THE BUILDING OF THE WORLD OF TOMORROW The 1939 Baconian revolves around l'he lheme of 'lhe New York World's Fair. namely. The Building of 'lhe World of Tomorrow. ln 1935 Presidenl' Roosevell' declared 'l'ha'l' he had found one-'lhird of 'lhe naiion ill-housed. ill-clad, and ill-nourished. If was 'lhen proposed fhal' l'he nex-l WorId's Fair should show i'ls visi'l'ors 'lhal' America holds, wilhin her realms, quanlilies of resources for 'lhe happiness and beflermenl' of all people. l'l' was also decided l'ha'l' par'licuIar emphasis should be laid upon l'hose cul'l'ural and leisure-lime aclivilies which lead 'lo a richer. happier, heallhier, and longer life. For lhe firsl lime in American hislory 'l'he Fair presenls a vivid, complele piclure of l'he expanding American life.
