The supervising architect of the Unit
ed States treasury introduced another
element of variety in the United States
Government building, taking the form
of a big flat dome, an Ionic colonnade
and a classic pediment lifted in the air
(by a caryatid attic. The same archi
tect reproduced in the great Fish pa
vilion for the government of the United
States, line for line, a Roman dwelling
ihouse of the Pompeiian type.
ARTS OF ALL AGES
They Are Blended by World's Fair Designers
So as to Produce Both Variety
and Harmony.
One of the architects defines the use
of the term "as a carte blanche to the
architects to produce a beautiful ef
fect by the use of any architectural de
vice that ever gladdened human eyes,
from the pediment and peristyle of the
Parthenon to the minaret and dome of
the Taj Mahal
The architect of the Palace of Educa
tion surrounded that building with a
majestic Corinthian colonnade. Anoth
er architect made towers of the pedes
tals that carry the crowning sculpture
of the Palace of Electricity. Another
architect designed for the Palace of
Varied Industries Spanish steeples and
a semicircular colonnade unlike any
thing ever before done in architecture.
The architect used a dome roof and a
triumphal arch motif in the Palace of
Manufactures. Another architect broke
the sky lines of the Palace of Liberal
Arts with auadriga crowned entrances
•reaching as high as five story houses.
Other architects introduced into the
Palace of Machinery a German feeling,
wlth a forest of towers and a big slop
ing roof backing a sculpture decked
entrance way.

Masters Is Seen With the Latest Crea

E architecture of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is majestic
the great ivory white exhibit
palaces, historical in the foreign
and state buildings, all-world and
unique in concession structure.
The palaces are the varied produc
tions of the leading architects of the
United States, designed in obedience to
a chaste, harmonious scheme. The
style adopted is described as "a free
treatment of the Renaissance." Ac
cording to dictionaries, "Renaissance"
ds the style which succeeded the me
diaeval and was based upon study and
emulation of the forms and ornaments
of the classic architecture of Greece
and Rome.
In the Mines and Metallurgy Palace
the Egyptian obelisks furnish the motif
for the entrances. The cornice is wiped
out entirely by the substitution of an
overhanging roof. In the Art Palace
an engaged colonnade is employed to
flecorate a windowless museum facade.
Festival Hall is made conspicuous and
Instinctive with the largest dome on
earth. The chief of design of the Ex
position adopted the dome roof, three
massive entrance arches and a bottle
shaped pylon for features of the great
Palace of Transportstiori. This same
mind employed plain heavy piers on
the Palace of Agriculture and demon
strated the architectural possibilities of
the farmhouse gable in the Forestry,
iFlsh and Game building.
The artistic sense finds further pleas
ing variety in the Tudor Gothic of the
dozen permanent red granite buildings
which form part of the World's Fair
settlement.
Architectural history may be read in
the buildings of the states and foreign
governments. France reproduces the
Grand Trianon at Versailles Germany,
the Imperial castle at Charlottenburg
Great Britain, the Orangery of Ken
sington palace, at London Japan, the
Castle of Nagoya China, the palace of
Prince Pu Lun. Belgium builds an

or inner court, in its buildings. Louisi
ana reproduces the Cabildo at New Or
leans, where the formal transfer of the
Louisiana Purchase Territory from
France to the United States took place.
New Jersey supplies a replica of Gen-1
eral Washington's headquarters at
Morristown. Connecticut presents the
fine Sigourney mansion at Hartford
and adds mantels and woodwork from
two other Connecticut mansion homes.
Virginia's pride is gratified in Monti
cello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.
Mississippi builds Beauvoir, the home
of Jefferson Davis. Most of the other
states adopt the style of the big exhibit
palaces on their buildings. The tran
sition from the architectural dignity of
the Plateau of States to the gayety of
the Pike is made by the building of
Texas, shaped like a five pointed star,
and by the wigwams of giant trees
which Washington and Oregon supply.
Color is used sparingly on screen
walls and in shaded places in the ex
hibit palaces. The facades are a uni
form ivory white, with color on the
roofs, domes and towers. On Conces
sions street, however, color is used more
freely, and the forms of the "art
nouveau" abound.
FEATURES OF EDUCATION.
Mow he Exhibi at St Loui Will Bo

O a
CLAUDE W E O E
Education finds more recognition in
Jie Louisiana Purchase Exposition than
in any previous centennial celebration.
It is the keynote of the great enter
prise, permeating every display. More
over, the idea in its abstract has a home
of its own, in that for the first time in
history the appliances of school life are
shown in a building constructed ex
clusively for this purpose.
At Chicago and at Paris this exhibit
was made a department of something
else. At St Louis it is seen alone,
housed in a palace which many con
sider the most perfect architecturally
of any on the grounds.
Besides, in the classification of ex
hibits education leads all others, taking
rank over fine arts, manufacture and
all the industries.
In remarking these facts visitors have
added that it was strange such promi
nence had not been given to education
before, and they are loud in their praise
of those who have carried the idea so
prominently to the front.
In St. Louis the revealment of process
will be carried out in the Palace of Edu
cation as well as in the other palaces.
Formerly it was deemed sufficient to
arrange in booths samples of text books
and of apparatus of the laboratory and
observatory. Appliances used in the
schoolroom were displayed convention
ally, and visitors could pass through
aisle after aisle and view only the
technicalities of the world of instruc
tion. As a result the pedagogue only
was interested.
In St. Louis, however, there is to be
actual demonstration of the use made
of all such appliances, and the multi
tude will find itself entertained. Thus
the model training school will be a
creature of life—boys to be seen using
the tools of the various trades. Pupils
of a school for the blind will demon
strate the methods in vogue where the
sense of touch is made to supply that
of sight, and those who are deaf and
dumb will also be given opportunity
to display their method of instruction.
College professors at work in labora
tories promise entertainment for the
layman, and likewise there will be
demonstration of the methods em
ployed in using the modern telescope
and taking photographs of the sun,
moon and stars.
Supplementing these active exhibits
will be others quite as interesting that
have been secured from all over the
world by means of the camera. Enter
one booth and turn the swinging doors
of a movable cabinet. You will see
picture after picture illustrating school
life, the children entering a class room,
the pupils at recitation, in a fire drill,
during the recess hour—in fact,
through all the stages from the hour
when they assemble for their studies
until time comes for dismissal.
As illustrations of public school life
in large cities, New York, St. Louis,
Cleveland and other municipalities
have planned to make extensive dis
plays, while cities of the old world will
bring their systems into comparison.
Higher education is exemplified as
never before at a world's fair. All the
large colleges of the United States
have prepared extensive exhibits

which are supplemented by displays
from technical institutions.
Both interesting and novel will be
study the scientific questions of agri
culture and horticulture. Here .will be
demonstrated the best system of fer
tilizing the soil, of sowing the seeds, of
caring for the crops, of harvesting
them, and then for handling the same
in barns and storehouses. Visitors to
the Exposition will be given the op
portunity for instruction in the
diseases which infest the realm of
Flora and the medicines or surgery
that must be employed to combat the
dangerous inroads.
Located on the Grand basin and com
manding a view of the Cascades, the

TO STUDY THE FAIR.
Excellen O it or Publiti
School to A he Expositio
In Bodies—Specia a
to Be A a
The school children living within a
reasonable radius of St. Louis will have
opportunities in connection with the.
World's Fair which never before have
been offered by any exposition. As this
Exposition is to be distinctively educa
tional in all its departments, special at
tention has been paid by the manage
ment to the development of the study
idea in connection with the Fair.
The correspondence of the officials
shows that the teachers or directors of
many public schools in Missouri and
other states not greatly distant from
the Exposition are desirous of making
arrangements to bring their pupils in
bodies to the Fair in order that the,
children may pass a few days in study
Ing the features of the great spectacle
for their own intellectual benefit I
Already a number of such trips have
been planned, those in charge of each
school making arrangements with the
railroads for special transportation
rates and securing hotel or boarding
house accommodations in St. Louis, not
too far from the fair grounds, at re
duces prices. There is every probability
that during the summer vacation, and'
also in the spring and fall, there will
be numerous excursions to St. Louis of
school children who will attend the Ex-1
position in charge of their teachers and
give particular attention to the fea-1
tures which are best calculated to aid
them in mental development. I
Teachers as well pupils cannot fail
to derive great benefit from a study of
the Exposition. In the Palace of Edu
cation will be arranged an enormous
mass of material collected from the
schools of every state and nation, scien
tifically classified and showing an in
valuable comparative exhibit of the
work of school children the world over
also there will be a vast amount of
material serving to show the best meth
ods of teaching, sanitation of school
rooms and other things of interest in
this connection.
Special facilities are to be provided
at the Exposition for the comfort and
teachers and pupils. Jefferson Guards
or other competent guides will be de
tailed to pilot the parties through the
grounds and buildings, pointing out the
objects of greatest interest to the chil
dren. From time to time there will be
But the entire Exposition is to be a
vast picture of universal industry, and
with its many marvelous machines in
motion, its factories and mines in oper
ation, and its thorough exposition of
the processes of producing finished arti
cles from the raw material, it will fur
nish object lessons to both teacher and
pupil which will be entertaining as
well as highly instructive. The child's
laatural interest in seeing how things
work will be one of the greatest aids
toward the acquisition of knowledge.
It is safe to assert that there will be
thousands of children at the World's
Fair who will learn more in one day's
observation of the great moving pano
rama than they could imbibe from a
whole season's teaching through the
medium of text books.
Suppose, for instance, that a teacher
desires to give his pupils information
as to the products- of the various states
of the Union. A walk along the Pla
teau of States, where the state build
ings are located, suggests itself. In
each of these handsome buildings the
children will be able to gain informa
I tion which might require months to ob
tain in any other way. Further infor
mation may be acquired by visiting the
exhibit palaces and studying the dis
plays of the products of the states that
will be found therein.
If it is desired that the children learn
sometning about the actual workings of
mines, a trip through the great mining
gulch on the Exposition Grounds will
furnish the information. Here the pu
pils may see gold, silver, copper, lead
and coal mines in operation, all the
processes of taking out and reducing
the ores being shown.
A considerable knowledge of history
and a taste for historical reading may
be imparted to the school children by
slight effort upon the part of theii
teachers in visiting the Government
building and examining the precious
documents to be shown there. Here
also the science of civil government
may be taught to much better advan
tage than from text books, for each de
partment of the National Government
will have its separate exhibit, showing
the workings of the departments, its
methods and aims.
To afford the pupils a general idea
of the nations of the world it will be
necessary merely to make a tour of the
foreign government buildings, the teach
ers taking the pains to describe the
habits, industries and arts of the re
spective peoples represented.
Suggestions as to how to study the
Exposition to best advantage will be
prepared by competent persons and fur
nished to those in charge of school
children.

The Department of Justice will show
at St. Louis photographs of the large
prisons, penitentiaries and workhouses
in the United States, with specimens
of work done by prisoners.
During his exile on St. Helena Na

Mr. James F. Early has produced a
superb model of the Library of Con
gress which will be the principal fea
ture in the exhibit to be made under
Dr. Putnam's direction at St. Louis for
the government. Several of the beau
tiful Corinthian columns in miniature
have already been completed. This
work when finished promises to sustain
Mr. Early's fine reputation as a sculp
tor and architect.
The exhibit of Alaskan trade and en
terprises will be one of the most inter
esting at the Exposition. The resources
of the Klondike—the seal, salmon, cod
and halibut fisheries—will be extensive
ly exploited. A family of Alaskan seals
will be brought to St Louis. A unique
anthropological exhibit of desirable
specimens will be seen. The Alaskan
building is a typical Alaskan structure
with four giant totem poles on each
corner.
The original treaty for the purchase
of the Louisiana territory, now in the
vaults of the Department of State, is
written on six pages of Irish linen pa
