Boston Educational Pageant
Planned by Salt Lake Woman.

The many friends and admirers OF
Mrs. c. l.. Dallln. wife of the Utah
sculptor, will be Interested in the fol-
lowing account of beautiful educa
uonal pageant, taking place this month
in Boston, and the design of which was
entrusted 10 her artistic taste. The
article appeared in the Boston Trans
cript, and give vivid picture of feat
ures of the notable affair:

terry of the east. Out on the sand
wastes at the edge of the city we have
this privilege, on the acres of great
expectations, among the dump heaps
where little smokes are always curling
up, and torn papers flying in the air,
and where the s:'I strikes dazzlingly
upon bits OF tin. In that mining re-
gion where those whom the world has
forgotten come to prod and dig among

structures going up, most of them de.

old lines of discipline and opportunity.
THE DAWNING CONCEPTION.
The new Boston Normal school has
courtyard, and the idea OF the pageant
of education, which forms the third ano
final part in the festival. which in
cludes a reception to the alumnae and
an inspection of the building, goes back
to the possibilities of that green paral-
telegram for its source.
When last summer Mrs, Cyrus Dallin,
the sculptor's wife. and herself MEM
Der of the Boston Authors club, was
asked by the chairman OF the festival
committee to give a touch of grace
TO the occasion, the possibilities OF this
courtyard appealed to her magma
tion. At first she saw the figures of
Puvis de Chavannes' Sorbonne frcscoes
pass across 1t as breathing realities,
then she remembered that they woulG

Of irreproachabe drapery She thought
