on, the
value of the commodity or product was decided and the usefulness
of the same and comparisons made with similar exhibits,
consultation in jury meetings, where the many good points of the
exhibits were presented and discussed, and a final decision was
reached by vote of the jury as a whole.

The various machines were for the manufacture of women's
habiliments, with the much-needed garment-drafting machine,
which, if not invented by women, was at their suggestion and
creation of the demand for supplies.

The up-to-date paper patterns, wax figures, papier-mache forms,
milliners' findings, and sewing machines made the grand whole.
The finished products were the marvelous creations of her hands,
for, as truly said, man did invent these machines, but women
work and bring forth the grand finale, therefore one is not
complete without the other. In all things it takes the good work
of men and women to complete the whole. And this applies to jury
work as well.

From the writer's experience in expositions up to date she would
approve the combination of the John Boyd Thatcher individual
judge and diploma systems, together with the bronze, silver,
gold, and "grand prix," which would be preferable from an
educational standpoint and also to show to the world what the
medal was given for. Also, the group or petit jury doing the
work should combine with a larger jury, and perhaps a court of
appeal, it being impossible for anyone in a higher court to know
the why and the wherefore of the workers of the petit jury; and
as far as the writer could learn it was the concensus of opinion
of both exhibitors and jurors, as heretofore stated, that the
opportunity to hold to the last was more preferable.

As an observer of the workings of world's fairs from the
Centennial at Philadelphia, and also being closely allied with
other great fairs, having visited same since that time and being
a judge heretofore, will repeat the general remark of exhibitors
and judges of former expositions. The consensus of opinion was
that "no world's fair was complete without a jury composed of
men and women, a just representation," working in unison and
perfect accord with only one end in view--justice to all.

Group 61 (combined with 53, as above), Mrs. A.G. Harrow, Ottumwa, Iowa,
Juror.
