AFFILIATED INSTITUTIONS 



The aim of the Museum to become the center of scientific ac- 

 tivity in the community and to utiUze its lesources in the broad- 

 est way has been promoted by an affiUation with the Medical Col- 

 lege of South Carolina, by which the department of physiology and 

 embryology is transferred to the Museum. 



Another step in the same direction consists of an arrangement 

 with Ashley Hall by which the science classes come to the Museum 

 for instruction by Miss Bragg. 



The relation of the department of biology and geology of the 

 College of Charleston to the Museum remains unchanged. The 

 additional affiliations enable the laboratories to do more work 

 and to increase their equipment. 



From Januarj^ to June the curator of public instruction gave 

 a weekly lecture on elementary science to students of tlie South 

 Carolina Kindergarten Training School. 



CONCLUSION 



In conclusion, it may be worthy (jf enipluisis that the success 

 of the past year is but an earnest of the work that may be accom- 

 plished in another year with similar financial support. Much 

 that has been done this year will bring visible results early in the 

 new year, and each step in installation opens new possibilities 

 of educational work.
