ScHOOL SUPPLY SERVICE 
During the first half of the vear, Miss Julia IE, Best continued 
to act as School Service Assistant, supplying study material to the 
high schools, junior high schools, and colleges on the same terms 
as in the previous year: she served on the committee to prepare a 
school service exhibit for the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration 
in May. Miss Best resigned August 12. Beginning with the 
opening of the schools in September, Miss Marion L. Meurlin 
(A.B. Barnard College) was appointed in her place. 
As shown by the following table, there has been some increase 
over 1934 in the number of requests for all material and in the 
number of Petri dishes filled with sterile agar; but neither figure 
has approached that of recent years when no charge was made. 
Tt will be recalled that in 1933, on account of the rapidly increas- 
ing demand which was beyond our capacity to supply, we were 
forced to make a nominal charge for material supplied to schools.
