Nebraska's Exhibit at St. Louis
is Being Prepared.
Professor Barbour, who is superin
tendent of the Nebraska educational
exhibit at St. Louis, is at present en
gaged in vigorouply pushing matters to
v deflnito conclusion. Ho has just
sent circular letters to 300 club women
in tho Etate; viewing these clubs as
educational institutions Hi a certain
sense, for married women. They will
he asked to contribute original produc
tions in literature, mush and art. Ten
thousand letters have been sent out to
school teachers. The school exhibits
will Include specimens of work of vari
ous sorts from the kindergarten up
through the grades, and even through
the normals, colleges and the Un,iver
sitj. Dr. Barbour has visited a number
oi schools in tho state and arranged for
a large amount of material, much of
which has been received, no mentions
a number of instances of the surpris
ingly fine work mat is being done by
children in romo of our state schools,
in drawing and sketching, and tome of
the best productions will be sr cuitd for
our exhibit. Even in the lower grades
l)r Baibour repoits an unusual a ...
ty for .'etching and di signing among
tho young children.
A l.ilf-carload of muteiial ha. hern

It Is planned to exactly icpieFenl at
the fair the status of education In Ne
braska at tin. piesent time. An op
portunity will be gien us fcr a com
parison with other states in tdiua
tlonal progress. Our present status will
be represented as fairly and squarely
as possible, and no exaggeration of
Uie facta need be made, for our exhibit
will Bhow for itsolf
Tho Palace of Education In which all
of tho oducatlonal exhibits will be
housed, is shaped like- a great key
stone. It is the Hi si that has ever been
built at any exposition. It covers teven
acres of gum ml, and is of Immonse pro
pciticii9. But even this great building
as oiiginally designed waR-cntlrely In
adequate to meet the demands for
smicc An open court cocring two
acres had been left in I ho center, but
it was found necessary to loot it over
and utilize the space A building cov
eting thirty acres would not sulllce
to accommodate all the requests for
space that have been received, iowu
desired 10,000 feet, but was obliged to
be content with 1-00. We would have
desired 4,000 feet, but have been abllgod
to do with much loss.
Tho spaco allotted- Nebraska is ad
vantageously located on the main nlale
of tho Palace of Education. Hero, on
a slightly- raised floor space of 900 feet
square, will stand a booth 30 feet
square, with two suitable facades fac
ing tho aisles. Tho wall space will bo
Increased by ceitain wings, and by cabi
nets of swinging frames. Acording to
tho intention of the chiefs of the de
partment, everything educational
should reach a high standard of excel
lence. Exhibits must bo seloct, con
densed, and well classified, bound In
books and portfolios. Diagrams, photo
graphs, statistics and tho like will be
displayed1 mostly In swinging frames.
Other work will bo displayed on the
wall. In addition there will he coun
ters, book shelves, cases, desks "and
lockers'. It 1b particularly desirable to
obtain history and data concerning
each school, to be accompanied wher
ever possible by photographs of tho
earlier as well as the later school
houses the principal and his teaching
staff,and groups of representative pu
