Commission, September 1, 1892.)
The paper now submitted is emphatit;;!!!}^ ajirst draft * and should
its general features meet with approval, it must still require careful
revision and some rearrangement before it can be said to be ready for
actual use. The time allowed for its preparation has been very short,
and r have not had sufticient opportunity for conference with certain
experts whose critical revision of the groups with which they are in«li
vidually familiar is essential to the perfection of the plan.
1 am aware that some of the groupings proposed nmy probably be
unsatisfactory to the representatives of special interests, manutVictur
ing or conmicrcial, who will feel anxious to have all of the exhibits in
which they are interested kept together. The textile men, for instance,
may wish to have felt hats exhibited with other articles of felt, rather
than in the department of costume; the w(>ol men may desire a special
collection of wool and (dl its i»roducts; the printing trade may expect
to have printing presses shown by the side of paper and books, rather
than with machinery in motion. In such cases as these, concessions and
changes may be made, for intending exhibitors have rights which must
be carefully^ regarded.
Many millions ofvisitors will see the Exposition, and it isfor the visitors'
interest especially that the objects on exhibition ought to be arranged.
They should be selected and installed, tirst of all, with reference to
attractiveness. Visitors must be drawn from every village in America,
and after coming to Chi( \go must be led to visit the Exposition repeat-
edly, and to examine the displays in as many as i)Ossible of the thoii-

Acknowledgment is also due to Prof. Melvil Dewey, the author of the "Decimal
Classification and Relative Index for the Arrangement of Libraries." His book has
been constantly in my hands for several years, and its great usefulness in the han<l-
ling of books and literary material suggested the desirability of foi'mmg a similar
plan for use iu the arrangement of Exhibition material.

saud classes. First of all, I repeat, rinifors must he induced to come to
the Exposition and to look at the exhil)its. The next thing to he aeeom-
plished is, by means of careful installation and labeling, to ntake each
object teach some useful lesson.
The interest of the exhibitors is identical with that of the managers
in this respect, and their cooperation in this higher class of exhibition
work is indispensable to its snccess.
The classification scheme of every important exhibition of the past
forty years has been stndied for the purpose of embodying in the i)res-
ent plan the best features of all which have preceded it, and it is my
hope that, after this has been modified to meet the special needs of the
coming Exhibition in Chicago, it will prove to be thoroughly available
in practical use.
1 need scarcely remind you that no rules for the construction of ex-
hibition classifications have ever been formulated. Ko two persons can
possibly arrive at the same results in preparing a plan of arrangement,
audit is unlikely that any scheme can ever be fully satisfactory to all.
A ])lan of classification is a matter of compromise and convenience,
aiul the only test of its value is in its practical working.*
An attem])t has been made to present in this plan of classification a
certain logical sequence of ideas. This sequence is perhaps somewhat
obscured by the condonation of many (piite distinct groups in a few
primary divisions, and a general review of the arrangement is there-
fore given.
A primary division into ten gnmps or departments is proposed.
Their composition is shown in a general way below, as follows:
PuiMAliY OK PrODICTIVK ARTS.
1. AgricuHurc and Allied Industries, includiuii'
—
Agriculture, in :i limited sense.
Viticulture.
Horticulture and gardeniug.
*A nnii of rlassificdtioii is uot necessarily -a unit of insiaUaiion. Your officials in
charge of iustalliitious uuiy at any time combine a number of classes, or comliine
all the classes in a division tor i>ur])oses of exliiliitiou. Similar combinations will of
course be made for jury work.
Please uote particularly the possibilities in connection with Department 10, to
which, in the form of ('ollcctirc ExhUiits, the management may assign, for mono-
graphic display, in separate halls or buildings, special subjects lor which such treat-
ment is desired.
When, for any reason, it is decided to remove a given group of objects from the
place where it logically belongs, to some other place where it is more convenient to
display it, it is possible by a system of cross-references in the catalogues and on the
labels to keep its other relationships in the mind of the visitor. Indeed, it is often
desirable to exhibit the same class of objects twice in different relationships.
Cotton in the bale, for instance, is a Ji no I product of agriculture and the raw material
of one of the textile industries, and for purposes of exhibition belongs in both de-
partments, although, ]»ossibly, subject to jury award only where it appears as a
l)rodiict; and there are many similar cases with which you are of course familiar.
Tbe importance of the cross-reference system, then, is very great.

*The subordination of so many important industries under one general head may
at first sight be deemed inadvisable. It should be borne constantly in nund, how-
ever, that a si/stem of elassifieafioii is only a device to faeilitate administration, and that
the subordination of a given subject and the size of the types in "which it is printed
in the classification, have no relation whatever to its relative importance.
tThis grouping may seem inappropriate, but it is that which for forty years has,
for reasons of convenience, Iteen ado])ted by e.Khibitions.

It will be observed that in the sketch of the i>laii of anaiigement
given above, no attemjjt has been made to follow the details of the
seeoudary elassitication as presented in the fornnil i)lan. My idea has
DRAFT OF A CLASSIFICATION FOR THE WORLD's FAIR. 653
been simply to show the relation of the ideas which underlie the main
classitication.
The minor headings may l)e made the basis of an alternative arrange-
ment, which is quite practicable, if the commission should prefer to
adopt a plan with a larger nuDiber of main departments. A rearrange-
ment of the details would be simply an affair of paste and scissors.
Your attention is invited to the proposed adoption of the decimal
si/stem in the numeration of the classes.
Each number used in the classitication will indicate in itself, in the
simplest and clearest manner possible, the class, division, and depart-
ment to which the object designated l)elongs. There are ten divisions
in each group or dtixirfninif, and ten classes in each division, making
one thousand cl<(sses in all.
At first sight this system may seem artificial and not practical. Its
advantages are, however, many and ])ositive, especially when in use by
persons untrained in exhibition administration. It is not by any means
a new idea. A somewhat similar system of class numeration was used
with excellent results in the Philadeli»hia Exhibition of 1876. A simple
illustration of the plan is found in the customary way of numbering the
rooms and floors in large hotels, the numbering of the rooms on the first
floor beginning with 1, those on the second floor 2, and so on.
The use of the decimal system is not, however, an essential feature
of the plan and another method of designating the classes may readily
be substituted.
This plan is purposely more minute and elaborate than that used by
any previous exhibition, in order to call out material that otherwise
might not be sent. If the classification were intended simply for the
installation of material on the floors of the Chicago buildings, this one
is surely fuller than it need be. If, however, the most important func-
tion of a plan of classification is to serve as a. stimulant and a guide to
exhibitors and to show them n'h<(t lind of objects theif can and ought to
send to the Exposition, it is scarcely possible to have it too comprehen-
sive.
It will be noticed that some classes are nuich more minutely subdi-
vided than others. This is usually intentional. Where the details of
a subject are to be found in the cyclo])edias and common treatises, they
are not included here. For instance, the breeds of poultry are not cata-
logued, because it is unnecessary. Sometimes, on the other liand, the
omission is unavoidable, because the author of the classification is
ignorant of the subject and has not as yet been able to find the proper
IJersons to supply the needed information. So far as necessary, addi-
tions and alterations can be made in the next edition of the plan.
Let me say, however, that the classification is intended to be suggestive
rather than exhaustive.
This plan calls for much material and information—historical, statis-
tical, scientific, and educational—which no previous exhibition has
obtained or asked for, I do not believe that private exhibitors will
654 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1891.
undertake to supply any considerable amount of this kind of material,
though much will be done by societies, commercial organizations, and
public-spirited men and women who niay become interested in the
development of certain subjects. I am confident, however, that a
moderate expenditure of money and effort in this direction on the part
of the officers of the Exhibition will produce most satisfactory results.
By no other means can the attractiveness, the educational value, and
the permanent usefulness of the exhibition be so greatly enhanced.
If 1 understand rightly the spirit of the proposed exhibition, it is to
show the history of our continent since its European occupation and its
intiuence upon the history of the world. It is to expound, as far as may
be, the steps of the progress of civilization and its arts in successive
centuries, and in all lands up to the present time and their present
condition; to be, in fact, an illmtrated encyclopedia of eiviUzation. It
is to be so generous in its scope that in its pictorial and literary remains
will he preserved the best record of human cnlture in the last decade of the
nineteenth century. If such is to be the character of the undertak-
ing, it will be necessary to depart very largely from the traditional
methods of previous exhibitions, which have usually been preeminently
industrial.
As a student of museum and exhibition administration for twenty
years, and as commissioner in charge of the exhibit of the United
States at two international exhibitions abroad and officially connected
with all the home exhibitions in which the (lovernmeut has ever taken
part, it has been my privilege to observe the tendencies of public opin-
ion in regard to such matters.
I am satisfied that more is expected of the Chicago Exhibition than
of any previous undertaking of the kind, and that a jironounced de-
partuie from traditional methods and the introduction of features new,
useful and improving are the conditions of a magnificent success.
Since 187G a notable change in the theory and practice of exhibition
administration has taken place. Magnificent as was the success of the
Philadelphia exhibition in its day, if it could be reproduced exactly in
Chicago in 1892, it would probably not be considered at all a remark-
able affair.
The successes of the Paris Exposition of 1889, and the equally re-
markable achievements of the quartet at South Kensington, namely,
the Fisheries Exhibition in 1883, the Health Exhibition in 1881, the
Inventions Exhibition in 1885, and the Colonial and Indian Exhibition
in 1880, as well as of other special exhibitions in the European capitals,
have, it would seem, left little new to be done.
Installation methods are much more elaborate and effective than
ever before; catalogues and labels are more accurate and scholarly.
There has been developed a system of handbooks, manuals, and expert
reports which, after the close of the exhibition, standing on the shelves
of all the great libraries of the world, constitute a lasting monument
of the enterprise. A series of inteinational conferences and assem-
DRAFT OF A CLASSIFICATION FOR THE WORLD's FAIR. 655
blies of experts, bringiiio; together in council wise men of all nations,
were most successfully carried out at Paris. These were in many re-
spects tlie most important features of the exhibition, and were so
regarded by its management.
In the meantime the old system of competitive awards and medals
has been falling into disfavor, just as similar methods are going out of
educational institutions. What was once the chief feature is now only
an incidental one, and, although doubtless still a necessary accompani-
ment of exhibitions, it is one which is usually a source of dissatisfac-
tion to all concerned.
The theatrical features, at one time in favor in exhibitions, are less
eft'ective than in the past; unmeaning and pretentious display is not
advantageous. Stupendous towers, barrels as big as houses, temples
of cigar boxes, or armorial trophies of picks and shovels, though they
have their uses for advertising purposes, and, it may be, for decoration,
are matters of but the slightest importance in an exhibition which is
intended to commemorate the anniversary of a great historical event.
The historical and educational idea is the one which seems to be
most in keeping with the spirit of America at the present time, and no
great exhibition has by any means exhausted the possibilities of effect-
ive work in this direction, wherein seems to lie the chief oi)portunity of
doing something which has not already been magnificently done else-
where.
The public has a lofty ideal for the Columbian Exposition. The
tendency of thought has been well set forth in the admirable letters by
Mr. Edward Atkinson to the New York Tribune on the subject of the
plan of the Woi Id's Columbian Exposition, and in the interest mani-
fested in the essay of M. Berger, the director general of the Paris Ex-
position, recently published in the Century Magazine. The Chautauqua
movement and the National Agricultural Experimental Station enter-
prise illustrate the demand of the public for concrete information, and
that of the highest order.
The visitors to the National Museum in Washington are numbered
by hundreds of tliousauds and come from every portion of the United
States. The Museum is, in a certain way, a permanent exposition of
science and industry. Time after time new features have been intro-
duced, seemingly in advance of the public taste, yet in every case the
people have not (mly appreciated the idea at once and been pleased
with it, but have also shown by their comments and suggestions and
generous aid how further advances might be made in the same direction.
Please allow me to refer once more to the subject of labels and label-
ing. By a label I mean not merely the card attached to a given article,
giving its name and that of its exhibitor : I mean all illustrative and
explanatory matter disidayed in connection with any group of objects,
such as placards, pictures, maps, and books, placed where the visitor
can use them. I once attempted to make a definition of a museum
—
an ideally useful museum—in the following words:
G56 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1801.
'^An efficient educaUonal museum may he described as a colleeiion of
instructive labels, each illustrated by a irell-selected specimen.''''*
Tlie same principle, with obviously necessary modiflcations, may be
said to be ap])lical)le in the administration of exhibitions.
.4 live exhibition is one in Avhi<;h each group of objects is made intel-
ligible and instructive by the constant presence of a staff of experts
to explain the teachings <»f the objects on view, and by an effective sys-
tem of labels and explanatory placards.
The exhibition of the future will be an exhibition of ideas rather than
of objects^ and nothivf/ will be deemed u-orthy (f admission to its halls
which has not some lirimjy inspiring thought behind it, and which is not
capable of teaching some raluable lessonA
A leader in the educational work of Americai writes to me iu the fol-
lowing words:
In tlit) liiwtoi'y of uo jiiitioii bt-forc lias there been siuli a thiist for knowledge on
the part of the great masses of the people, such a, high ap]ireeiation of its value, and
such ability and readiness to acquire and use it. No other peo})le get so much of
education from what they read and see. No other nation has so large a body of cit-
izens of high intelligence; never before has the jjublic T)een so willing, and indeed,
so anxious to receive with respect and use with intelligence the information which
the thought and experience of the age are furnishing; never before have that
thought and experience had so much to give. Let the Exposition be a disjday not
merely of material products, but of the teachings of science and experience as re-
gards their value, importance, aiul use.
. The Exposition should he not merely a show, a fair, or a collossal shop, but also
and i)reeminently, an exposition of the i)rinciples which underlie our national and
individual welfare, of our material, intellectual, and moral status; of the elements
of our weakness and our strength, of the progress we have made, the plane on which
we live, and the ways in which we shall rise higher. It should be an exposition of
knowledge, illustrated by the material objects shown. It should teach not only to
our people, but to the world, what a young republic, with all the crudeness of youth,
but heir to the experience of the ages, has done in its brief past, is doing in the
present, and hopes to do in the greater future for its people ami for mankind.
These are lofty i«leals, l)ut I believe that those of the principal pro-
moters of the Chicago Ex])osition, and of the members of the World's
Columbian Commission, are not less comprehensive.
The occasion is an inspiring one, ami it nuiy well be that the world
will witness iu Chicago the greatest of international exhibitions.
Very respectfully,
G. Brown Goode.

t The lal)or and thought required will be very great, and the exi)en8e will be not
inconsiderable. Not only the advice but the active cooperation of the best talent of
the country will be necessary. Services of this character will be reciuired, not only
in bringing the material together, but still more in its installation, .-md in the prepa-
ration of adequate labels, handbooks and catalogues.

t Under wheat, Assistant Secretary Willits, of the Uepartment of Agriculture, sug-
gests an exhibit of varieties grown in this country and other parts of the world,
aceompauied by data which will bring out the effects of climate, soil, culture, and
other conditions upon the size, shape, color, weight, hardness, chemical composition,
and other properties of the grain which decide its value for milling, cooking, and
nourishment. The ultimate object would be to determine and illustrate for different
varieties the quantity and quality of produce, changes under intlnence of varied
conditions, and the adaptations of varieties to different localities.

500. The History of Foods. Literature. Folk-lore.
Geographical distril>ution of s])ecial foods.
Food constitutes the largest of our agricultural productions, of the living expenses
of the people, and of our export to Europe.
The agricultural i)roduction of the United States is one-sided. Our food supply
for man and beast contains an excess of the materials Avhich make fat and serve the
body for fuel, and is relatively deficient in the nitrogenous compounds which make
*Nos. 51 to 56 may include adulterations and methods of adulterating. With the
prepared products, the machinery and methods used in preparation may be shown.
700 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1891.
lilood, muscle, and bone. The fanner loses because liis products do not tit the de-
mauds of the home and f(ueign markets. At the same time our national dietary has
become one-sided, so that though we live upon a high nutritive plane, our food might
be better fitted to our needs.
Wage workers and ]>eople of nic erate incomes generally spend and must sjtend
more than half their earnings for food. They do not understand either the relation
of the nutritive value of food to its cost or its physiological eti'ects. The result is
great waste in the purchase and use of food, loss of money, and injury to health.
The agricultural production and exchange of this country and Europe are out of
balance. European nations do not avail themselves fully of the food supplies of
Avliich we have too much and they not enough. This is illustrated in their ojiposi-
tion to American meats. It is as unfortunate for them as for us. The laboring classes
in Europe are underfed. To give them the bodily strength and vigor which charac-
terize our own working people, they need the very nutriment which we produce in
such large excess.
The research of later years is showing clearly how the products of our farms may
be better adapted to the deuuind of home and forciign markets. It is bringing the
information which the people need to help them to tit their diet to the demand of
health and purse. It is also showing why foreign nations should, in the interest of
their poorly fed masses, remove the barriers they now oppose to our meats and other
food products.
It is eminently fitting that these things be illustrated at the Exposition, which is
tt) be for the education of both our own people and those of other coinitries.
