Carolina, mter-Statcs and West Indian
Exposition which is to be held at
Charleston from Dee. l. 1901 to June /.
1902, and the grounds are now being
prepared and several buildings are
under process of erection.
\ brief description may be of inter-
est. To the architect In chief of the
exposition, Bradford l.. Gilbert, of New
York, am ! chiefly indebted for the
memoranda on which this description
is based. The site covers a tract of
about 100 acres of land on the eastern
bank of the Ashley river. about three
miles from the business center of the
city and within city lmits-an ideal
spot for the fairyland .of palaces, and
Nided already a magnificent grove of
live oaks, while on the western side
flows the noble Ashley river, the
grounds having river frontage of
over 1000 feet, while the river at this
point affords anchorage for the largest
vessels. The work of levelling and
grading Is over half done. and the
making of a lake of some thirty acres
In nN nd hn T,l.,
Gus plants and vines which grow so
vigorously in this genial cline, even
during the winter months, is far ad-
vanced. All this work is to be COM
pleted together, with the exposition
buildings made ready for occupancy by
Oct, l next. About one-half of the ex-
position grounds will form a natural
park of endless beauty. Instead of the
usual dusty, binding, tiresome, shade
less roadway, a winding path of one
hundred feet in width will be carried
under the spreading live oaks along
the edge of the lake, with seats in
shady hooks for rest. etc. Amid all
this foliage will be placed most inter-
esting groups of statuary.

LEARNING A TRADE.
The Danger of Making n Specialist
of BEGINNER.

1t IL generally to the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as whole, but only IA
In Casters Magazine. 1t pays better
to keep Il lad repeating the perform
uncc of one section of his craft than
to teach him all. More money Is made.
But the apprentice becomes II young
specialist, u prig In his teens. cocksurc
over some little piece of handicraft at
which he may earn something over his
normal wages, and many lad does
not become dlsillusionrd until he has to
face the world and try his luck in
other shops.
And therefore the best shops IN
which TO place lad are not the big cs-
thblishmcnts, but the small ones. where
every class OF work Is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant.
\ lad will learn more in these than In
those replete with every appliance and
mlnutcly suhdivlded into sections and
groups.
The best training for II lad today Is
that which he can evolve fm himself.
The greatest evil that can bcfall him
Is to become specialist and nothing
more while In his teens. Yet that is
what must happen If he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitlvc, unvarylng tasks In one big cs-
tabllshmCnt.
The hest training, therefore, today Is
that gathered by the pcripatctlc youth.
II Il lad cannot gain experience In ono
place, he should move about, gathering
us much aS he can accumulate with
one firm. then on to another, and ut.
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broudcncd
he becomes self reliant, and In time
having found his true work, he may
settle down as II specialist.
