Writing from the St. Louis
World's Fair to the Oregon Teachers
Monthly, H. S. Lyman, of Astoria,
thus speaks of the Benton County
contribution to the Educational Ex
bioit. Deserving of special notice
also ia the collection of polished
wood from Benton county. This
was a particular idea of Supterin
tendent Denman's, and has been
most successful executed. As nice
ly polu hod specimens of oak; black
walnut, Oregon grown, and other
trees as may be shown at the fair,
have been prepared by Benton
county pupils, and give a great hint
what may be d me by teachers to
interest and educate pupils of use
and beauty immediaty about them.
Oregonians should be and will be,
woodworkers for a hundred years to
come, and probably for all tiinej as
within one generation of men the
fine woods, such as maple, oak, ash,
walnut and every other tree known
to a temperate climate, may be
grown up to timber.
