THE BUREAU OF SCIENCE 



when the best of the exhibit was sent to San Francisco as a part 

 of the Bureau of Science display at the Panama-Pacific Interna- 

 tional Exposition. (See page 51.) 



The study of the Ilocano people, begun four years ago, has been 

 completed, and the report would have been in my hands before 

 this except for the interruption of Mr. Christie's work to make 

 a collection illustrating the life of the Visayan people with special 

 reference to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Simi- 

 lar Tagalog, Pampanga, and Pangasinan collections have been 

 made. 



LIBRARY 



Personnel. — Miss Emma E. Kinne, assistant librarian, went 

 to the United States on leave on June 3, 1914, and resigned, 

 effective September 14, 1914. There have been no other changes 

 in the responsible personnel of the library. The organization 

 and routine of the library has been continued as outlined in my 

 Twelfth Annual Report. The apprentice system, inaugurated 

 three years ago, has been very successful, not only in that the 

 amount of money spent for carefully selected apprentices results 

 in more intelligent service, but also a group of young people with 

 an elementary knowledge of library science will become available 

 for library work in other libraries in Manila and throughout the 

 provinces and will interest themselves in the library extension 

 and other public welfare work if we retain sufficient trained 

 librarians to teach them. The record of the accomplishment of 

 the library is as follows : 



The accessions from July 1 to December 31, 1913, and for the 

 calendar year 1914 were 1,554 and 2,654 volumes, respectively, 

 making a total number of 30,860 bound volumes in the library on 

 December 31, 1914. A number of old and rare single publica- 

 tions and several sets of great value were received prior to De- 

 cember 31, 1913. Our orders for the calendar year 1914 have 

 been restricted almost wholly to the continuation of serials
