TO STUDY THE FAIR.
Excellent Opportunities For Public
Schools to Attend the Exposition
In 5odies-SpeciaI Rates
to Be Arranged.

The school children living within a
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-
tlonal 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 DESTROYS 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 a number of such trips have
peen planned, those in charge of each
school making arrangements with the
railroads for special TRANSPORTATION
rates and securing hotel or boarding
mouse 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 Elk
position In charge of their teachers and
give particular attention to the fen
lures which are best calculated to aid
them In mental development.
Teachers as well pupils cannot fan

cation will be arranged an enormous
mass of material collected from the
schools or every state and nation. scien-

special facilities are to be provided
at the Exposition for the comfort and
convenience of such visiting bodies of
teachers and pupils. Jefferson Guards
