The St. Louis Expedition


The st. Louis Exposition
1t is most earnestly desired that at
the coming exposition at st. Louis
South Dakota will be able to make a
creditable exhibit OF her school work.
1t is hoped that both city and dis
trict schools will unite in the pre-
paration OF such a display as
will be representative Of their efforts.
The time for its preparation Is all
too limited, and every teacher in the
county should at ono give the
matter her attention and see that
the work is begun.
TIE following circulac letter has
been issued by the commission in
charge Of the South Dakota exhibit.
This letter is here published at the
request of Supt. Nash, for the guidance
of teachers in directing the work Of
their pupils.
EXHIBIT REGULATIONS
Flat exhibits-charts, drawings,
photos, etc.,-should be shown in wall
frames or wall cabinets. For the
latter, the standard dimensions of the
cards will be 22x28 inches, the latter
dimensions being vertical. 1t is re-
commended that all cardboard used
for this purpose be of court gray
color.
The use of wall cabinets for COM
Irlete exhibits is also recommended,
as the arrangement of all material is
thus on the ''eye line and is much
more readily observed than when
spread over the same amount of flat
wall. A further advantage is that a
system Of drawing, language study,
nature work, ETC., can be developed
continuously In n or more Of these
Icabinets, thus avoiding both the
laborous methods of turning over the
pages Of a book or the exhaustive
process OF tracing it along an extend
ed wall.
Photographs for albums or wall
cabinets should be either 8x10 inches
or 11xl4 inches, and should be mount,
ed directly on the full sized cardboard
