in connection with it. For the first few days of the exhibit, there was 
merely a childish interest displayed in the pictures, bears and sledges, 
but after a story hour was devoted to a description of Eskimo life, the 
children seemed to have an intelligent appreciation of the exhibit, and

marked. 
Similar collections have been prepared to illustrate the ordinary 
life of the Chinese, of the native Filipinos and of the Indians of the 
northwest coast of America and are ready for distribution.
