THE NEEDS OF THE MUSEUM 



On this subject, I can only repeat and emphasize what I 

 said one year ago. The needs then mentioned still exist and 

 are even more urgent. 



The proposed East Wing is perhaps the most important, 

 most pressing need. We simply must have more room if the 

 Museum is to continue to develop and grow in its scientific 

 and educational work as I am sure every member of the 

 Board of Trustees would like to see it grow. And it is 

 earnestly hoped that some way may be found to increase our 

 income so that we may pay more nearly adequate salaries 

 to the scientific staff, and that more funds may be available 

 for library, publications, and for scientific research. The 

 salaries we are able to pay our curators and other employes 

 are pitifully small and must be increased at the first oppor- 

 tunity. 



I wish again to express publicly my appreciation of the 

 fine spirit of scientific interest, enthusiasm, co-operation and 

 loyalty with which members of the staff have carried on 

 their work during the year just ending, as in the past. The 

 absence of that spirit would indeed be unfortunate.
