Item of Interest

On June 12 the Greater Texas Pan American Exposition at Dallas, Texas, which had its successful first season last year, from June through November, as the Texas Centennial, opened its doors to continue through October, 1937. When inviting representatives of The Christian Science Monitor to reopen its building, officials of the Exposition indicated that they wanted it very much, and that they recognized its influence for good upon the Exposition during its first season.

Housed in an attractive pavilion provided by the Christian Scientists of Texas and near-by states, and by friends elsewhere, and especially sponsored and attended by church members of Dallas, the Monitor exhibit last year was visited by over one hundred thousand persons, not counting the fifteen hundred responsible for its conduct, showing an average of a little more than five hundred visitors a day.

The pavilion, facing the only lagoon on the grounds, houses the only newspaper exhibit within the Exposition, and also an attractive and restful reading room. There all the authorized or approved literature on Christian Science may be read. In the exhibit room, the Christian Science textbook, including the edition in Braille, and other works by Mary Baker Eddy, including those in Braille, are displayed, and much interest is shown in this; also, in the exhibit room Christian Science literature may be purchased and subscriptions entered for the Monitor. Experience has shown that this unique international daily newspaper of good news and human interest has been introduced to many visitors for the first time at this Exposition. A news-projecting machine. giving information about the policies of the Monitor, holds the visitor's attention for about three minutes.
