be to launch the designing of the
social science building. He will
then be in general command of
it's construction and will direct
the selection and arrangement
of exhibits.
One great building, called the
Temple of Science, will contain
the exhibits relating to the ply
slcal sciences-astronomy, phys
les, electricity, engineering-and
to the general application of sci
ence to industry. The other
building, the one which Mr..
Odum will have in charge, will
contain the exhibits portraying
the influence of science upon the
social development Of mankind.
Here will be told the story of a
century of progress in economics,
political science, sociology, and
psychology.
AS the physical science side
of the exposition is sponsored by
the National Research Council,
so is the social science side
sponsored by the Social Science
Research Council, which is the

pointed a committee to formul-
ate plans for the social sciences
representation at the exposition.

appointed Mr.. Odum as it's ex-
ecutive officer and commits
stoned him to act as chief of the
social science division of the ex-
position.
The purpose of the exposition,
as stated in the formal announce
ment, is as follows:
During the past one hundred
years, science has revolutionized
our methods of transportation,
it has expedited communication,
it has transferred many of the
domestic arts and crafts from
the home to the factory, it has
facilitated the work of the farm
er, and in many ways it has
brought comfort and pleasure to
man and lightened his labors.
