No great cntcipiise can be mnlei

an expression of this fact and the unl
eisal tendency of educating of tod iv
Is to make all branches of public In

the student and cieate In him a dis
taste for learning by making the 1 isk

When expositions, which In tin list
analvsls aio but universities upon a

they could be mada to pay much bettQr
when the amusement featuies and the
Joous and pay side of theii clmao

biiiiRlug these to the fiont tluro was
no deti action fiom the edmatloiial in
lluence exeiclsed by the cposltl m as

cluii mcil tuition of a great fair ill this
should be found in a pre-emlne nt d -giee.
When the midway at tin Pin
American was pinpoed, It was iKtci
nilnde that It should be tlio very bet
of Its kind and the greatest thing "that
fur happened" if In tuattng of so
light a theme one may be peimltted to

Fiom the beginning, an efCoit was
made to cull from the vast ntimhei of

of excitement nnd entei tain

kind of educational Inllueine which

Thus, with the $l000 0nu being ex
pended upon the rtiiitlnn of the Pan

this vast pxpendltuie lesultlng fioni

visitor to the Pan-Ameilcau iut sum
