The following is the scope of the
work required to make a creditable
exhibit from New Mexico in the Educa-
tional building, as outlined by Mr..
Porterfield, which will be followed in
detail BY the educational committee:
The educational interests of New
Mexico have 405 square feet of floor
space assigned in the educational
building at the St. Louis exposition
This space fronts q feet on one of the
main aisles and is fifteen feet deep.
The walls around this enclosure, with
perhaps one partition will be avail
able for exhibit purposes. These walls
will be fitted with cabinets three feet
in width and about five and one-half
feet high One cabinet and the space
The cabinets consist of winged
frames admitting cards 22x28 inches
upon which fiat work may be exhibit
ed Underneath these winged frames
is desk or counter containing doors
and shelf space. These counters may
be used for exhibiting bound work.
Above the cabinets the space may be
utilized for exhibiting manual train
ing specimens, clay work, ETC., which
should be mounted on similar cards
and made ready for handling.
1t is designed that each school and
Institution shall use at least one unit
of space over which should be placed
placard giving the name of the
school
The cardboards for mounting the
work will be supplied by the Worlds
Fair commission and sent to each
school at an early date. The long di-
of these cards is vertical, only
one side of the card is to be used.
Drawings or papers may be 11x15'inch-
es, two drawings placed horizontally.
or four drawings 9x12 inches placed
vertically, or six drawings 6x9 inches
placed horizontal or nine drawings

A margin of not less than IA inch
es should be left on each mount and
the drawings should be pasted to one

to fasten the mounts.

that the school authorities /
making the exhibits SHAH provide the q
pupils with material The particular q
form which shall be used in the prep \
aration of papers is to be left to the r
taste Of each school making the ex-
hibit. 1t is suggested that written e
work, when there is a considerable +
amount, should be bound into volume i
to be exhibited from the counter.
The following classification and ma Z
terial is suggested from which the
school may select tool work. clay Q
work, photographs of the school build
ings and of the interior, showing decor U
ations; school libraries, apparatus, q
ETC., manuscripts Of pupils arranged =
