 and modeling, and results of this were placed on special exhibition 

 in Stanley Field Hall in the spring (see page 26). The Chicago 

 Science Fair (sponsored by Chicago Teachers Science Association), 

 a show in which students of grades six through twelve from all

This Museum is one of a number of institutions selected by 

 Medill School of Journalism of Northwestern University to give 

 its students actual experience as working newspaper men and 

 women. Students are sent each week on assignments to gather news 

 material that they use to prepare stories as "lab work" in their 

 classes. Co-operation and the benefit of experience are extended 

 to them by H. B. Harte, Public Relations Counsel, and Miss Patricia 

 McAfee, Assistant. Under the co-operative plan adopted in 1946 

 by this Museum and Antioch College (Yellow Springs, Ohio) sixteen 

 young men and women were employed in 1958 by the Museum 

 in its scientific departments, Library, and Raymond Foundation.
