Students' Tflse of fIDuseum. 



A gratifying feature during the year has been the 

 increased use made of the museum collections by 

 teachers and pupils. The Museum has been visited by 

 i, 880 pupils and 106 teachers from local and district 

 schools ; an increase of 857 pupils and 38 teachers over 

 last year. 



A large number of enquiries have been received 

 from visitors for information, and this section has now 

 become an important and recognised feature of museum 

 routine. 



The Students' Geological collection, and the large 

 osteological series in the attics, have been in almost 

 continuous use by students. The latter collection 

 is unfortunately placed for effective supervision, and 

 with better means of access would be even more used 

 by medical and dental students. 



Students from various Art Classes have made good 

 use of the Museum as formerly.
