One objective of the fair was to inventory all the items that Morocco imported from Europe so that the French could plan to provide these directly in the future.[1] In addition scholars used the fair to undertake studies on all the resources that Morocco could offer, including her craft industries, and to better organise their exploitation.[1] The scholars concluded that earlier Moroccan pieces were of better quality.[2] They considered that the height of the craft industry had passed with modern items showing a decline in quality of design, raw materials, pigmentation and skill of the craftsmen.[6] Encouraged by examples of work produced by Moroccan children in the new grammar and vocational schools (displayed at the fair by the General Administration of Public Instruction), the French authorities believed that a new generation of craftsmen could be trained at such establishments.[6] They subsequently ran adult education programmes and apprenticeship schemes at the schools, in which Moroccans were taught to copy older examples of craftware collected by French specialists.[6] Two "Inspection Offices of the Native Craft Industry" were established at Fes and Rabat with attached museums and workshops to serve as centres for new Moroccan craftware production.[6] Replicas of older items were housed in the new museums and also sent to exhibitions in Morocco and abroad where they were offered for sale.[6]
