- The Hall of Education for the New York Worlds' Fair tells the story of American education -- past, present, and future. The handsome 90,000-sq. ft. pavilion is flanked by magnificent two-story concrete pylons. It is dedicated to the romance of learning in all forms and to the applied principles of universal education in a democratic society. Attention is given to new developments in educational processes; to public and private institutions of learning; to professional scientists and commercial educational firms; and to the media of communication through which knowledge is transmitted to the public.

- The Hall of Education houses the Portland Cement Association's architectural exhibit on the school of the future.
