Excerpt from Expositions of Great Pictures The boy is enjoying the well-known privilege of an only child. He is sitting on his mother's knee as upon a throne. He sits there as if no one had a right to it but himself. He is as silent as his mother, and as lost in thought. He looks older than he is, gazing upon you with that seriousness which is often to be found in a child's face. It is only when you notice his feet that you can guess his age. He has still the habit of playing with his toes as he did when he was a babe. His size, beauty, and quiet consciousness of power, foreshadow his increase in Wisdom and stature, and his growth in favour with God and man.

Excerpt from The Galleries of the Exposition: A Critical Review of the Paintings, Statuary and the Graphic Arts in the Palace of Fine Arts at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition I imagine that practically all true painters would rather do their pictures under and for a given physical condition, to support and be sup ported by architecture; but with the unfortunate present-day elimination of paintings from most architectural problems, most artists have to paint their pictures for an imaginary condition. The present production of paintings has become absa lutely unmindful of the true function of a painting, which is to decorate in collaboration with the other arts - architecture and sculpture.

Excerpt from The Dream City: A Portfolio of Photographic Views of the World's Columbian Exposition; With an Introduction Of all the expositions which have gone before, no one has come so near the ideal of an international exposition, in the wealth of its artistic features, as this. All the greater and lesser countries of the world entered into the work. Grouped in the pavilions - which afforded space for the twenty different national sections of the Department of Fine Arts - were the products of every school and branch of art, which, arranged in adjacent galleries, afforded the student an opportunity for comparative study. The strongly characteristic work of the Norwegian and Swedish schools, with their faithful rendition of color to our people a new idea of the standing of the Scandinavian artists. Russian art was shown for almost the first time. English pictures, of which too little is known by Americans, were presented in a way to convey a just idea of the beauties of the British school. The French, Dutch, German, Belgian, Italian, Austrian and Spanish sections contained rare examples - some of which are reproduced in this work - contributed by the leading artists or sent from national museums. The contributions of American artists, whether displayed in the galleries assigned to the United States section or in the decoration of the buildings, have asserted their right to be considered among the artistic achievements of the time. They are on the same high plain as the best works of our architects, as exemplified in the great exhibit buildings.

The parade ot' the school children was on October 10, when twenty-five thousand boys and girls marched in line, with a precision which one audacious acribbler 3y; was greater than that of the regular troops in the parade of the following Wednesday.
