 EXHIBIT ID BE
 GREATEST EVER
Mrs. W. W. McNeff, Super intendent of the Depart ment, Announces Broad enlng of Scope Judges of Reputation

What was said of the educational exhibit at the Arizona state fair last year, always one of the most import this year to be no exception to the rule, except that it is to be greater, more comprehensive and more interesting than ever before," will apply in the fullest measure to that being prepared for the 1914 showing. It will be the composite creation of a master mind, rlpened With years of experience and successes. the attainment of an am bition cherished through all the years that Mrs. w. w. McNeff has held the superintcndency of the educational de- partment of the great annual eXposi tion.
 Educators throughout the country have come to recognize in Mrs. Me Neff one of the ableSt directors of edu- cational exhibits. Her successful en- gineering of the educational depart ment at Arizona state fairs has at tracted favorable attention not alone to the exhibits but to the moving spirit She has a keen perception, not only of
 
 the true value of each until intended to make the composite. Wide reading and genuine the-year- round interest in the work has fitted her admirably for the post so that today an Arizona state fair educational exhibit would be in complete without her presence and di- rection
 The department under Mrs. McNeff will this year present an increased and broadened scope. Particularly in the case of the exhibits of the Indian schools. will this be true. The Indian department will be given more space than usual and the variety of the art icles exhibited will be materially in creased. The Pimas and Sacatons promise to have one of the most unique exhibits of handicraft of the entire de- partment The Phoenix Indian school will present for the first public eXhi- bition, the same exhibit the school will | make at the 1915 eXpositions. As was the case last year when fam ous educators from the east were at tracted here by the teachers institute, | there will be some of the best material in the United States in Phoenix during 1 fair week from which to select the | judges of the various individual exhib- | it's. The prizes this year will be awarded to individual exhibits, school | exhibits not entered with the eXpecta- tion of winning prizes for the schools. ! The name of the individual exhibitor will be placed in an envelope attacked | to the article exhibited, so that the | judges in making awards will be abso- lutely unaware of the identity of the | exhibitor or the school which they are attending
 Speaking of the educational exhibit | planned for this year, Mrs. McNeff said yesterday:
 An education exhibit showing the work of the pupils from the University of Arizona, the nOrmals, the high schools and the private institutions. | has been placed in the department building at the fair grounds for the l past nine years and those who have watched it grow year by year are proud | indeed of the results.
 With the raising of the standard of work done in our schools, came the better, more systematic exhibits | to the department at the fair, until 1 today our exhibit calls forth words of praise from the best educators of the United States who come to give lectures during our State Teachers association.
 Last year we were fortunate in having as one of our judges Dr. A. F. Winship, of Boston, editor of the Journal of Education.
 Dr. Winship many times expressed his appreciation of what Arizona is doing in her schools, saying our work is "equal to the best" and bet | ter than many
