Dor and some expense but no one
can doubt their value. The worlds
fair at Chicago gave an impulse to
every line of trade and invention, art
took new shape, natural and civic
ideals grew apace, and in one little
year we seemed to span the life of a
generation. Later exhibitions at Buff
falo, st. Louis and Portland have
added new strength and glory to the
worlS-of man, and a larger outlook to
the nation. In ths same sense of
value differing only i'll size are our
