posing in the splendid group surround.
Ing the Court of Fountains. This build.
ing is 500 by $40 feet, wits a central
court and having a dome 70 feet in di-
ameter over the entrance on the south.
Manufactured products and those IL
Illustrating the liberal arts are so closely
allied that they naturally are classified
in the same general group, and at the
great eXpositions of recent years they
have been housed under the same roof.
Under the general classification Of lib
eral arts are included such subjects as
those of education and social economy,
books, periodicals.. scientific apparatus,
hygiene and sanitation, musical instru-
ments, public works, civil engineering,
constructive architecture, photographs
and Photographic supplies, medical,
dental and surgical apparatus and 9th
err branches of intellectual activity. In
deed it is the most progressive and no.
BILE Of the tendencies and achievements
of this age of enlightenment and civil
cation which are represented in the ex-
hibits of this division of a great expo
sition.
The work of collecting and classify
ing the Liberal Arts exhibit for the
Pan-American Exposition is now well
under way and Is In charge of DR.. SCI
lin II. Peabody, whose successful han
ding of the same division at the great
Columbian Exposition OF 1893 marks
him as the best qualified man on the
| American continent for the discharge
| of such ii task.
The exhibits OF the Liberal Arts diyi-
sion as well as those of other depart
ments will be concentrated and repre-
sentative rather than vast in extent
and exhaustive in scope. Most crafty
ing progress has been made since the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in methods Of
education in the public schools, uniyer-
stiles and colleges of the United States
and other Pan-Amerlcan countries The
educational exhibit will give special
attention to exemplifying this great
progress and showing the present state
Of our educational institutions. 1t is
the intention to have models prepared
| representing the equipments Of schools,
colleges and universities. The exhibit
made by the United States In the Paris
exposition will be removed to Buffalo
for the PanAmerican and will be sup
plemented with additional exhibits
Closely related to the educational ex-
hibIt will be those In social economy
and In hygiene and sanitation, Under
the head of social economy will be in.
cluded such subjects as charities and
correction, cooperative associations
and trades unions, apprenticeship and
child labor, protection OF workingmen
in factories and mines, workingmen's
dwellings,, etc.
The division ~ sanitation and hygi-
enc is one OF great practical impor
lance, and great progress has been
made within decade along this line
Indeed It may perhaps be said that the
subject has become almost 4 science In
itself, and certainly in its relations to
the daily life Of the people It's inpor
lance cannot be too much emphasized.
The exhibit at the Pan American Ex-
position, which Is under the Immediate
supervision Of DR.. Jacob s. Otto. an au.

comprise such subjects as physical cul
ture, and the apparatus usedAn Various
