New Toek at the Woeld's CoLUMBiAiir Exposition. 



object of the exhibit was not primarily scientific nor to show the one 

 right way of doing any one thing, but to call the attention of the 

 people to the importance of the questions involved. The very failures 

 of the exhibit will perhaps be more stimulating than its successes, since 

 they will open the door to criticism and discussion. 



The food experiment certainly accomplished one result. Hundreds 

 of people from all over the United States found out that it is not 

 ibeoessary to spend over fifty-four cents per day to feed a family of five 

 and to keep them in good health. The less we spend for food the 

 more we can spend for those things which can minister to the higher 

 needs of ourselves and others. There is no question but what more 

 and better can be done on fifty-four cents per day than was done in 

 this experiment. It remains for those interested to show just how 

 and what.
