THERE is something helpful and inspiring for every one at the Exposition. Said Vice Presldent Marshall recently: “Whoever can, even at a sacrifice of something which for the moment appears necessary, should come to aee a real work of art never equaled, even by a mirage. If there be any one In America with a thirst for knowledge and for beauty and a longing for a liberal education, such a one can obtain it here. “This Is the university of the world. It has a chair fully endowed to meet the wants and needs of each. The eye, the ear, the mind, the heart, the soul, each may have its horizon here enlarged. I came to bear a message. I remain to become a student. I leave the feet of this Gamaliel of all expositions with regret.” And Miss Helen Keller, who, as all know. Is both blind and deaf, having acquired the faeulty of speech, although she has never heard any one speak, said of her visit to the Exposition that it was the most inspiring period of her life.

The visitor from whatever realm here enters into his native land.” Apart from its costly and comprehensive displays, the great Exposition is an Inspiration In itself. In Its architectural beauty the Panama-Pacific International Exposition surpasses any of its predecessors. At night the great Tower of Jewels stands out satinwhite, sparkling with a thousand changing colors, as batteries of searchlights play upon this pyramidal monument, the loftiest structure at the Exposition and as tall as the average thir-

ty-five story city block. The coloring of the Exposition, the decorative lighting at night, the sculpture and the landscaping are all the work of foremost men In their respective fields.
