REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 61 
endorsed thereon the name of school, name of principal, sub¬ 
ject of study and year of course. This will enable the classi¬ 
fication to be made at headquarters with comparatively little 
trouble. 
IX. Statement of Teacher. —Before sending them to the city 
or county superintendent, each teacher should make a careful 
statement to precede each set of papers. This statement 
should be made on papar of the same size and quality as that 
used by the pupils, so that it may be bound as a preface 
thereto. It should set forth briefly the general subject of the 
examination, the year of the course and the questions or topics 
submitted. Sample blanks of teacher’s statement will be 
furnished on application. 
X. Honesty of Pupils' Work .—Teachers and school officers 
should use every reasonable precaution to secure absolutely 
honest work. The chief value of an exhibit of this kind is 
that it illustrates the actual work of diverse school systems 
and renders comparison possible. If the exhibit of one State 
is composed chiefly of the “improved” work of the pupils, 
and that of another of “genuine” work, then there can be no 
reliable comparison of systems or results. 
XI. Time for Doing Work .—It is absolutely necessary that 
all the work of the State exhibit should be done in time to 
enable every school to make its local, city or county exhibit 
before the ist of February, 1904. 
The State Department cannot receive work, other than special , 
later than February 15 th, 1904. 
XII. Paper , Mounting, Binding , etc. —The entire educa¬ 
tional exhibit will be displayed at St. Louis on wall or surface, 
wing frames, New Jersey leaf cabinets, tables, draw shelves, 
bound volumes, &c. The written work of pupils will be regu¬ 
larly bound, or securely fastened in ornamental covers, or 
placed in portfolios, or mounted for display upon the walls, 
or in leaf cabinets. In order to secure uniformity the State 
committee has prescribed the form and character of all mount¬ 
ing and binding, and their regulations must be rigidly com¬ 
plied with. 
All paper and cardboard needed for the final work of pupils 
will be furnished free of charge by the commission. It will 
be of uniform size for all subjects (except drawing), namely,
