Show THE SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION So much greater bas been the de-man de-man for space and exhibit room at the San Diego 1915 Exposition, than wa apprehended by the city, when the project waa first launched, that President D. C. Collier and the Hoard of Exposition directors have asked the city to vote an additional million-dollar bond Issue, and the messure I warmly seconded by the City Council and the entire population. It bas been found necessary to erect eight additional building, besides the ten first planned by the directors, In, addition to which an Immense stadium la to be constructed In llalhoa park, otjpnble of accommodating tbe .largest convention and other gathering. The ExH)sitfon, which It wa at first thought, would be largely an affair af-fair of the Southweat b grown so In favor with eastern state and foreign for-eign countries, that It scope has broadened to world magnitude In a few brief months, and Han Diego wltf not hesitate to pour all Jhe money necessary Into the project to make It worthy of all the world expects of it a a host oin 1913. Much of he popularity of the San Diego 1915 Exposition Is attributed to the plan of President Collier to discard dis-card the archaic world fair theme of product, and usher In the new and more far-reaching plan of showing the processes by which the products come Into being. Tbe old plan consists merely of showing a colossal aggregation of products, which, while they may fill the spectator with awe at their vaat-ness. vaat-ness. teach him nothing as to tbelr history or production. Tbe old plan contains practically nothing of an educational edu-cational value. President Collier' plan, which will be followed Just as closely as possible at the San Diego 1915 Exposition, will show the process of production of each country' exhibit, with It native worker, work-er, In a reproduction of tbelr home surrounding. Tbe vast educational and entertainment aide and scope of San Diego way over the obsolete plan will be s-en st a glance, and tbe fact recognized that wblle everything worthy wor-thy of tbe old way is retained, the exposition ex-position Is given an entirely new rend and theme. |
