the head curator, visited Baltimore, to inspect war exhibits assembled 

 at the Armory in that city, with corresponding results. Early in 

 1919 he visited Philadelphia and New York for like purposes. In the 

 latter instance he was accompanied by Capt. J. J. Hittinger, Quarter- 

 master Corps, who is taking a prominent part in the activities of 

 the Museum in this branch. 



In May Doctor Hrdlicka, curator of the division of physical an- 

 thropology, under instructions from the Secretary, attended a con- 

 ference of the National Committee for Constructive Inmiigration 

 Legislation. The various important problems were carefully con- 

 sidered, and on the suggestion of Doctor Hrdlicka a committee of 

 especially qualified persons was appointed to outline, as far as 

 possible, the whole scope of the question and to suggest the measures, 

 agencies, and methods necessary to a practical solution of the many 

 problems constantly being presented.
