The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-01-21
SHINE AT ST. LOUIS
SCHOOLS EXPECT
To DO
GREAT EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
Will BE the Most Systematic Display
of Educational Products Ever
KnOwn-PIans Are
Complete.

Minnesota's educational exhibit at Buff
falo was the envy of sister states. Min
nesota has always stood close to the top
at all educational expoSitions. With the
beginning of 1902 educators all over the
country are looking forward to the st.
Louis exposition with great hope, and
Minnesota educators are giving the sub
ject the consideration as it deserves.
The school children are being reminded
thus early that their work this year
will be exhibited at the great Louisiana
Purchase exposition. The educational
exhibition at the ST. Louis fair will
eclipse all others ever held. Minnesota
will be there and expects to add to
the laurels won at New Orleans, Chica-
go, Paris and Buffalo. while the plans
for the exhibition are young as yet, and
the hard work remains to be done, it is
safe to say that Minnesota will be rep
resented at st. Louis by an educational
exhibit that is worthy of this great state.
Whenever Minnesota has participated in
an exhibition of school work, other states
have always gladly rendered their tribute
to our excellent showing. 1t is unneces-
Sary to say that Minnesota will hold her
end up well at St. LOUIS says State
superintendent Olsen. These sentiments
are echoed by %igh School Inspector
George B. Alton, Graded School Inspector
Rankin, Dr. Kiehle, DIR. Cloyd and others
interested in the work.
Mr.. Howard J. Rogers, of the depart
ment of public instruction of New York
state was appointed chief of the depart
ment of education for the st. Louis ex-
position because Of his record in con-
nection with the educational exhibits at
the Columbian and Paris eXpositions.
At the latter exposition he secured more
awards for the United States than were
granted any other nation in education,
except France, the home nation. Presi-
dent Green of the National Educational
association, which meets in Minneapolis
in July, has appointed a committee of
distinguished educators, representing all
branches of education as follows:
Dr. William T. Harris, United States
commissioner of education, chairman;
Edwin A. Alderman, Nicholas, Murray
Dougherty, Andrew S. Draper Daniel

The advance circulars now being sent
out say:
The great scale on which the exposition
is planned renders it possible for the
first time in the history of expositions
to provide a separate building for the
educational exhibits, and to collect under
one roof a comparative display of edu-
cational systems and educational agen-
cies from all the leading nations of the
world.
Not yet at great international ex-
position has there been complete and
comprehensive display of all the educa-
tional agencies of the countries fora-
most in education. In Paris, 1889, the only
complete exhibit was that of the French
schools themselves In Chicago, 1893, al
though a great advance was made on
other eXpositions, there was lacking
satisfactory participation on the part Of
England and France, and an unsatisfac-
tory exhibit from the states in this coun-
try. The exposition held last year in
Paris was a distinct advance in arrange
ment and completeness over any other
exposition ever held, but was unfortu-
nate in not securing an educational ex-
hibit of any kind from Germany. It.
therefore, remains for ST. Louis to fix
the highest record for educational ex-
hibits. and the intense interest taken in
the developments of industrial education
at this period of the worlds history, to-
gether with the warm support Of the
educational department on the part Of the
