who saw in ii oppor-
tunities for exhibits not in his
power 10 bestow. Fearing, how
ever, lest this service-great as IT
evidently must ha-mlnnt ha 70.
