The true fuucllou of an exposition is education. The purpose and the end of all Its ministrations should be the development and the ripening of eaeh aoul which comes within the scope of Its Influence. Youni or old, man or t! 1. ", -If DR. SF.LIM H.

To this end the Exposition speaks to Its visitors with three voices through Its architecture. Its exhibits. Its amuse ments. The Tan-American Exposition will address Its expected throngs la all these voices. In Its architecture must be iucluded the whole external equipment its) buildings In their artistic and symmet rical arrangement and grouping, the beauty of their style, the exulieiniiee of their dceoralious, hreathlng afresh He genius of the Spaniard anil the Moor In graceful forms and gorgeous colorings; the landscape eITeets, blending the har monies of forest nud lake, of fountain and tower, of cascade and castle and culminating spire of all that Is lovely In nature with all that Is reliued nud ennobling In art. Here, as at Chicago, the architect hold; high carnival. If nr the Columbian exposition we found tho chaste purity of the lily la a presenta tion "un.-qualcd since the days of I'hid Ins uud Praxiteles." the fairies who joiu hands 111 the I'an-Americau clothe theiiiM-lves v. i ; I the chaste hues of ;.j'--'-'r";e VI this great store. We offer 82 ) 00 in gold lor a name for our great 83.00 ladies shoe. You have an equal chance to win it. cend down Jit'.an and or Muriilo. uhequaicd since the days of Venice nud of the Allium bra. Another dream of beauty will bang lu the eastern sky, paralleling the visions of delight that linger ou the w estern horizon. Who can doubt the educative effect of these architectural lessons within the hearts of the American people? It Is, however, not enough to have evoked, like n mirage floating over the plains, these phantasmagoria) delights which till our lives with joy and our memories with dreams. The president of tho Trench republic In the decree which laid the foundation of the expo sition of llXiO declared the purpose of that great enterprise to be "a presenta tion of the works of art and of indus trial nnd agricultural products" nn as semblage of exhibits. That is without doubt the central, the formative, idea of the Pan-American Exposition. Withi lit exhibits there can be no ex position. Each new nnd well arranged exposi tion Is a new edition of a world's en cyclopedia constructed by a scientific and exhaustive arrangement of ma terial things. It Is also n landmark, n milestone In toe history of the world's progress and the development of man kind. No one may expect, no one should desire, to read through from first to last the marvels presented In a universal exposition. As well expect to memorize the Library of Congress or of the Itritisli Museum, lint, were the exposition or the library truly uni versal, every man should find therein the latest utterance which the world can give upon any subject within the scjpe of human inquiry. Unless this be the fact the exposition Is in some decree deficient In the fulfilling of Its V. nuie duty. Its il-.ity i.inj- be express ed, less exhaustively, perhaps, but v .itli more practical truth, thus: It is n place not in which anybody will learn nil It inn offer, but In which anybody l:iny enlarge the scope of his informa tion. How far the l'an-Ainei lean Ex position can realize this criterion of coniplotcncrs and of excellence , will depend upon the urea of space at Its disposal and the skill of its olllcers In the management of that space. It looks now us if It will bieo.nc not an l.ioyelopcilia of ull knowledge, but nil r lition do luxe cf the most excellent l .-ln tioilB. Ii: this phase f the Exposition will be fi: i:i 1 Its most instructive value. Whet hi r it will also be the most edu cative will depend upon the Individual who h: the recipient. The Exposition has a third phase, rendei jig another il.-inent of education tlirot'rii it-i power of amusement. Amid !iie v. hlrl f sounds and scenes in the exhibit depart incuts mind and body nc qul:; Intense fatigue which craves rest. The toil of simple observation becomes wearisome. Music becomes a restful solute. The magician's wand lends new life to tired limbs. There was some froth In the Chicago Midway. I'.ut regarding the Midway after the lapsij of seven years one is convinced that out of it came i,.ore endiuiir; and pva -lical lufol iiiatiuli and nlucutioH than there was of lucre ephemeral foam. Years of travel leading to some of the reii test quurtcrs of the earth would liao' .n-cii required to give even tlie casual observer so liuieii insicut Into the manners, customs nud conduct of peoples differing from us in race, color, religion and habits of life and thought as might have loon gathered In a single journey up and down the purlieus of the Midway. wAn excellent condition of the Midway was Its con centration. While it was cf the expo sition, it was wholly by Itself. Ser.ie things shown Illustrated the processis of Important business methods, like the making of glass or of lace, !' i culture of ostriches, the work of the diver in the depths of the sea. Some showed medhvval structures, like the Castle of IMarney, the Streets of Old Vienna and of Constantinople. Some wen- wholly given to hilarity, like the Streets of Calm, tilled with Innocent fun. These very scones may not be repeated at the I'an-Ainerlcan. but others equally In structive, equally Interesting, equally amusing, will be shown. Above all. around all. will be display ed the effects of scientific manifesta tions, particularly of electricity, with such exuberance of force and such va riety of effect as the world has not heretofore seen. The picture I .ay not be overdrawn. The most r..arvelous anticipation will 1h realized. Sfi.im II. I'iwiiopv, Superintendent of I.ilieral Arts.
