"art rooms."

The various rooms throughout the building were decorated murally and
otherwise in such color tones, draperies, etc., as to make one
harmonious with the other. Each department, in addition to its other
features, had specially designed Smyrna rugs in color and design to
match.

Pennsylvania, in the allotment of space for her education exhibit,
received one of the most desirable plots in the Educational Building.
The booth was one of the most attractive in the building, and was in
harmony with its purpose. The exhibit was almost entirely from the
public schools, including work from the kindergarten, the grades, and
the high school. The normal schools and the soldiers' orphans schools,
which are a part of the public school system in Pennsylvania, were also

plans and drawings in full of model rural school buildings; evolution of
the schoolhouses, showing the first log building, its successors until
the modern school structure is reached, and noted places and buildings
in Pennsylvania history. The State soldiers' orphans schools had an
interesting and attractive exhibit of photographs of their buildings,
grounds, pupils, and shops with work going on. The industrial Indian

were severally noted.
