TO STUDY THE FAIR.
Excellent Opportunities For Public

In eodies-SpeeiaI Rates
to Be Arranged.


reasonable radius of st. Louis will have
opportunities in connection with the
Worlds Fair which never before have
been offered by any exposition. AS this
Exposition is to be distinctively educa-
t1onal in all its departments, special at
tention has been paid by the manage
ment to the development of the study
idea in connection with the Fair.
The correspondence of the officials
shows that the teachers or directors Of
many public schools in Missouri and
other states not greatly distant from
the Exposition are desirous Of making
arrangements to bring their pupils in
bodies to the Fair in order that the
children may pass few days in study
ing the features Of the great spectacle
for their own intellectual benefit.
Already number of such trips have
been planned, those in charge Of each
school making arrangements with the
railroads for special transportation
rates and securing hotel or boarding
house accommodations In St. Louis, not
too far from the fair grounds, at re-
duces prices. There is every probability
that during the summer vacation, and
also in the spring and fall, there will
be numerous excursions to st. Louis Of
school children who will attend the Ex-
position in charge Of their teachers and
give particular attention to the fea-
lures which are best calculated to aid
them in mental development.
Teachers as well pupils cannot fail
to derive great benefit from a study of
the Exposition. In the Palace of Edu-
cation will be arranged an enormous
mass Of material collected from the
schools of every state and nation, scien-
t1fically classified and showing an in.
valuable comparative exhibit of the
work Of school children the world over;
also there will be vast amount Of
material serving to show the best meth
DDS of teaching, sanitation Of school.
rooms and other things of interest in
this connection.
Special facilities are to be provided
at the Exposition for the comfort and
convenience Of such visiting bodies Of
teachers and pupils. Jefferson Guards
or other competent guides will be de-
tailed to pilot the parties through the
grounds and buildings, pointing out the
objects Of greatest interest to the chill
dren. From time to time there will be
lectures along educational lines.
But the entire Exposition is to be q
vast picture Of universal industry, and
with its many marvellous machines in
motion, its factories and mines IN oper-
alton, and its thorough exposition of
the processes Of producing finished arti-
cles from the raw material, 1t Will fur.
nish object lessons to both teacher and
pupil which will be entertaining as
we'll as highly instructive. The child's
natural interest In seeing how things
work will be one of the greatest aids
toward the acquisition Of knowledge.
1t is safe to assert that there will be
thousands Of children at the Worlds
Fair who will learn more in one days
observation Of the great moving pano-
rama than they could imbibe from a
whole seasons teaching through the
medium of text books.
Suppose, for instance, that a teacher
lesires to give his pupils information
as to the products Of the various states
Of the Union. A walk along the Pla-
teau Of States, where the state build
ings are located, suggests itself. In
each Of these handsome buildings the
children will be able to gain informa-
ton which might require months to OBJ
tain in any other way. Further infor-
nation may be acquired by visiting the
exhibit palaces and studying the dis
plays Of the products Of the states that
will be found therein.
If it is desired that the children learn
something about the actual workings of
mines, trip through the great mining
gulch on the Exposition Grounds will
furnish the information. Here, the pu-
pills may see. gold, silver, copper, lead
and coal mines in operation, all the
processes Of taking out and reducing
the ores being shown,
A considerable knowledge Of history
and a taste for historical reading may
be impaired to the school children BY
