life W infield Sutton Mr. Sutton you seem to be en- joying the Fair Mr. Sutton: It is a most fitting and impressive reminder of the fact that the sciences have progressed farther in the last hundred years than for eight centuries proceed- ing. Duly impressed: What to you was most outstanding? Mr. Sutton: Taken as a whole, I was impressed first with the mag- nitude occupied, money invested and operating capital required. The exposition is a monument to the courage and confidence of those responsible for its great success. In considering the individual features, the Hall of Science, Electrical Display, the Transpor- tation building, and the Court of States were some of the most in- teresting. Charles Griffith A-ha! Another member of the School Board! Mr. Griffith: This Fair reminds rnc so much of the other one. I thirk both of them are so wonderful. I spent ten days at the other fair. Busybody: What similarity did you find? Mr. Griffith: The idea of a World Fair in itsolf is attractive Ths thought of countries competing, ard so forth. Inquisitive: What do you think about the Fair? Mr. Griffith: The Fair is some- thing that is surely worth ? hile. Especially if one had never been to see anything like that. It is about all it could be. John V. Sees Breathless: Oh Mrs. Sees, (after having pursued him madly all over the Fair grounds) what can you tell me about the Fair? Mr. Sees: Seeing the progress of science from the beginning was the real thrill. Most people had more or less appreciated the benefits but never realized how far science had brought us. Still hot and bothered: What was most interesting to you? Mr. Sees: The progress of the races ? as interesting and the touch of the Old World in the foreign villages, especially the Belgian village , was fascinating. The Hall of Religion, with the Chalise of Antioch and model of the temple of Jerusalem, was intensly interesting to any student studying the Bible.

£±3 Century of Progress Interna- tional Exposition commemorates Hhe one-hundredth anniversary of the great city of Chicago ' s rise from a small settlement to the fourth largest city in the world. Here, a fascinating ency- clopedia come to life, is spread before the eyes of the world. Scenes telling of man ' s mastery over nature, with modern Science and Industry playing the leading roles form the engrossing attrac- tion. There ' s bound to be some teachers in this rushing stream of humanity, so look about you and you ' ll undoubtedly see several of our instructors on the bumpy road of knowledge, perhaps all. J. M. Scudder When was that? Mr, Scudder: We were up on the fourth of July. Never have I seen such remarkable exhibitions before. It would almost take people ' s breath away, like a miniature battle. They had a play of the historical events leading up to, and the signing of the declaration. Trying to be funny: Since you were bom on a farm I suppose you liked the Agricultural building! Mr. Scudder: Quite, it and the Transportation buildings. They are the biggest problems of our coun- try today, and such great indus- tries today. Properly subdued: The Horti- cultural — Mr, Scudder: That was most inter- esting to me because of the trop- ical plants and fruits, like lemons and oranges » Relentless: In short, you think,-— Mr, Scudder: That it is wonderful, the beauty and grandeur is over- whelming, C. E. Byers Mr, Byers, you seem terribly excited. What is it all about? Mr. Byers: It is a little water wheel in a building connected with the Horticultural building, the cutest little thing, I make one when I get home. Laughing : That ' s one You of must It ' s must your have hobbies, isn»t it? liked that display, Mr, Byers: I did, intensely. All the flowers, lagoons, sand dunes, aquarium, alpine hill, tropical plants interested me — especially the little water wheel Reporter: What else? Mr. Byers: Of course, the Hall of Science, The Wings of a Century, General Motor ' s Display, Belgium Village, the State Exhibits, and the Travel and Transport building. Well, I really enjoyed the Fair,
