Description: "A rather good view of the city of Washington. Union Station is shown, both the exterior and from within the train shed. Through one of its arches can be seen the dome of the Capitol. The President addresses a joint session of Congress. The Congressional restaurants are pictured, and the Lincoln memorial is seen. The exterior of the White House is pictured, and the new Supreme Court Building. In the Department of the Interior Building we visit the Bureau of Standards. Machines test the wearing qualities of shoe leather and the elasticity of silk stockings. Before the Treasury stands a statue of Alexander Hamilton. Within an engraver cuts the die used in the printing of banknotes. An excellent picture. Highly recommended for use from the 6th grade through senior high school to discuss civic life as related to government economics." Advisory committee
