congress of representatives from
scores of countries, typical of the least

toned by the exposition committee are
carried out in full, both hemispheres
will be ransacked for representatives
of almost every people under the sun
There will be groups from antarcuc
lands. never before represented at any
exposition, as well as delegations from
the frozen north; others will be brought
from such out of the way corners of the
earth as Tibet. the Himalayan from
tiers. Patagonia and the heart OF
Africa. while special efforts will be
made to secure representation of the in
habitants of all the islands OF the Ia
cifc
Not only will the peoples of these
countries be represented, but so far as
possible they will be shown in the sur
roundings of their own lands and llV-
ing according to their own customs
Efforts will be made, too, to include in
this exhibit all manner of interesting
relics and implements from every part
of the world, having bearing on the
various races and of humanity in gen
eral.
EXHIBIT OF INDIAN RELICS
Miss Addie L. Ballou of this city has
taken deep interest in one feature OF
this proposed plan, and has written the
exposition committee letter suggest
ing a special exhibit of native Indian
relics covering the period from state
OF barbarism TO the present state OF
culture and organization. Miss Bal
lou has written the committee that she
is on intimate terms with Miss Estelle
Reel, national superintendent of In
dian schools, and is sure the latter
would be glad to give her aid in pro-
noting such an exhibit.
