46 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
nearly every school doing this work being represented. It 
gave a very accurate idea of what New Jersey is doing in this 
line. The State may well feel proud of such work. 
The Art and Drawing Department had work from a large 
number of schools, and contained as good specimens as could 
be found anywhere. 
There were over six hundred photography consisting of ex¬ 
terior and interior views of school houses; classes at work, and 
of work done in the schools. 
The Historical Cabinet attracted much attention. It con¬ 
sisted of photographs and open sketches, etc., of points and 
places of historical interest in New Jersey, with descriptions of 
them by the pupils. 
The single exhibit, that attracted most attention, and was 
visited by the largest number of persons of any exhibit in the 
building, was the “Illustrated Elementary Music Charts,’’ 
which was prepared by the Music and Drawing Department of 
the public schools of the city of Trenton. The work was done 
in grades below the High School. This exhibit must be 
seen to be appreciated. It was the only exhibit of the kind 
in the whole World’s Fair, and it received a medal. 
The Bureau of Information established by the State Board 
of Education for placing teachers in the schools of New Jersey, 
with no expense to the teachers or school boards, had an ex¬ 
hibit which was studied by many. Similar bureaus will be 
established in other States, counties and cities. New Jersey, 
as in other school matters, took the lead in this. It has been 
in operation about six years and has been very successful, 
several hundred teachers being placed each year. 
THE WORK. 
It would be hard to say which school had the best work, 
but it is certain that all did well. New Jersey had one of the 
best Educational Exhibits the world has ever seen, and every 
true Jersey man can feel proud of it. 
This exhibit will, on its return to Trenton, be placed in the 
Educational Department of the State Museum, where it can 
be seen by those who wish to examine it.
