concentrate efforts on the fain ing arts arf and educational departments department uok however neglecting the other depart ments mente but in view of the fact that we can excel in thew theme departments depart mento I 1 think that we should devote most moat of our energy to the things we can do to the best beat advantage consulting with the chief of after and ancl with other state officials departments I 1 am decidedly dt of the opinion should make our principal exhibit that we buildings and in the I 1 department ex exhibit hibit as we make in our own such building to be mos mostly aly of a decorative character this recommendation after I 1 make careful investigation and in the most and find that not only sible possible og P of departments at chicago chief B the this ibis course but the officials of advise and territories hi have tva come states other conclusion to the a same ame exhibits hibits if placed in the department I 1 the buildings will be properly ment nt
