REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 57 
to avoid duplication of material as far as possible; to make 
the exhibit mean something—such, for example, as the com¬ 
plete illustration of the curriculum of the schools; and to in¬ 
troduce as much specialistic work in the various studies as it 
may be possible to do. I should like to give the educational 
exhibit a somewhat different stamp than the stereotyped 
form that has hitherto been followed at every exposition.” 
COUNTY AND CITY BOARDS OF EXHIBIT. 
That the work may be properly distributed, it is recom¬ 
mended that each county and city superintendent associate 
with him several of his leading principals and teachers as a 
County or City Board of Exhibit, of which he is the official 
head. Each superintendent will subdivide his Board of Ex¬ 
hibit into as many special committees as he may deem advis¬ 
able. All expense incurred in the issue of circulars will be 
borne by the commission. 
It might also be well for each County or City Board of Ex¬ 
hibit to assign to certain schools the line of work in which they 
excel, and have them prepare only such work. This will 
insure proper concentration of effort, and secure an excellent 
and complete exhibit from each county and city, without re¬ 
quiring a large amount of unnecessary work. The Boards of 
Exhibit are expected to assist the superintendents in the se¬ 
lection of work to be sent to the State committee at Trenton. 
All work, except drawing, should be forwarded before Feb¬ 
ruary 15th, 1904. 
Work that is to be shown in leaf cabinets,*on the walls, or on 
draw shelves, should be delivered in correct form to be mounted 
on pasteboard card, 22 x 28. 
The work of soliciting, preparing, collecting, classifying and 
passing upon the work of the schools in the counties and cities 
will be left entirely to the county and city superintendents 
and their assistants. 
In case a superintendent wishes to mount any portion of 
his exhibit on cards, he should advise the department at Tren¬ 
ton of such desire, and specify the amount and kind of work 
to be so mounted.
