Circulating School Cabinets. 



As in former years, these Cabinets have been issued regularly, and 

 several applications have been received from Masters of Elementary 

 Schools, during the year, asking to be placed on the list of schools 

 receiving loans from the Museum. 



It is hoped that before long additional Cabinets of Economic Products 

 will be added to the collection.
