TRAVELLING EXHIBITS 



The Iron and Steel Industry 



As the first of a series of travelling exhibits in pursuance 

 of the policy of the Museum of preparing industrial and edu- 

 cational exhibits, a travelling collection for schools has been 

 completed to illustrate the production and manufacture of 

 iron and steel. The exhibit includes much of the material 

 collected by the Director in Birmingham, Alabama; material 

 furnished by several Charleston firms; photographs copied 

 from various sources; and a number of particularly instruc- 

 tive stereoscopic views. This is probably the first extensive 

 traveling exhibit in the South and represents the most ad- 

 vanced modern ideas of educational museum work. It will 

 be demonstrated by the Director at the meeting of the State 

 Rural School Improvement Association at Columbia, S. C, 

 Dec. 30 and 31, and will then be ready for actual use in 

 Charleston schools. The exhibit is intended to supplement 

 the study of geography and is prepared in two forms, one 

 for pupils of high grammar or high school grade and one for 

 younger students. The specimens are accompanied by ques- 

 tion blanks to be filled in by the students as they study the 

 specimens and a circular of information with full directions 

 for the use of the exhibit is provided for the teacher. 



The Director will be glad to receive applications from 

 Charleston teachers for the use of this exhibit.
