PHILIPPINE MUSEUM 



The work of the division of ethnology has been reduced 

 practically to that in connection with the Philippine museum 

 as shown by the administrative order of the Secretary of the 

 Interior of July 11, 1914 which states, "* * * The ethno- 

 logical museum will be retained as an exhibit, but it will not be 

 extended by further research * * *." Only those positions 

 necessary for maintaining the museum were retained and ap- 

 propriated for by the legislature. The resignations of Mr. 

 Leslie F. Taylor and Mr. John M. Garvan were received, effective 

 January 31, 1914, and September 21, 1914, respectively, and 

 Mr. H. 0. Beyer was transferred to the University of the Phil- 

 ippines on November 13, 1914,, effective after the collection of 

 specimens for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has 

 been completed. 



The splendid collections of Philippine hats, basketry, tools, 

 weapons, agricultural implements, brass work, clothes and cloths, 

 illustrating the life of the peoples of the Islands were kept open 

 to the public from 7.30 a. m. to 5.00 p. m. on Monday to Friday 

 and from 7.30 a. m. to 1.00 p m. on Saturday until November
