Educationai charaeteristies.

Educational Characteristics.
There is one phase Of the Iowa fairs
which always attracts attention quite
az much as the immensely Of the live
stock and implement exhibits. That is
the fact that the educational character
of the fair is never lost sight Of nor
neglected. The disposition in some
places is for converting the fairs into
big amusement places purely for the
delight Of the crowds. 1t is true that
racing and vaudeville and fireworks
and spectacular stunts are req uired;
but in Iowa these have never been per-
mitted to overshadow the other things.
The prominence given to the Iowa
State College and its work is Indicative
Of what is done all the time. The col
lege has a larger building devoted
wholly to its work. 1t is in charge Of
the college boys and members Of the
faculty. In this is shown a great deal
Of what Is being done for agriculture
and domestic science at Ames. There
are lectures and demonstrations and
all sorts of interesting things. In the
exposition building Is the section de-
voted to the public schools of Iowa, a
feature that is growing from year to
year and is valuable as an educational
factor.
Dairying and Horticulture.
In the dairy and horticultural de-
partments and in agriculture the work
is all along the line oe giving the peo-
pie instruction and there is no doubt
that this has been successful The
stock judging pavlions are constant
schools Of instruction. The poultry
building is thronged by people who ask
questions.
4 decidedly interesting educational
exhibit is that Of the L. s. navy which
has been installed here and consists of
a. number of models of battleships and
cruisers and samples Of naval equip
ment.
A blowing match is also on the
schedule and that is educational in
character. The music is to be for en-
tertainment, of course, but the people
who attend these concerts by big bands
indicate that they are also students of
good music.
Even the entertainment features
such as the flying machines and the
sheep dog demonstrations have their
educational value, and probably great
many Iowa people will here first learn
something about the art Of flying
The real first day of the fair is Sat-
urday, when the complete program
starts off on children's day.

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-1f the state
fair which formally opened yesterday
is a great success it will go far to-
ward maintaining confidence in COM
mercial and business circles in Iowa.
This is, at least, the view OF a num-
Der of business men of the state. Il
want to see the fair this year the big
gest and best OF all and the attend
ance beat all records said a Des
Moines man the other day. of the
attendance is large it will indicate that
the people of Iowa, and especially the
farmers, are confident Of the future
and in an optimistic frame of mind. It
will show that despite the unfavorable
season Iowa is all right. It will show
that the business men are having u
good season We all know that the
situation is, or at least has been for
some time, somewhat critical; and we
want something to reassure US"
Certainty so far as exhibitors and
concessionaries can do so the prepara-
tions for the fair have been all that
could be expected. 1t Is now up to the
visitors to do their part.
hiaraet for Booded Stock.
The fact that so many Of the big
livestock breeders come regularly to
Iowa and exhibit their animals, is fair
ly indicative Of the fact that Iowa con-
tinues to be fine market for blooded
stock. Practically all the big breeders
come here regularly. For one thing
the Iowa fair is first in the list Of the
big ones and in a way 1t gives the
cue to others. AS the judges place the
animals here so they will be placed in
other places. The influence Of blue
or red ribbon won at the Iowa fair on
the stock judges in rings elsewhere
counts for something, and a good many
judges hesitate to reverse the decis-
ions made in Iowa.
So, also, the implement exhibit in
Iowa leads all others, because Iowa
people have learned to come to the
fairs to see what Is best in the imple-
ment line The extent Of the imple-
ment and machinery exhibit shows the
appreciation of the Iowa fair outside
the state.
There can be little doubt that with
good weather the fair Will this year
quite equal any others in attendance
and success. AS a business barometer
it Is therefore likely to prove inspir-
