METHODS OF REPRESENTATION. 
The following suggestions indicate some of the methods 
that may be used in preparing the exhibits: 
(a) Literature. —There should be included in this exhibit 
such books as the following: School laws, government and 
State reports, history and present condition of school systems, 
and of individual institutions; text-books and original con¬ 
tributions made by professors or students to each department 
of human knowledge; monographs on special topics. To these 
should be added programmes, rules and regulations, cata¬ 
logues and other printed matter that would make the informa¬ 
tion contained in the exhibit as complete as possible. 
(b) Statistical Charts, Diagrams and Tables. —No part 
of the exhibit will be of more interest and value to visitors 
than the graphic charts. .Through graphics the important 
facts in regard to population, the number and kind of schools, 
the number of teachers, the number and age of pupils, the 
cost of instruction, and many other educational conditions, 
may be presented in a way so clear and striking that visitors 
can understand them at a glance. These graphic charts should 
be supplemented by statistical tables that will help to explain 
their meaning. 
(c) Models; —Illustrated drawings and models will be very 
effective in showing the material equipment of educational 
institutions— i. e., buildings, with their furniture and fittings; 
play-grounds, apparatus used for instruction; and also results 
of original investigation along various lines.
