AKTositiloKist of that department, and two of his dci>artmcntal a<?v>- 

 dates, conducted a careful examination of a gjcal many loan caaes, 

 and made many inquiries as to methods employed in loaning and in 

 recording them. 



After hav-ing made a most careful inspection of many cases oC 

 luitural hislon.- subjects, Doctor Paul Bartsch, Curator, Division of 

 Marine Invertebrates, U. S. National Museum, stated in a communica- 

 tion to this department: ** I wish there might be some way to actually 

 determine the amount of good enterprises of this kind bring about. To 

 me it seems the very foundation of thiii^^ I am sure that the citizens 

 of Chicago vnW show much greater interest in outdoor studies, and a 

 much closer touch with nature, than other citizens where such work is 

 not undertaken. These yo\ingstcrs do grow up so quickly, and it will 

 only l>e a little while until the children that have had the benefit of your 

 cflorts will become jmrents who will rejoice with the little ones for the 

 opportunity you give them . . ."
