Our Educational Display was the best and most complete ever made, and
was very much the best exhibit of the kind at the Seattle Exposition.
It was collected and superintended by Mr. Robert Furlong of San Rafael,
an expert in this line of work, and embraced a representative showing
of every department of California's educational system from the
kindergarten to the university, not omitting the libraries and private
educational institutions. There could be only one criticism to this
department and that was its crowded condition, as there was too much
material for the space that could be allowed for it. In an exhibit of
products, quantity can be reduced without material detriment, but if
one sample of an educational exhibit is left out, the work perhaps of
some fond son or daughter whose parents may come looking for it, there
is likely to be trouble. Nearly all portions of California contributed
to this Department, making the display representative in every sense.
