The interesting thing TO me at the San francisco
exposition was the exhibit of the Alberta Consolidated
School 1t placed in the Palace of Education at the
very center of building, the meeting of the two
principal aises thru the building. This prominent posi-
ton it shares with other exhibits rural education
of which indicates the large place which rural educa
today occupies in educational thought and the appre
citation which educational leaders have of the excellent
work which being done by the school at Alberta The
friends of the school congratulated only
the excellent work which the school has done but also
the recognition which it has received
The Panama-Pacifc Exposition at San Francisco is
we'll worth going the continent to In the ten
days in San Francisco most of the time spent
Exposition, and did not begin to ALL in
fact only got general idea of exposition and the
things one might see if one had the time.
The buildings are built of a light brown stucco and
so have pleasing and restfu effect to the eye. They
are ymmetcay arranged around beautiful courts where
fountains play point of vantage adorned with
beautiful statuary. There is profusion of Towering
plants changed periodically to accord with
predetermined color scheme. In the various building
are gathered together exhibits from all the great indus
rries and most of smaller one tho it be admit
the business depression and the appears to
have had an effect the and the volume of
solely for automobiles is not used at all because there
was ample room for the large automobile exhibit in
the TRANSFORMATION building. Foreign exhibits also
very much curtaied This is not saying but that the
San Francisco Exposition is not great fair There is
more there than any can hope to
The attendance also is not large twas expected
that it would be at the time the exposition was planned
and all the other nations of world making it
their principal business to destroy another Still the
crowds plenty large enough for the sghtseers
fort. One can about with comfort and see the
hbits but if the crowd much larger could not
do this.
''The Zone'' or that portion of the Exposition de-
voted is by far the best that this feature
has been any exposition No money has been spared
to provide attractions that of the ordinary
interest. The panoramic view of the Panama Canal
gives one an accurate picture of this great engineer
ing feat every detail explained orally passes
around the The spectacular story of Creation
utilities all the latest appliances in scenic reproduction
and presents story of the first chapter of Genesis with
dignity mpressveness Captain Scotts journey from
London the South Pole is also represented in wonder
full moving panorama, and there many, many other
shows replete with excellent features
Along the Street of States and the Avenue Of the
Nations one sees many beautiful buildings, small
and some pretentious but all interesting if had
the visit them. The Canadian building, however
takes palm In it great panoramas of the woods
and streams forests fields and mountains cities and har

hbits of the lumber, minerals, fish, grains grass and
fruits produced the country and cannu pass thru the
building without being impressed with the mitless posi-
bities of that country. have hestancy in saying
that Canada will get good advertising out of the Elk
position than any other country portion of this country
perhaps not even excepting California.
1t was most short-sighted, by the way, for Mime
sofa to fail to provide for building at the Exposition
When the visitors at the exposition had the Can
adam exhibit they than anxious to return east
thru Canada and the majority of them do. If Mime
had the right kind of exhibit thousands would
have stopped off here in this state who will otherwise
pass right thru.
The street service in San Francisco nusi
ance at the time there account of some kind
fight between the privately owned lines and the mum
cipal line. They supposed to be operated ogethe
kind of agreement, but the terms of tina
agreement are matter of dispute. An Injunction wa
granted against the city restraining it from operating
certain Streets but another judge granted
