For Public Inspection.
The entire lower floor will be
thrown open to those who desire to at
tend the dedication. In doing this it
is believed that sufficient room will be
made to accommodate all who desire
10 attend. The rooms which will be
included are the gymnasium, reading
room, pool and billiard section, waiting
and social rooms and the large corri-
dor. 1t is probable that temporary
benches will have to be placed to ac-
commodate those in attendance. 1t
has not been decided where to place
the speakers in order that all may be
heard, but 1t is probable that these
will be in the corridor between the
gymnasium and the offices.
One of the most interesting features
the scripture lesson by Rev. Howard.
The testament from which he will read
the scripture was one given Mr.. A. D.
Craig of this city. by Sir George Will
iiams, the Englishman, who was the
founder of the Young Mems Christian
association. Mr.. Craig was the Indiana
delegate to the international conven-
tion meeting in London several years
ago. Sir George marked in blue pen
ell the sections of the scripture which
are to be read tomorrow and announc-
ed that they were to belong to Indiana
boys.
The program is the best that could
be arranged and Secretary George l..
Goodwin, who had entire charge. has
been commended for his excellent Sc
lections. One of the features of the
days program not included in the
dedioatory exercise is the morning
services in the churches. Such SER
vices will be observed in all the evan
gelical churches.
Tomorrow marks the opening of a
week of festivities connected with the
dedication. The last exercise will be
held on Friday evening of next week
On other evenings of the week there
