REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 4 7 
The Educational Exhibit received a grand prize, ten or 
more gold, eight silver and several bronze medals. It was 
considered the best of its kind at the St. Louis Exposition. 
HOW THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT WAS PREPARED 
AND INSTALLED FOR ST. LOUIS. 
It was the last of October, 1903, that the State Superin¬ 
tendent isued the first circular of information to the Countv 
and City Superintendents, that the Louisiana Purchase Expo¬ 
sition Commission for New Jersey, had asked him to prepare 
an Educational Exhibit for the World’s Fair at St. Louis, and 
that he had chosen Mr. S. R. Morse as Director of the Ex¬ 
hibit. 
He also informed them that other circulars of instruction 
would be sent to them later. In all seven circulars were sent 
out to the superintendents and teachers from the State Su¬ 
perintendent. . 
Circular No. 3 with lists of Committees, and giving full in¬ 
structions how to prepare the work and when it should be 
completed, was sent out November 20th, 1903. This gave 
the schools only about two months to prepare the work for the 
exhibit. 
It will be seen by this circular that the work was to be pre¬ 
pared, selected and returned to the Department of Public In¬ 
struction at Trenton, on or before the 15th day of February, 
1904. 
It then had to be arranged, selected and mounted on cards, 
or bound in book form, put in portfolios, or framed to be dis¬ 
played in the Exhibit at St. Louis.
