The blub as a body decided to assist
heart and soul in the reception OF the
teachers who attend the state institu-
ton here and a committee was appointed
to formulate plans and consult with Sup

Mrs. Reuger has just returned from q
years visit to all the principal cities of
Europe n she read a too brief account
or the trip. This she illustrated by
means of very large photographs of the
most places and scenes. n
picture of the Descent from the Cross
was in colors. So interesting was her

bers that it be printed entire. Few pa
pers read are from people who have ac-
tually seen the places they talk of and
such a rarity, ought to be preserved, Her
paper was entitled Affairs at Home and
Abroad"

How is a person of my build to take a
hop, skip and jump over two continents
and state to you even the most note

experiences, which will be with me while
memory lasts. But many of these things

many of you. So much is printed and il
Illustrated nowadays of all things and all
countries, that few are not more or less

notable in the world. Therefore / have
concluded for today to how you a few
photographs, selected from til. collection
made on my journey.
a) general view of the Paris EXPOSE
ton; on the Champs de Mars. The view
is taken from the Trocadero palace on
the north slope of the Siene. This paIaca
and the wonderful Eiffel tower are relics
of former expeditions. Nothing can ex-
cell in interest the birds-eye view of this
marvellous creation of mans genius and
the stupendous city surrounding it, OBJ
tanned from the top of the tower.
Notable at the exposition is the archl-
tectural beauty of many of it's buildings.
