single salient sentence, uttered in hi
famous address at Buffalo in Septem
Der, 1901, President Mckinley de
scrihed the object and the result o
expositions.
A modern universal exposition is
collection of the wisdom and achieve
ments of the world, for the inspection
of the world, for the study Of its ex
perts, by which they may make com
parsons and deduction and develop
plans for future improvements and
progress. Such a universal exposition
might well be called an encyclopedia
of society. 1t constitutes a classified,
compact, indexed compendium of the
achievements and ideas of society il
all phases of its activity, extending to
the most material as well as the most
refined. 1t offers illustrations cover
ing the full field of social performance,
from the production of the shoes on
our feet and the pavement beneath
them to a presentation of the rarest
and most delicate creations of the
brains and hands Of men in what are
called the fine arts of civilization.
The Universal Exposition in st. Lou
is in 1904 will be such a social ency-
%clopedia in the most comprehensive
and accurate sense. 1t will give to the
world in revised and complete details
"a living picture Of the artistic and in
nJ1Strlll InpnInnJ,tnpf at Sy-htaI p1np-
lind has arrived" and will actually
provide ga new starting point from
which all men may direct future exer-
tons" 1t will present for the inspec-
ton of specialists in all lines Of indus
trial and social endeavur and for the
public an assembly of the best which
the world has done and has to show in
industry, art and science, and, what
is very important, it will offer these
achievements of society, these trophies
OF civilization, in a highly selected, ac-
curately classified array.
