Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Guide to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition: At the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, April 30th to December 1st, 1904 Whether the United States, and especially St. Louis and the West, will derive from the Exposition material benefits of a money value equal to its cost, is a question, sometimes asked by people who like to judge things by the "profit and loss" test. The richest and most universal benefits to be expected from a great, Exposition - its educational and moral benefits can not be measured in terms of dollars and cents. They are legible only in general progress, in the radiance of home life, the halo of the national life, the intelligence and magnanimous efforts of the people. In commemorating one of the most important events in the life of our Union, this Exposition has already rendered an inestimable public service by awakening a universal popular interest in the story of the Louisiana acquisition and its glorious results. It has caused a gathering here of all the nations of the earth, each bringing comprehensive representations of the best productions of its arts and industries, its newest and noblest achievements, its latest discoveries, its triumphs of skill and science, its most approved solutions of social problems. The far-reaching effect of such a vast display of mans best works on the intelligent and emulous minds of fifty or sixty millions of students, is beyond computation. Man´s competitive instinct, the spontaneous lever that arouses human activity and exalts human effort, directing it to higher standards of excellence, will surely work with a high potential current here. The impulse to excel the best and improve the latest improvements, operates in the United States with an aggressive force seldom exhibited in other countries. Its effects have been seen in the innumerable inventions and progressive steps following every great Exposition. This one will be an incomparable seminary of ideas and inspirations for people of all classes and avocations, and no one can doubt that such seed planted in our soil will bring forth a rich and abundant fruitage. Fifty-three foreign governments are participating grandly in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Our Federal Government, and all the states of our great Union, are making here unparalleled displays of their boundless resources, their industrial progress and their ever-rising social status. The world has never before had so perfect a school for teaching the noble lessons of human worth and human brotherhood. From this school many millions of Americans will return to their homes, elated with a better appreciation of humanity at large and a far higher and prouder estimate of their own country and countrymen.
