PROGRESS IN INSTALLATION 



Recent issues of the Bulletin have been taken up with special 

 articles to the exclusion of any mention of the gratifying progress 

 which has been made in installation of exhibits in the main hall. 



For the first time it has been possible to run all departments 

 of the Museum at their full capacity and to utilize our full equip- 

 ment for the production and use of exhibits. Thus, while cases 

 have been built or refinished in the carpenter shop, specimens 

 and copy for labels have been prepared by Miss Bragg, Dr. 

 Martin, and Mr. Memminger, and the Museum press has been 

 busy printing labels. At the same time the routine work of ad- 

 ministration, care of the library and working up of new acces- 

 sions has gone on more efficiently than ever before, and the class- 

 room and laboratory have been continuously in use by the classes 

 of the College of Charleston, the Medical College, Ashley Hall, 

 the Kindergarten Training School, special classes from the public 

 schools, and by the Natural History Society. 



On the evenings of February 20 and 26 the Museum was opened 

 to public inspection in all departments and personally conducted 

 parties of from fifteen to thirty followed each other at intervals 

 of fifteen minutes about the building. They were taken first 

 to the oflSce of the director where the administrative system was 

 explained, showing how all departments are coordinated, how 

 work is planned, and how cost records and financial accounts are
