I One plan, the most ambitions ever breached upon the subject, content plate the use of the Parkway and i large portion of Fnirmeunt Park en both sides of the ScUujIkill. The latter Is te be transformed Inte a water high way. Instead of flimsy buildings beautiful ' in design, but unsubstantial, a struc tures of staff and plaster usually nre in this climate, the scheme contemplates the erection of permanent building aurpassinglv lnviutiful both a te archi tecture and location. Ideas In Past Expositions The great expositions of the past have tvpitied some great idea : have been designated bv some distinctive title. They were the concrete expres sion in punerainic beauty of a unique conception. Thus the Philadelphia Imposition of 3S"(! wu known as the "Centennial." It celebrated the eentenninl nnnlversnry of the birth of the nation. The World's pair in Chicago in ln.T wiis known as "The White Cit " San Francisci known as "the Panama Im position " wns n gorgeous presentation of the Mi-Is and sciences.
