A movement was begun by the Ex-
position management, a few days ago,
to bring all school children above the
graded grammar schools to the EXPOSE
ton, and 1t Is believed that at least
a quarter of a million will come. There
are a half-million boys and girls In the
high schools. seminaries and academies
Of the southern states, and 1t IL esti-
brought. DR.. Charles w. Da'bney. jr..
chairman of the government board,
who spent many years of his life In
educational work. holds that II Is the
greatest educational opportunity OF the
generation, and the government exhibit
alone, when properly studied. will be
better than a school term. Principals
of academies. seminarles and colleges,
complain that their schools will be de-
h,, bn foil
and to meet the case, an organized ef-
fort will be made to get all such institu-
tons to give one week vacation. and
bring their schools In a body to the Ex-
position, SO that afterward the pupils
can go on with their work without in
terruption. A number of schools have
already decided. on their own accord. to
do this. II II can be done upon large
scale. quarters may be secured at
very moderate cost. This will be done
In case Of the boys. by providing tents.
For the girls. better accommodations
will be secured, either in boarding
houses or in hotels specially constructed
for the purpose.
