MEN is of log-hewn buildings sur-
rounded by a stockade on the grounds
of Chicago's 1933 World’s Fair — A
- Century of progress Exposition — tells
an interesting story of man’s advance-
ment.
This group is the Poprotetion of old
Fort Dearborn, Chicago's first perma-
. nent settlement.
fort and a few scattered cabins around
it comprised all there was to Chicago.
"Today Chicago is the fourth largest
metropolis in the world with a popu-
lation of about 3,500,000 and an inter-
national, domestic and local commerce
valued at billions of dollars a year.
Old Fort Dearborn, standing in con-
trast to its twentieth century sur-
roundings, symbolizes the progress of
~ the hundred years which the 1933 Ex-
| position will celebrate. Not only has
Chicago developed from this crude be-
~ ginning to its present magnitude~in
iat the span of a century, but humanity
everywhere has been the beneficiary
of some amazing improvements in liv-
/ Ang conditions.
When you pass through the portals
of this historic replica at Twenty-sixth
Street and the laKe front, you leave
i the twentieth century behind. But fpr
; the rugged skyscrapers of Michigan
hs ) Boulevard in the distance you might
a easily imagine yourself transported to
Sg the pioneer days of Chicago's early
wae story. /

© grounds bears fifteen stars and strip-
a "es of the year 1812. The guides are
dressed in the red and blue uniforms
"of that era. An ancient well and oak-
"en bucket, a grist mill and an ox-
yoke, the powder magazine, the sol-
~ diers’ barracks and the quaint cur-
ips -that abound everywhere within the
enclosure tell the story of an age that
is past. Ags it stands on the Fair
: ‘grounds, old Fort Dearborn is an exact
reproduction of the original fort built
“at the mouth of the Chicago river in
11808. Plans and specifications for the
original fort made by Captain John
‘Whistler were obtained from the War
‘Department by the Chicago Historical
Society. These were turned over to
the Exposition and. followed faithfully
in the fort’s construction.
Let us follow the guide through the
~~. old post and see' some of the curious
objects.
In a corner of ‘the enclosure is an
open fire place ov. er which hangs a
{huge iron pot such as was used by the
\ garrison for making soap. In the
rooms there are rocking chairs, hand-
"' hewn benches, and spinning wheels.
Open fire places with andirons, long-
handled frying pans, spits for roasting
fowls and huge kettles are found in a

A century ago this
number of the rooms. There are beds
more than a century old with warm-
ing pans to make them comfortable
on wintry nights. There are trundle
beds for children that could be whisk-
ed under the big beds in daytime.
Flint-lock rifles, ancient lanterns, iron-
wrought candle holders, skin of bears
and other wild animals and a wooden
meat grinder are among other inter:
esting objects on display.
‘Two brass cannon brought to the or-
iginal fort in 1804 and two others made
houses. These have been loaned to
the Exposition by the United States
Military Academy, at West Point, N,
Y.
There is a churn of maple with
wooden hoops and a dough tray al-
most large enough for a baby’s cradle.
A reproduction of the Fort's store with
jerked beef, calico cloth, corn meal,
skins and knives takes one back to
the early trading days. Campaign
equipment of the average American
army officer of the period, boot jacks
and other curios are found in other
rooms. : ,
This collection of interesting pion-
eer articles has been made possible
only through the co-operation of man
individuals and organizations with the
Exposition, The Daughters of the
American Revolution, the Chicago His-
torical Society, the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, the American Legion, the Army -
and) Navy have loaned many priceless
objects for the collection,
One of the most interesting features:
of the old Fort is the reproduction of |
historic documents including a facsi-
mile of a treaty between the United
States and the tribes of the Sac and
Tox Indians in 1832, by the terms of
which the Federal Government paid
the Indians three cents an acre for
the land of Northern Illinois, hangs on
one of the walls. The Fort’s collection
of Americana includes many other il-
luminating documents, among which
are the quarterly returns made. by

State School :
Rank Forty-First
Statistics Show I Pennsylvania
‘Stands Low in School
pp Expenditures.
‘Pennsylvania, second among all the
states in wealth and in income, ranks
no better than forty-first among the
forty-eight in the proportion of its
wealth, spent on schools. Pennsylvan-
ia stands forty-first also in the pro-
portion of its wealth collected by lo-
cal and state governments, and is a
lowly twenty-seventh in a tabulation
of the annual cost per pupil in aver-
age daily school attendance. J
These striking facts’ are shown in
a report presented to the Pennsyl-
vania State Education Association by
a fact-finding committee headed by
Carmon Ross, of Doylestown. The
figures on which the tabulations are
based are taken from National Indus-
trial Conference Board statistics on
wealth and income, a [Congressional
report on doubt taxation and records
of the U. S. Commissioner of Educa-
tion.’
While the “Keystone commonwealth
is second in total assets, it ranks
only fifth in per capita wealth—but
it’s a long way from that standing to
forty-first, the significant position of
Penngylvania as to the proportion of
its wealth "spent to educate its chil-
dren. Ui
The Ross Committee made a sep
arate analysis of Pennsylvania's re-
cord in school support as measured
by that of eleven: other large, wealthy
states—California, Connecticut, Illin-
éis, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio and Wisconsin — feeling a com-
parison with states of somewhat sim-
tions the fairest one. Among these
twelve, Pennsylvania is lowest in the
daily cost per pupil, an indication of
reasonable economy, at least, in
school administration, and also ranks
last in the cost per average day’s
attendance. The state stands eighth
in the average amount paid its teach-
ers. Keystone educators ‘receiving

setts, Connecticut, Ohio and Illinois,

Measured by the number its

the state is fourth and also stands

The whole study demonstrates the
truth of the contention that Pennsyl-
vania ranks high in its ability to sup-
port education, but low in its efforts
to do so. Last week the Pennsylvan-
ia State Education Association, voice
of the teachers, declared its willing- A
ness to see a ten per cent cut in sal-
aries for the coming year. but vigor-
ously opposed any reduction of the ap-
propriations by the legislature for the
support of education, insisting that
saving through this or any other ec-
onomy measures should react to x
advantage of the local taxing body,
and through it, to the real estate own-
er, who now carries three- fourths of
the cost of local government and edu- 4
cation, although he possesses but.
