10 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
quently, the Curator was instructed to prepare them. An account 
of these exhibits is given in another part of this Report. 
It should be known that, by having a State Museum of this 
kind where the exhibits from the past Expositions are preserved, 
the expense to the State for making such exhibits has been very 
small compared with former exhibits. It is acknowledged that 
the exhibits of the State Museum at Jamestown were the best of 
their kind ever made by this State. This was done at a saving of 
many thousand dollars when compared with the former exhibits, 
and yet in the matter of awards we received as many or more 
than at other Expositions. 
It has been our contention that these exhibits besides being a 
great benefit to the State as an educator, are also a great money 
saver to the State in preparing exhibits for the national exhibi- 
tions in which the State partcipates, as has been demonstrated in 
the preparation of the exhibit for the Jamestown Exposition. 
Too much credit cannot be given to the New Jersey Jamestown 
Ter-Centennial Exposition Commission, especially to its Secre- 
tary, Col. Lewis T. Bryant, for their cordial support and in 
making these exhibits a grand success. 
We also have to express our appreciation of the cordial assist- 
ance given us by all the school officers in the State in preparing 
the Comparative Educational Exhibit for the Jamestown Exposi- 
tion, and we feel that it has been a great benefit to the schools of 
the State.
