Rev. Father p. c. York, who is secretary
of the educational board and the chief ex-
ecutive officer engaged in preparing the ex-
hibition, is enthusiastic over the success
that is being attained.
"The Catholic schools only opened last
Monday" he said in a interview with
CALL reporter last night, ''and they imme-
diatey started in to prepare for the eXhl-
bitian. Every school will present some
distinctive feature.
For instance. st. Ignatus College pos
sesses the fifth finest physical and chemical
laboratory in the United States.
1t has also the finest electrical apparatus
in the country.
Then that college has its own band and
orchestra.
''The Brothers OF Mary have prepared a
map in relief OF California. 1t is over 10
feet tong by feet wide, and every creek,
rivulet. Hill and vale is distinctly marked
on its surface.
"They are also preparing some OF the fn-
est illumination work ever seen in this city.

their handiwer6, will exhibit some startling

broiderieS.
'Ths wall space Of the Pavilion will be
covered with paintings drawings and maps
the work Of Catholic pupils.
I'm addition to all these, the various
schools have agreed TO contribute their rich
treasures of curiosities and minerals.
The Catholic school system will show
that 1t is not behind the times in its kinder
garten work. Glasses from these schools
will perform their tasks before the people
during the time of the exhibition.
The progress in physical culture and all
other attainments and arts made by Catholic
educational institutions will be fully ex-
hibited and comparison invited.
An effort will be made to have'the booths
arranged about the Pavilion represent in
papier mache the architectural outlines of
the schools aud colleges taking part In the
exhibition. The school work Of all The in
| stitntons for the past year will be bound
in volumes and placed in glass cases.
| The clerical and lay teachers engaged in
| the various schools will also exhibit the
| progress they have made in the science OF
| pedagogics.
! Father York said: at is the desire of
! the Archbishop to make the exhibit from
| San Francisco fiattering success.
You know there are eighty-fonr dioceses
| to be represented at Chicago, and we are
naturally ambitious TO have San Franciaco's
| Catholic educational display one OF the
| finest and most complete that will be
exhibited.
''Of the schools that will take part
twenty-six are in this city. fourteen in Ala
media, three in Marin, three in Sonoma.
Mendocina one. Solano two, San Mateo one,
! Santa Clara six and San Joaquin two.
They are OF every character, from uni
versities Ike Santa Clara, st. Ignatius and
| St. Mary's down to the kindergarten
| classes.
There is probably no branch of educa-
ton that will be unrepresented, and from
an educational standpoint the exhibition
| will be world in itself"
After the exhibition the displays will be
sent on to Chicago for the exposition.
Brother Aurelan OF the Christian Broth
ers will have charge of the work for the
United States.
