52 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
carry out our plan of exhibit. The contract for the enclosure 
and general equipment of the New Jersey Department has 
been awarded and we are assured of facilities for making an 
advantageous display. As no locality has a monopoly of 
talent and opportunity, and as a State exhibit should be 
thoroughly representative in character, the interest of each 
school board and teacher should be enlisted, and the best 
material secured from each school in the State that it is capa¬ 
ble of producing. The most valuable results of preparing an 
exhibit for a world’s exposition are its effects upon our youth 
in the enlargement of mental horizon, the stimulation of 
patriotism and local and state pride, and the interest aroused 
in all lines of school work. Benefits that will tell for good in 
the subsequent history of both school and pupil. 
The far better opportunity afforded us for preparation and 
display of material at St. Louis than at Buffalo, and your 
prompt, cheerful effective and well-nigh remarkable response 
to our belated, eleventh-hour appeal for a State exhibit at 
the Pan-American Exposition, warrant us in anticipating 
new laurels at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
