AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE STATE

New York has appropriated $725,000 for the
worlds fair at San Francisco aud the city itself
has added $1,000 more the idea OF the latter
sum being to have public building in which the
exhibits OF the great city alone will be sedn.
We are told that the state building has a great
ball roop, and motion picture theater, twenty
private r'ooms for state commissioners and large
equipment for service, parcels, trunk room, and
SO on and it is built on the outside with imitation
travertine, that the structure is a modern classic
ideal with Greek influence There are beautiful
rooms set aside for the use of the governor Of
the state, rooms also for the three women com
missoners, Mrs W. r. Hearst Mrs E. H. Gary
and Mrs +. X Brown.
To some of the other states it may appear that
New York is going rather strong, but still the
contention Of the people there is that it will re-
suit in advertising the state in the most effective
manner Most assuredly New York is gong into
the exposition on a large scale.
The legislature will be asked for a small APP
preparation for the Oklahoma building at the ex-
position, to replace that which was deposited as
a guarantee by Mrs Fred Sutton one of the com
missioneY, The only comment on the subject
that has been heard so far is that the appropr.
alton is not large enough After all the work
that has been done by Mrs Sutton for representa-
tion at the fair surely the state can afford to lend
n little help.

dent is the important factor in vigorous academic
life and careful search is made, without haste,
in order TO find the right man.
These two colleges, working separately, chose
two MacCrac brothers, neither college know
ing that either man had brother IN the same pro-
fesSonal world but each one realizing that the
MacCracken it chose had father, the chancellor
emeritus of New York university.
Henry Mitchell MacCracken has thus given
two important colleges their presidents John llenry
MacCracken from professoTShip in the New York
university, to Lafayette Henry Noble MacCrack-
en- from professorship in Smith to VasSar, and
these elections were made within twenty-four
hours of each other.
The Henry James family of Massachusetts and
the John Tyler family of Virginia are similar in-
stances but it may be expected that such continu-
ing and similar family service will increase in the
years to come
