Industrial Exposition
 For New England

New England's great Educational and Industrial Exposition opened Mon- day at Mechanics Building, Boston, with record breaking attendance. No exposition held in New England has ever attracted such widespread attention and interest as this one, and no other ever promised so much, and so fully fulfilled its promise to in- terest old and young, and arouse en- thusiasm in every day work and oc- equations, and their possibilities.
 This is due to the character and va riety of the exhibit and the opportun- ity opened to the public to see the numberless processes and manufactur- ing methods which are part of our modern industrial warld.
 No one who is interested in New England can visit the Mechanics Build ing once, without wanting to go again. No can go there without realizing how much this exposition will mean to New England'sl Industries and enterprises and every one who visits there, will come away with clear idea of New England S.. importance in the commer- cial and industrial world.
 Every commodity of every day life is to be seen at this exposition; people with widely different interests meet here on a common ground to study and compare, and benefit from the various displays. This was proven by the character, and enthusiasm of the crowds that went from exhibit to many visitors, whose comments and expressions of appreciation showed that the success of this exposition is assured from the beginning
 IF No exposition has ever been so comprehensive, covering and illustrat- ing all the things of vital importance to the manufacturing and industrial the making of finished goods from raw material is to be seen. Wool taken from live sheep and turned into a finished dress almost while you wait. Here, also, in another de- partment finished shoe of highest raw leather. Over in another sec tion a rubber company make our ev- cry day rubber articles, every pro- cess open for inspection. The wis itors next turn from these manufac- turing methods to beautiful displays of the trade exhibitors. A
 The WOman's department shows ey- erything that a woman could wish for, in it's most attractive form. The woolen company shows finely finish ed, and many colored varieties Of woolen cloth, and the results of the WOlhO HI liiO AOuS OSCoPcSeAOAAS OA every day life were all given the at tention and intereM Hue them.
 The success of the Educational de- partment of the exposition has ex- ceeded even the expectations of the committee which had it in charge. Over twenty schools are represented, among them business schools, auto and aero, and the trade and indus trial schools. This department takes a large space on the second floor. Near it is an art exhibition that would not be out of place in an Art Museum. This department justifies the faithful work and thought given to it by the educational com mittee of the Exposition. E
 The Exposition as a whole is the broadest, most enjoyable, and educa- tional movement that has ever been held in New England. and no -one who is interested in New England's present or future progress can af- ford to miss it.
 Chester l. Campbell, the General Manager, has supplied fitting set ting for the various exhibits, and the music supplied in Grand Hall by the American Band, and in the Exhibition Hall by Edna Frances Simmons were excellent features in connection with a very wonderful exhibition of New ,England's various industries.
 ! Many reduced rate excursions will be run during the month by all the roads, due notice of which will be given.
