No great cntcipiise can be mnlei
taken to lepresent the broad lleld of

and In an cntcipiise like an exposi

In this famous adage Is more and mole

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

mind aa possible, rather than to lppel
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
magnliicent scale, were flist instituted,
eonipaiatlvely little attention was pild
to the light and gay aspects of life,
to sports and amusements, as th it

position nnd their managois prolltd

they could be mada to pay much bettQr
when the amusement featuies and the
Joous and pay side of theii clmao
ter were made piominent and that in
biiiiRlug these to the fiont tluro was
no deti action fiom the edmatloiial in
lluence exeiclsed by the cposltl m as

the iiuiint and ouilnus, the uol .ml

While It should not be supposed th t

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
fall Into the language of the streets
Fiom the beginning, an efCoit was
made to cull from the vast ntimhei of

tho-o whkh would combine the h -ments
of excitement nnd entei tain

kind of educational Inllueine which
tiavel In foieign dimes and among
stiange and unknown peoples Is wont
to confer.
Thus, with the $l000 0nu being ex
pended upon the rtiiitlnn of the Pan
American midwnv and the wisdom In
this vast pxpendltuie lesultlng fioni
the exprilenco of past expositions, the
visitor to the Pan-Ameilcau iut sum
