ntry at large could be adequately advised of
what is to be seen, learned, and enjoyed within these grounds.

All the National, State, Territorial, and District governments
participating in the exposition are quite as much interested as
the company in the diffusion of knowledge concerning the merits
of the exposition and securing the attendance of the largest
number of people who may find it possible to enjoy the benefits
and the pleasure of a visit to the grounds. It appears to the
Commission that the company may well call to its aid the forces
referred to. The details through which publicity may be widely
extended might wisely be made the result of a conference by a
committee made up of persons appointed by the Exposition
Company, the National Commission, and the representatives of
Governments, States, Territories, and Districts having duly
accredited commissioners appointed to represent them. It is
probable that such a conference would find the representatives
of each Government, State, and District anxious to cooperate by
furnishing detailed information along well-considered lines
concerning the participation of each in the fair. For example,
the people of New York will be interested in a well-prepared
description of the exhibits of that State, whereas the same
subject-matter would not be of like interest to the people of
California; but, on the contrary, the people of California would
be interested in a graphic description of California exhibits.

The newspapers of the respective States will, without doubt,
cheerfully give space to descriptive matter directly relating to
the exhibits and achievements of their readers.

One instance has been called to the attention of the Commission
where the names of visitors to the fair, registered at a State
building, are being forwarded to the leading daily papers of the
State, and published as a matter of news in their columns. The
papers in question not only publish the list of arrivals at the
exposition, but have called for any other matter of interest
occurring here relating to the people or affairs of the State.
This method of publicity pursued by the commissioners of one
State might, as the result of conference, become generally
adopted. The Exposition Company could well afford to aid and
assist in the preparation of descript
