This report was adopted and the committee continued. 



The publicity committee made the following report : 

 We recommend : 



That a publicity committee of three be appointed. 

 That the function of the committee shall be three-fold, one member 

 performing one of the functions. 



(a) PuhUcity through the press. Especial attention to be paid to 

 the minor, and weekly papers, since the larger papers are already 

 carrying considerable science materials. Materials showing progress 

 of science investigation and practical application as well as startling 

 discoveries should be worked up. This should be made self-supporting. 



(b) PuhUcity through the platform. The individual in charge of 

 this should arrange popular lectures on science throughout the state, 

 wiping out entirely institutional lines. By cooperation with the State 

 Department, this group should be self-supporting. 



(c) Publicity through loans. Lantern slides, microscopic slides, 

 and museum specimens could be loaned to schools. This could be 

 made self-supporting except for the labor, by either of two methods. 

 Either require the schools to pay transportation and breakage, or 

 organize a loan membership which for a definite sum entitles the 

 schools to borrow these things.
