HALL OF EDUCATION / DEMONSTRATION CENTER

The changing goals, methods and tools of education in America are the concern of the exhibitors in this pavilion - for the most part business associated with education. Visitors may see a school of tomorrow, hear prominent Americans discuss problems of the day, listen to classroom exercises and watch modern teaching machines at work. The large building also has a playground area, an audio-visual demonstration center and a public restaurant.

It's hard to think what the builders of this pavilion were thinking. How many people, especially children, would be likely to spend part of their summer vacation in a pavilion about schools? (CD30 Photolab #20)
As it turned out not many people were so interested, and in 1965 the pavilion was re-opened as the "Demonstration Center", which was used to showcase products from a variety of vendors. It was also a failure. (CD6 Set 30 #9)
