ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 31 
From time to time the bureau has been put to considerable 
expense in having photostat copies made of unique manu- 
scripts and of excessively rare books indispensable to its 
researches. It is therefore fortunate that the opportunity 
was afforded, late in the fiscal year, to acquire a photostat 
apparatus which has since been in constant service. The 
urgent need of such an instrument was made especially mani- 
fest when the Rev. George Worpenberg, 8. J., librarian of St. 
Marys College, St. Marys, Kansas, generously accorded the 
bureau the privilege of copying a number of valuable original 
linguistic manuscripts in the archives of the college, pertain- 
ing chiefly to the Potawatomi and including a dictionary and 
a grammar recorded by the late Father Maurice Gailland. 
Manuscript copies of these voluminous linguistic works could 
have been made only after infinite labor by an expert and at 
an expense far exceeding the entire cost of the photostat ap- 
paratus. By the close of the year the making of the fac- 
simile reproductions had been commenced by Mr. Albert 
Sweeney, under the immediate direction of Mr. De Lancey 
Gill, illustrator. 
An opportunity was afforded at the close of the year to 
replace the wooden partition and ceiling of the manuscript 
room with terra cotta and to install a fireproof door and 
window coverings, thus giving for the first time adequate pro- 
tection to the bureau’s large collection of priceless unpub- 
lished material.
