Illuminated panels and photographs on lllu-
minated glass plates, showing prominent
State educators and various scenes OF actual
school work Is the feature Of the Educational
Building. Within Il every phase OF our great
public and private systems OF education are
thoroughly and attractively exhibited. In
the State Section elegantly leather bound vol
umes and portfolios Of written work, glass
cases Of kindergarten and manual training
school work, drawings and paintings are
shown In great quantity and Of the highest
quality. In this section the latest method
OF showing actual school work by daylight
moving pictures Is presented by seven Of
the celebrated Biogen machines. The nov
Ing pictures Of these machines were made at
large cost In Missouri schools by an expert
from New York, and are pronounced by the
American MICROSCOPE x Biograph Company
Of New York, to be the best Of the kind
ever made, and ones that will cause a sensa-
ton among the educators Of the country.
Among the many Interesting exhibits In
the State University Section will be shown
the original monument and tablet erected
over the remains Of Thomas jefferson. An
other striking features Of this exhibit Is the
complete detail model Of the University and
Campus. 1t Is said to be the finest specimen
OF such work on exhibition at the Fair, and
an Inspection OF It will serve to Impress upon
me world the greatness Of our State Uni
I'm the Social Economy Section our ex-

As we pass over the lagoon to the Pal
We OF Mines and Metallurgy, we see to our
iett the Palace Of Manufactures, in which
Is shown the products Of the great and ran
Idly Increasing manufacturing plants Of the
state Under the rules Of the Exposition
company all such exhibits must be made In
lne name OF the manufacturing person,
company or corporation for that reason the
state could not make such exhibit, but the
visitor VIII ind that Mlssouri's wide-awake
and progressive manufacturers have installed
magnificent exhibits, and especially Is this
true Of st. Louis, the fourth manufacturing
city OF the United States. The same thing
Is true OF the Missouri exhibits in the
transportation Building, Varied Industries
Building, Manufactures Building, Liberal
Arts building, Machinery Building, Elec-
triclty Building and the Arts Building. In
each OF these palaces Individual Missourlans
and Missouri companies or CORPORATIONS are
making superb exhibits in number and char

But now we have reached the south en-
trance or the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy,
where Missouris Mineral Exhibit Is strik-
ingly installed on S,400 square feet of floor
at a cost OF ~SI5,O0O.O0. This extensive and
comprehensive exhibit Of our mineral re-
sources Is conclusive of the fact that Mis-.
souri, Is a mining State Of great magnitude,
and tends TO make good the assertion that
ner mines have produced over $780, 00, 900. 90
IN mineral wealth. Our exhibit Is the largest
OF any state or foreign country, and In its
arrangement and completeness Is without a
peer. VI course we lead the world In our

q single exception show and produce more

turing purposes Is shown in one-half the
+ counties OF the State, and the great Iron
