Literature Relating to Staten Island ioi

Nash's Historic Richmond 4 



Staten Island is fortunate in having many old buildings and 

 sites of historic interest, and the present pamphlet is intended to 

 point these out. One is conducted from place to place in our 

 island, and a numbered paragraph corresponding to a like num- 

 ber on the map is devoted to each old home or fort or cemetery. 

 One hundred and thirteen places are mentioned. Under " No. I, 

 Borough Hall," the room of the Staten Island Association of 

 Arts and Sciences is referred to, where the only milestone known 

 to exist on the island is preserved. A note on page 24 is of 

 much interest as an expression of opinion on the early settlement 

 of the Island and the Rapaelje family.

The Staten Island Museum as an Aid to School Work 5 



In this article the author calls attention to the progressive 

 growth of museums and to differences between the older type of 

 museums and the more modern museum. He states that the aim 

 of the Staten Island museum is to make the exhibits such that 

 they may tell their own story and have a sustained interest and at 

 the same time prove instructive. These points are clearly dis- 

 cussed and aptly illustrated by concrete examples. The article 

 should make a strong appeal to intelligent pupils to visit the 

 museum and see the interesting and instructive exhibits.
