JONES is QUALIFIED

Centralla, WASH, Oct. IA, 1914
To Whom 1t May Concern:
1t gives me pleasure to state that
l have personally known Professor
A. C. Jones for more than twenty-five
years. l first knew him as a college
professor apd later as president of
Vashon College.
Mr.. Jones has been leading school
man for many years. had a good
opportunity to know him and his work
since was County Superintendent of
the county in which the College is To-
Gated. For several years the School
Board Of the district in which Vashon
College is located placed the pupils
under the charge of President Jones.
1 can conscientiously say that these
pupils while under his charge were
handled in a modern and progressive
manner. Mr.. Jones is not only a
scholar and teacher of ripe and sue
cessful experience but he is a man of
broad culture and wide business ex-
perience. In my opinion he would
make an ideal County School Super
intendent.
Very truly,
(SignedJ ]. M. LAYHUE,

the Panama-Pacifc international ex-
position and who is as widely known
abroad as in America. Some one
asked Dr.. Skiff what was his ideal
for great worlds exposition.
"One," ne replied, that would so
present the worlds progress that If
all else N the world but the exposi-
tion were destroyed, what is most
worth while could be reconstructed
from the exhibits" The exposition
stands not alone on & commercial
foundation, but is undertaken for it's
great ethical and educational infiu-
ence.
The conventions and congresses TO
meet during the exposition period
vii Indeed have q wide EDUCATIONAL
influence. One Of the most inter
estin9 conventions will be the Inter
national Engineering congress. The
engineers of the Pacific coast have
already raised large sum to finance
the congress and the FIVE great ma
tional engineering bodies comprising
the congress have also guaranteed TO
aid in defraying the expenses Of the
meeting. An exhaustive discussion
will be given to the construction Of
the Panama canal, among other sub
jects, and the proceedings OF the con-
gress will be published in standard
lied form. Colonel George W Geo

dark shadows at night upon the ex-
position grounds. The superb colon
nades and peristyles and monu-
mental groups of statuary will stand
out as clearly at night as if by day.
Of special interest to thousands Of
visitors will be the great live stock
show to be held throughout the
period of the exposition. Entries are
being made from all parts Of the
world, not only for the live stock
show, but for a series of great har-
ness races, for both of which events
premiums and prizes aggregating
more than sne-haf million dollars
are offered.
The preparation for the display Of
the worlds exhibits is far advanced.
More than sixty thousand of the
worlds leading exhibitors will have
their exhibits installed in the vast
exhibit halls when the exposition
opens. Many of the exhibits will be
exceptionally notable, some of the
individual exhibits representing an
investment of S250,000 to S350,OOO
and sometimes of an even greater
amount. Whenever practicable, the
exhibits such as hose of machinery,
etc, will be shown in action to
illustrate the method of operation.
The care with which the exhibits
have been selected may be inferred
from a reply made by DR.. Frederick
]. V. Skif, of the Field Columbian
Museum, who is director-m-chief of

be covered with glass and when the
exposition opens colored searchlights
playing upon the glass from within
will, at night, transform the giant
globe into a vast sphere of changing
color, sparkling, iridescent and mys-
teal
The yacht and motorboat races
during the exposition will interest
thousands. Both President Woodrow
Wilson and King George of England
have offered cups in the yacht races
for the prize yacht winning the
twelve-meter class.
Perhaps the most interesting of
the motOrboat contests will be a
motorboat race for the cruiser type
over a distance of approximately six
thousand miles. The motorboats will
start from New York in September,
1915, proceeding south along the At
lantic seaboard, thence through the
Panama canal and from that point
north along the Pacific seaboard to
the finishing line off the Panama
Pacific International exposition yacht
harbor.
Thousands of men are now at work
upon the grounds and the exhibit
palaces have arisen almost as if by
magic. When completed the lofty
spires, domes, towers AID minarets
of the huge buildings will rise even
higher than those shown in the
photograph, ascending to heights of
100, 1S6, 80, $40 and 4S5 feet. The

Among other important assem-
bIages there will be the international
Council of Nurses, to meet in San
Francisco during the latter part of
May next year. Five thousand
nurses from fifteen nations are ex-
pected to participate in this gather
ing; delegates from more than TWEEN
ty-f1ve nations interested In grape
culture will attend the international
Congress Of Viticulture, TO be held IN
June, 1915; the leading electrical eX-
perts of the world will meet IN the
International Electrical congress In
September, while a Worlds Petro-
leum congress, the first ever held,
will meet In the fail of next year;
thirty-four American and three
European organizations concerned
with the marketing, production and
distribution Of petroleum will take
part IN this congress. The Interna-
tional Potato congress viii deal with
the production and distribution and
marketing Of the potato. One Of the
most interesting Of the agricultural
conventions will be that of the Ma
tional Topnotch Farmers club, an
organization Of corn growers, with
headquarters IN Springfield, Illinois;
the club consists of corn growers
who have established a record IN pro-
ducing at least one hundred bushels
of corn to the acre; the president Of
the organization is Dir. w. L. Dunson
of Alexander City, Alabama, VINO
earned the presidency by growing
232.7 bushels of corn on an acre Of
ground. When this record is super
ceded, the grower raising the most
corn on an acre will automatically
become president.
Plans are under way to assist the
delegates IN gathering information
in the specialized lines in which they
are most interested. The American
Breeders association, for example,
has been invited to send a committee
of its members to San Francisco in
advance Of the convention to list
everything Of greatest value at the

exposition dealing with the subject
Of cattle breeding. Pamphlets tell
ing how and where TO find these ex-
hibits will be mailed to the members
before they start for San Francisco.
Indeed, in all conventions the ex-
hibits will comprise useful auxiliaries
10 the reports and addresses upon
the various sub iects.
AL features Of the exposition are
progressing evenly and happily. To-
day the visitor to the scene Of the
celebration to which America has in
vited the world as her guests, may
gain an idea of the exposition as it
will appear when the exhibits Of the
world are installed in its spacious
halls and hundreds of thousands Of
rare trees, plants and shrubs,
brought from far corners of the
globe, have transformed the grounds
into a senli-trOpical paradise and
when from the Golden Gate the
traveller beholds the vast exposition
city rising TO great heights against
the walls of the encircling smphi-
theater Of the hills Of San Francisco.

gates will assemble, have voted to
meet in San Francisco in 1915. It is
expected that fully 500 conventions
will have decided to meet in San
Francisco by the time the great cele-
bration opens. The delegates to
these assemblages will come from
every portion of the globe and lead
ers> in art, science, industry and in
the teaching of ethical propaganda
will present in standardized form the
results of the worlds best effort in
recent years.
Construction upon the exposition
early broke all records in exposition
building, giving assurance to the
promise made by President Charles
c. Moore, more than two years ago,
that the exposition would swing open
its gates upon fully perfected spec
tacls. At this writing many of the
huge exhibit palaces are practically
completed and all will be finished
eight months before the opening of
the exposition.
Preparations for the adornment of
the huge exhibit palaces and the
courts have kept pace with construc-
ton. The works of a number of
Americas most notable sculptors and
out the high promise for their beauty
and originality made early in the
history of the exposition. The land
scaping, which will be perfected to a
far greater extent than has been
,possible at any former universal eX-
position, is far advanced. Hundreds
of thousands of rare shrubs and
trees, including five hundred giant
tIee ferns from Australia, have
reached San Francisco to be set upon
the grounds.
Before the site, which faces north
on San Francisco harbor just inside
the Golden Gate, extending almost
three miles east and west, there has
been created a marvellous esplanade,
the Marina villa gardens). This is
a great broad stretch of lawn, dotted
with cypress and eucalyptus, more
than four hundred feet in width and
one mile in length. 1t forms the
frame of the main northern facade
of the exhibit palaces along the
shores OF San Francisco harbor, the
surprising frontage that will be first
seen by visitors who reach the eX-
position city by water and enter San
Francisco bay through the Golden
Gate. In the Marina, with its vast
ASISn VI GROUNDS ana JerraCSSs
fountains will play and huge groups
OF statuary be set at intervals. Here
during the exposition thousands will
gather by day to view the assembled
fwarships of the nations, the birdmen
of the world in mimic contests with
the warcraft, the motorboat races.
yacht races and all sorts of
aquatic sports. Aviators of fifteen
nations have already signifed their
intention of entering the round-the-
world aeroplane race for which a
prize of S15O,000 is offered to the
daring birdman who actually com
pletes the circuit of the globe, while
lesser prizes will be awarded avi-
ators completing different legs of the
