b The great industries of The country vie with the
nations of the world the attention of the common
man, in this accumulation of marvels. Certain of
drawing millions the exhibitors have spent great
sums in startling ways.
Perhaps the dominant note in the New York Fair
is the emphasis placed the rich opportunities which
await mankind the future, If only men will eschew
conflict and devote themselves TO exploring the pos
sibiities of the sciences and the arts.
The American fondness for travel and the Ann
erican preoccupaon with the future rather than the
past will combine to give the fair great magnetic
power 1t is safe to predict enormous movement
of people eastward and back again as the wonders
of another fair are seen and talked about.
The vastness of the enterprise alone would be i'm
pressive but would not be claim to great distinction.
The Fair, however, is more than an aggregation of
interesting sights. 1t embodies in its Wilderness an
ideal of the boundess opportunity held out to man
kind by an aluring tomorrow.
1t is significant that at time when the world is
filled with the rumors and rumbles of war the metro
polls which is sometimes called the worlds largest
small town it's attention to exposition of the
arts of peace When President Roosevelt opened the
fair it was in the Court of Peace that the ceremony
was held Represented is not only the work of brain
and hand and imagination of Americans, but the arts
and sciences of 60 foreign lands.
Such a fair is antidote to what ais the world.

endeavors which lead to greater happiness as it can

struction New York should help this year to point
