SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s.-Liberty Bell Day will be observed ip all the public schools of this city on Friday, October H1th. On that day petitions signed by sooOo, school children will be collected by the California Ggays, and brought to the Exposition headquarters for transahissiOn to the mayor and city council of the city of Philadelphia. Tbess petitions will request that they parmts the Liberty Bell, SO dear to the hearts os our people, to be transported to sau Francisco Hnder proper escort and by special train, for exhibition as the Panama-Raci&c international hx. position in 19la
 Whsn Supervisor Henry Payot was member of the Board of Educatbonr he inauanrate@ campaign to bring the liberty Bell TO this city in 1915 by hn- trod resolutions calling upon the chiidren to save their nickebs and dimes for transporting the bell to San Francisco.
 His plan met witb enthusiastic re- sponse, but was never put into action because the Southern Pacific railway company generously agreed to srans- port the bell across the continent free oe charge. This offer was accepted by the Board o2 Education and by the Board os Directors of the Panama-Pa- cisc International Exposition.
 President Charles c. Moore, while sn the Hast last January, visited Phila- delphia and interested the officials of that city in the plan to have the Liberty bell brought to the Exposition.
 When Memorable James K Tener, Governor of Pennsylvania, came hsFe for the purpose of selecting a site for Pennsylvania's State building at the Exposition, he suggested that 9 pe- tition be sent to the Philadelphia otsc- ials requesting the transportation of the Liberty bell to the 1915 Universal Exposition. He thought that the pe- tition should be signed by every school child tn the State of Washington, and also stated that As would use his best efforts to, bring aboat the sending of the bell se the coming Worlds Fair.
 As soon as the petitions are printed they gre to be sent to every County Su- periatendent in the State, with the re- quest Shat they be signed by the pupils of all the schools.
 As soon as the State wide campaign is completed, thers is every possibility that petitions will be sent in to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho. MontaEa and Arizona, for signing by the school chilaren of those states.
 When the campaign for bringing the BeIB to this city was iuaugurated last January, hundreds of officials in the states named wrote the Exposition tbat they would do. their share to aid in se- curing the relic aor 1915 All the states mentioned are anxious to have the Aib- erty bell brought to this city over the Northern roate and st the close of the Exposition 10 have it returned to PbN- adelphia along the Southern SoDte.
