secure the interest of their parents, and who will themselves 

 form the community of tomorrow. 



The Charleston Museum is probably the first museum in the 

 country to undertake this particular line of work, but a related 

 experiment has been carried out with most gratifying success 

 by the Children's Museum in Brooklyn, where high school boys 

 have equipped a wireless telegraphy station and have acquired 

 such knowledge and experience that a number of them are now 

 employed in this work at good salaries. To any boy who is 

 interested in the work of the Weather Bureau as a profession 

 the Charleston Museum will now be able to offer opportunity 

 for practical experience. 



A more detailed description of this exhibit and of the plans 

 for its use will be published in the fall. 



NOTES FROM THE MUSEUfl 



With this issue the Bulletin suspends publication until Oc- 

 tober. The Museum library will be open as usual in July and Sep- 

 tember, but will be closed in August, when the librarian will take 

 her vacation. 



The director represented the Museum at the fourth annual 

 meeting of the American Association of Museums, held in Phil- 

 adelphia, May 11-13. The Charieston Museum is one of the 

 charter sustaining members of this association, and has been its 

 home office since the election of Professor Rea as Secretary in 

 1907. The meetings of the association promote a valuable 

 exchange of ideas among museum workers and stimulate the 

 development of museums throughout the country. In addi- 

 tion to an annual volume of Proceedings the association is now 

 compiling a directory of museums of art, history and science in 

 North and South America.
