MUSEUMS. 45 
During the first six months of the year the lectures to the Pupil 
Teachers attending the Training College in Clarence Street, and the 
Church of England College in Colquitt Street, were resumed, lectures 
being given by the Director to the senior and junior students on 
alternate Fridays. 
Persons desirous of employing the Museums for the purpose of 
research, reference or sketching may, by application to the Director, 
and on giving satisfactory references, obtain tickets enabling them 
to enter on Fridays, when special facilities are afforded to students. 
Tickets were issued, as usual, during the year (chiefly) to Artists, 
of whom a much larger number than heretofore have availed 
themselves of the advantages the Museum collections afford, and to 
Students of Natural History, Osteology and Dental Anatomy, who 
have made extensive use of the collections, mainly on the days when 
the Museums were closed to the public. This privilege was made 
use of by students on nearly 700 different occasions during the year. 
The pupils studying at the Liverpool School of Art attend in a body, 
regularly once a week.
