Education Exhibits at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915. Bulletin, 1916, No. 1

Overview & Synopsis

The purpose of this bulletin is to present, for the benefit of school officials and others interested in education, a brief description of the education exhibits at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, held in San Francisco during 1915. Exhibits described herein are almost entirely limited to those that are educational in the narrower sense of the word--having to do with schools or methods, processes, and systems of education. About half the exhibits in the Palace of Education and Social Economy were devoted to education; a few not relating wholly to education had educational aspects that have been discussed in part in this bulletin. Contents include: (1) Four United States Government agencies; (2) State exhibits from 12 States and 1 Territory; (3) Two city exhibits; (4) Entries from 5 foreign nations; and (5) Exhibits of 15 organizations and institutions. The present bulletin is intended to afford a general statement of these education exhibits. A detailed report of the exhibits in agricultural and rural education is given separately, in Bulletin No. 2, 1916. An index and bibliography are included. (Contains 9 footnotes.)
