5 b REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 
(d) Apparatus and Appliances for Instruction. —All 
apparatus which illustrates a new method, or shows the latest 
development or new application of an important educational 
principle, and was invented at, or is peculiar to, an institution, 
should be exhibited. The commercial sections will display 
all varieties of geographical apparatus, laboratory materials 
and instruments of precision. 
(e) Photographs. —Photographs should constitute a very 
important part of the educational exhibit. In an address 
which Commissioner William T. Harris delivered in 1898, on 
this subject, he said: 
‘ ‘The photograph has come more and more into requisition. 
It may show the school architecture at a glance, and also the 
personnel of teachers and pupils. Photographs of interiors 
may show the furniture and apparatus. An exhibition of 
photographs, showing every school building in the State, with 
its pupils and teachers in front of the buildings, would be the 
most unique attraction ever presented at an international 
exposition, for it would show the countenance, stature and cos¬ 
tume of the pupils and teachers, and the degree of importance 
which the community placed upon the school by its costliness 
and improvements.” 
(/) Pupils’ Work. —Literary, scientific, mechanical and 
artistic. An exhibit of pupils’ work may be made to repre¬ 
sent the work of a school with considerable clearness and 
fidelity; but, in order to do this, it must be honestly prepared 
and intelligently labeled. Very often exhibits of the written 
work of pupils are almost worthless as representation of the 
methods used, and the results obtained, because they show 
nothing of what has been done to prepare the pupil to produce 
the written work. Bound volumes pf work arranged by years 
or grades, and illustrating fully the curriculum, are the solid, 
scientific and indispensable portions of an exhibit. 
The following is taken from a letter of Howard J. Rogers, 
Chief of Department of Education, under date of July 16th, 
1903: 
‘ ‘I shall grant the State of New Jersey floor space. You 
will be responsible entirely for the fitting up of this floor space 
—provide your own installation, partitions, booths, &c. I am 
asking those who have charge of the various State exhibits
