THE co:u
.! V
The Exposition and the Bu
reau of Education.
'Scientific ct Decus et Prctiani," the
n otto which the burciu of nJucation
! ttao Turns MiBriseippi exposition has
adopted, is spread over the pages ot an
open book lyii g against a p:Io of closed
ones, surmounted by the now familiar
legend: "Trans Mississippi and Inter
national Expasition, Omaha, U. S. A.,
J una to November, 1S93;" the whole
forming the plepsing title pages of a
little pamphlet ifnucd by this bureau.
Its object is to formulate a plan for a
Fericscfeducalional exhibits that shall
truly represent the educational 6 tan
dards of the Trans Mississippi region,
and to that oad tin bureau "ast's tho
co operation ! all educators, that a
comprehensive exhibition which will
emphasize tho beet features of educa
tional prcgress, may be secured."
Tho bureau of education is composed
or women entirely, and in turning over
to their charge this uio:-t important
department, tho lueu who planned tho
exposition have paid them a higher
tribute than they knew, and at the
same t'tue, as has over been the case,
thuh the tli9 curse of work web first
pronounced upon man, men have given
women the hardest task. As their most
capable secretary is obliged so frequent
ly to deprecatively say, "wo hive 1.0
money, you know,"' and yet theirs is the
task to oigauize a scries of congresses of
philosophical and scicntilic societies atd
carry them to a successful issue, to do
tho Eaiio with a series ot exhibits of tho
schools of this region and to bring to
light all kinds of woman's work. The
exhibits which tho various bureaus pre
sided over by nif n will bring, will bo
those which have a money value and for
which their owners will pay for tho privi
lege of exhibiting because of the re
'urns financial tLey expect, but while
it is equally imprtant that ths results
of education should be exhibited, ayef
even more impoitact, thesj who spend
tiirc and Lrain power and physical
tt'ength and money to make them,
nap no mmey reward in return. Hence
theieis in addiiian to the work neces
sary to 01 gat iz?, the ever present end
most difficult question to be solve!,
where shall the money come from to do
it?
'The individual competition for prizes
includts, under composition, stories by
children under 12 years ot age, language
work of any form by children under 15
years cf age, and a variety of literary
work for older students. Under history
there are subdivisions of local, American,
European and miscellaneous. Penman
ship has several subdivisions as has
a'so drawing, industrial tiaining and
nature study. Each student camp-ting
must pay twenty-five cents for a cer
tificate entitling him to enrollment,
which is the only fee charged for space
for such entry. The prizes for this wcrk
will be one gold, two silver and four
b.onze medals to each class competing
ucdor each division of each subject.
Pennants will be awarded in addition to
tho diploma for collective exhibits to
the best state, to tho best county
exhibits and32 classes of collective work
from schools. Under the historical de
pari meat there is a pnzz'e in Trans
Misshsippi history, open to all en
rolled pupils.
As one compares tho work of women
in this and previous expositions two
great differences at once preseLt them
salvee. There will be no presentation of
woman's work separately, there will bo
no woman's building. The wcrk under
taken by tho bureau, fc rmed exclusively
ot women, will concern tLeEchievcments
o! both stxs cjl'ec'.ivcly. and so far as
tie bureau 1 as prtmulgaled it, achieve
ments in intellectual and educational
Hues. At previous e xrcs:t"onF, and par
ticularly at the one just antedating this
one, great stress has been put upon tho
social features, and the precedence
which social standing and wealth confers
has been a very important element. So
far as woman's work has evolved in this
one, the purely social features have
been subordinated to tho educational
and tho aim has been to obliterate so
far as posrible lines of demarcation be
tween the various strata of social life as
well as between the work of the sexes.
This is in the Hue of tho best progress,
but is it in tho pathway ot greatest
pleasing of women? Will not a sjries of
high social functions in which tho prin
cipal actors will spend thousand; ot
dollars and near tens of thousands worth
of diamond?, be moro appreciated by
the masses and classes both? It is to bo
feared it may: it is t) ba hoped it may
not.
Whilo there is to I13 no woman's
building thero is to be a child's build
ing, with nursery, kindergarten, play
rooms and all the things t&at del ght
and instruct and take cure of children.
And hero will woman expand and
6how her great vocation. There will ba
the great rallying point for mothers
mothers first, last and all the time and
hero tho opportunity fcr such an out
lay of endeavor as shall dwarf other
work.
