The plan is one which may be carried
out gradually and by degrees. The vari-
Gus counties will be invited TO make a

view of starting a permanent exhibit.

rary exhibit to remain as nucleus
Of the permanent one which can be
added to and enlarged afterwards as

The successful beginning Of such an ex-
hibit, 1t is thought, will insure the
complete realization OF the plan. as II
Is expected that the advantages sug-
gested by the display Of even a few
counties will cause a friendly rivalry
that will stir them all up to the value
