back to the proper display of this and other work. To this ex¬ 
hibit has been added each year much new work from the schools 
of the State, to show their improvement. It is the intention of 
the Commission, when it has the room, to collect each year some 
of the best work done in the public schools, as an incentive to 
better work, and to show the people what is being done on educa¬ 
tional lines. 
OTHER EXHIBITS. 
The Commission intends to make exhibits to show the manu¬ 
facturing industries of the State. To do this the Curator has 
made arrangements with Mr. Walter Lenox, of Trenton, who 
will prepare an exhibit .of pottery, showing the material used, the 
different steps in its manufacture and the completed articles. Mr. 
Lenox has already done considerable towards this exhibit, and 
when completed it will no doubt be a fine one and greatly appre¬ 
ciated by the people. 
We have, through the kindness of Mr. James T. Morgan, been 
placed in communication with other manufacturers, hoping to 
secure exhibits in the silk, iron, woolen and other industries of 
the State. In this way it is believed that a fair idea of the manu¬ 
factures of New Jersey can be obtained. We have now in the 
geological exhibit much to show our natural resources in iron, 
copper, zinc, building stone, State clays and soils, as well as a 
choice collection of marls and minerals. Additions are made to 
these from time to time. 
MANUAL, TRAINING. 
We have made two special exhibits of manual training work 
done by the pupils in the public schools of the State. Work was 
received from nearly every school doing work in this depart¬ 
ment under the State law. It showed that excellent work was 
being done, and the exhibits were viewed by a large number of 
people. Exhibits of work done by the State Normal, Model, In¬ 
dustrial School for Boys, State Home for Girls and School for 
the Deaf have been made, showing* what these schools are doing 
in this line. Each year the State Home for Girls has an exhibit
