SCHOOL GROUP
VISIT CHICAGO

our party the most interesting rep
reservations were from Florida, AL
aska, Wisconsin and Michigan. Pu'
pills gained a very vivid impression
of the industries carried on in each
state besides viewing the live beal
cubs and deer from Wisconsin on
exhibition.
In the Hall of Science the children
learned something about the Won
6ers of nature from the growing
tree bark on exhibition. From view
ing the Transparent Man." a giant
man composed of cellOn and brought
from Germany to the world exhibit
tion, the group gained a clear know
ledge of the tract of the digestive
system and the circulation of the
blood as plainly as could be Observ-
ed by the use of the X-ray. 1t also
showed the position of all the major
organs of the body.
The Travel and Transport build
ing was of especial historic inter-
est to the children. 1t showed pres
ent day methods of transportation in
contrast to pioneer methods. An
other phase of history was presented
in the Sinclair exhibit where dior
anna life-life presentations of the
pl ehistoric animals were shown. To
see these huge creatures in motion
illuminated by the very magnificent
colored lights was a most pictures
que scene.
A variety of interests were shown
in the General Exhibits buildings.
One of the most interesting was a
detailed plan of an African diamond
mine in operation. Near this nina
ture mine could be viewed the ia
nous five hundred dollar Hope Dia-
mond guarded by the electric eye.
To provide an enjoyable rest per-
iod for the children, they were taken
to the A. and P. Ampitheater where
first they were entertained by Paul .
Ashes orchestra, followed by George .
Rector's famous marionette revue.
On the Enchanted Island the pupils .
had an opportunity to go on the
various amdsements. To watch the
boys and girls drive auto cars
around the track was as much fun
for the observers as it was for the
operators.
The last and most gorgeous view
of the entire fair ground was gain
ed from walking to the top of the
Hall of Science building where the
entire colored lighting system was
displayed over the entire area. The
bold splashes of color reflected on
the lagoon was a sight not soon to
be forgotten.
After buying many interesting SOU
venirs, the group then returned to
Union Station and boarded the train
for home.
On the return trip they saw many
of the scenes which were denied
them on their ride there. The fol-
lowing places of interest were point
ed out: Pennsylvania Sand and
Glass Factory, the monument erect
ed near Johnstown, to the memory
of the two lost pioneer children, the
scene of the Johnstown Flood, the
coke ovens around Altoona, soft coal
mining, many blasts and furnaces,
the very famous Horse Shoe Bend
and numerous other places of inter-
est.
Every member of the party thor
oughly enjoySd the trip. The ideal
weather conditions added much to
the delight of the journey. The fol-
lowing were the people in the par
