REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
THE MUSEUM EXHIBIT AT JAMESTOWN. 
All of the exhibits at Jamestown were under the supervision of 
the State Museum, except the historical, which was prepared by 
Francis B. Lee, and the geological, which was under the supervision 
of Dr. Henry B. Iviimmel. The exhibits were among the best shown 
at the exposition and received the highest and most rewards of any 
state. 
All of the Museum exhibits were in the largest exhibit building. 
The Comparative Educational Exhibit was the first of its kind ever 
shown at any exposition. It was a most instructive display and was 
studied carefully by hundreds of teachers and educators. Its purpose 
was to show just what advancement had been made by the public 
schools of New Jersey in the past 31 years. It consisted of school 
exhibits shown at Philadelphia in 1876, New Orleans in 1884, Chi¬ 
cago in 1893, Buffalo in 1901, South Carolina in 1902 and new work 
for the Jamestown Exposition in 1907. 
The importance of the State Museum was again shown by these 
exhibits, which were the best the State ever made at an exposition, 
and the cost, as shown by the Secretary of the Exposition Commission, 
Gen. Lewis T. Bryant, was only about $3,500. If the exhibits had 
been newly collected and new cabinets and show cases purchased, it 
would have cost at least $25,000.
