ion style," which harmonized
with the woodwork. Indian blankets in rich dull reds and blues hung from
the railing of the wall, which emphasized the "mission" effect.

The second floor was devoted to the sleeping apartments of the hostess
and the board of managers and the governor's suite. The furnishings were
of mahogany. In the basement were the dining room, kitchen, and
storerooms.

The personnel of the board of managers of the State of Wisconsin was as
follows:

W.D. Hoard, president; A.J. Lindemann, vice-president; Grant Thomas,
secretary; S.A. Cook, treasurer; W.H. Flett, William A. Scott, Mrs.
Lucy E. Morris, Mrs. Theodora Youmans; Mrs. Emma I. Walsh, hostess.

In the Palace of Education and Social Economy a comprehensive display of
the highly organized school system of the State of Wisconsin was
arranged; in the Palace of Agriculture a fine collection of the
agricultural and dairy products of the State, also the exhibit of the
Agricultural College; in the Palace of Horticulture a superb display of
the fruit; in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy an interesting exhibit
of the mineral wealth; in the Palace of Forestry, Fish, and Game a
display of the commercial woods, and throughout the fall prize-winning
herds of cattle, sheep, horses, and other live stock were on show at the
live stock display grounds. The educational exhibit in the Palace of
Education was illustrative of the progress of Wisconsin's schools. The
exhibit embraced the kindergarten, graded schools, high schools, manual
training schools, optional study of the German language, public library,
the public museum in its connection with the schools, school for the
deaf, agricultural school, and barracks or portable schoolhouses for use
in the crowded districts of the city. The three free schools of
agriculture and domestic economy, located at Madison in connection with
the State University, and at Menominee, and Wassau were especially
noteworthy. The two latter are distinctly training schools in
agriculture and domestic economy, and are the only schools of their kind
in the United States.

The public schools of Milwaukee made a separate display. The furnishings
of the entire exhibit, except the cabinets, were made by the pupils of
the high school manual training department.

A unique feature of modern school work was illustrated by the
application of the graphophone in the instruction of the children, and
illustrations of the results obtained. Uniq
