Oregon il one OF the States which has
made extensive displays OF her fruit
products, and her section in horticulture
hall has attracted wide attention. The
fruit il renewed every two or three days,
and il brought daily from the distant
scacoast at great expense. {. b, Irvine,
who has charge OF shipments has re-
cclved Il large consignment OF strawbcr-
rics. These were five DAYS on the route
making the journey Of $500 miles
through all kinds OF weather. Straw
berries are considered by iruitmen to be
the most liable to injury OF any fruit,
and the condition in which the consign-
mcnt reached jackson Park is thought
TO be remarkable. The berries were well
preserved and seemingly as fresh rs the
day they were picked, a thing which is
considered the more remarkable in view
of the fact that cold storage en- route
was dispensed with.
One OF the most interesting and COM
plcte educational exhibits to be seen at
jackson Park is that OF the province of
Quebec, which is in charge OF Brother
Andrews OF the Christian Brothers. Two
sections in the gallery OF the manufact-
ures building are devoted TO showing the
work OF the paroChial schools in this part
of Canada, and one division represents
the different stages OF scholastic training
in the Protestant institutions OF the
province. The display begins with the
lowest grade and specimens OF work done
by the pupils from the time they enter
school until they are turned out thor
oughly schooled, fitted to take their po-
sition in society, and are to be seen in
their regular order. The studies include
all branches known to the educational
world; but, il the pupils excel in any
one thing, judging from the exhibit, it is
in penmanship and drawing. The course
OF instruction makes special point Of
these two necessary requirements OF the
student, and the result is most gratiiy-
ing to the instructors. The various
schools that are best represented in the
exhibit are those of the Christian Broth
ers, Brothers of the Sacred Heart, Broth
ers of Christ, Sisters OF the Good Shep-
herd, Sisters of the Assumption, Jesus
Marie Sisters, Sisters of Charity, Con-
gregation of the Holy Cross and many
others of the well-known parochial in
stitutions.
