REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 43 
all persons from whom specimens of various sorts were obtained 
for this would necessitate the listing of practically all the 
miners, cement manufacturers, quarrymen, clay miners, and 
many clay manufacturers of the State. Thanks are due to 
all who in any way assisted by supplying material. Especial 
mention should be made, however, of the kindness of Colonel 
Washington A. Roebling, who loaned a portion of his valuable 
mineral collection and who greatly assisted the preparation 
of the exhibit by placing at the disposal of the Survey ample 
storage and work room. 
EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT. 
The space alloted for the installation of the New Jersey 
Educational Exhibit, 36x28 feet, was altogether too small for 
the proper display of the immense amount of school work re¬ 
ceived from the schools of the State. Application was made 
to the Exposition authorities for additional space, but the de¬ 
mands of the other States and of foreign countries made it 
impossible for them to increase our allotment. As all the 
space in the Palace of Education was assigned in the ratio 
of the amount of money appropriated for educational exhibits 
by each of the several States and countries, we were at a mani¬ 
fest disadvantage. Notwithstanding our inadequate space, 
New Jersey secured her full proportion on this basis together 
with a liberal additional allotment, because of her established 
reputation in the preparation and installation of educational 
exhibits. 
The New Jersey Commission limited our educational ex¬ 
hibit to an expenditure of $6,000, the Massachusetts Commis¬ 
sion was allowed $40,000, the Missouri Commission $60,000, 
and other States appropriated comparatively liberal amounts. 
Though some of them were allotted from two to six times the 
space secured by New Jersey, we displayed from two to six 
times the amount of school work. 
The educational Pavilion and furniture were manufactured 
by the New Jersey School and Church Furniture Company of 
Trenton, N. J. This company also manufactured over twenty- 
five hundred of the New Jersey Educational Cabinets, used in 
other exhibits, in the Palace of Education.
