section was ably represented by the Po-
land China herds Of Gerlach & Barke of
Mankato and Glasier of St. James and
the Chester White herd of Welcome &
Johnson Of Sleepy Eye.
Altho all the exhibits coming under the
several heads of Agriculture and Stock
Breeding are of great interest, the things
that held the attention of the hundred
thousand visitors the first day OF the
Fair Especially the women) were the ex-
hibits in the Woman's Building OF the
various and numerous industries, or rath-
er the products of these industries, that
are carried on in the several State lnsti-
tutions for the Insane, for the Deaf and
Dumb, for the blind, for crippled
children, the Reformatory, the School
for the Predetermined, and last but not
least, The Training Schools for Boys and
Girls situated at Red Wing and Sank
Centre, respectively. The accomplish
ments of these apparently hampered
State wards is almost unbelievable, but,
in Justice, special mention must be
made of the work done by the boys and
girls in the State Training Institutions.
The Training Schools appear to fore
shadow the practical and industrial
in q
date future, take place in the Public
School System.
The boys in the Training School at
Redwing, according to the exhibits
shown at the Fair, are taught practi-
cal Farming, Gardening, Cooking,
Laundering, Tailoring, Printing, Black
smithing, Carpentering, and Shoe
making, while the girls, at Sank Center,
are being given an equally thoro educa-
ton in Cooking, Baking, Sewing, Draw
ing, Crocheting, Embroidery and plain
home economy. According to the sys-
TEN adopted by these Schools they are
to a large extent self-supporting, the
girls earning and making most of their
clothing as we'll as raising their own
garden stuff. Altho these institutions
represent recent innovation in the edu-
cational system of the State they have
already been irrefutably proved to be
phenomenal success, the truth of which
is fully verified by the practical work
shown and information given at the Fair.
The School for boys at Redwing, at the
present time, has two hundred and
fifty inmates, while the girls School
at Sank Center has one-hundred and
ninety-fve.
Another feature of interest in the
Woman's Building and which drew
wide attention was the Baby Show.
This new thing of social interest is, We
hope, the nucleus of an industry or
rather a science where human babies
will be bred and raised with the same
precision and purpose as characterizes
the breeding of the dumb animals.
Man has in the past been so absorbed
with the physical Improvement Of his
dumb helpers that he has to a large
extent failed to cultivate the greater
possibilities of his more intelligent
assistants, the boy and girl beside him.
One dominant feature of the baby
show which drew the attention of the
writer was DR.. Carl Scherer, New
Ulm product and former resident, COM
fortably pottering around amongst the
crop Of babies in the capacity of one of
the judges.
The other features of this years Fair
are many and elaborate and are beyond
the limits and possibilities of concise
and brief description. Such features
as the poultry show, Automobile exhi-
bits, the Horse Show and Races, GER
tain phases of the War of the Nations
reproduced, Stunts with an aeroplane
and myriad others too numerous to
mention, can only be appreciated by
personally mingling with the thronging
thousands that prove their worth and
make them worth while.
