is reproduction of the famous Indian
encampment which was one of the
distinguishing features of the exposi-
tion of 1898. Indeed ethnology holds a
prominent place in the exposition this
year, and there is an excellent repre-
sentation of the life, customs and en-
virons of the aborigines of every sec
tion of Greater America
A perfect reproduction of Filipino
village is one of the attractions of the
exposition. 1t is designed literally to
portray the Filipinos as they are.
About 20 families of natives have been
brought over. There is also band of
musicians and troop of performers.
Besides furnishing entertainment
and instruction to the sightseer and
the student, the colonial exhibit has in
it large element of utility. 1t will
tend to show the variety of articles
most in demand among the inha bitants
of our newly acquired islands. and
from the natives can be learned just
what range of American products may
find ready sale there.
Whatever may be the diversity of
opinion as TO the wisdom or otherwise
of the so called policy of expansion,
there is unquestionably an almost uni
versal desire for information regarding
these insular possessions. The people
want to judge for themselves, so far as
it is possible for them to do from the
knowledge obtainable, whether, as
result of our war with Spain. we got
''gol0 brick or ''bonxnza. l know
of no better source for such informa-
tion than the Greater America exposi
ton affords HENRY ATwATER
