6 YEARBOOK, PUBLIC MUSEUM, MILWAUKEE. [Vol. I. 



are unknown to the average visitor to the Museum. Some of these 

 "notes" may even carry their story in a lighter vein, but they will also 

 record incidents and methods of importance connected with the work 

 in hand. 



The section on special notes and news will contain short articles con- 

 cerning special features of the Museum's exhibits and items of particu- 

 lar interest connected with field work, which is the major source from 

 which the Museum's collections are derived. 



It is hoped that the Yearbook will thus prove of general interest and 

 especially that it will keep the community informed as to the activities 

 of its Museum, this great center of visual instruction which the city 

 maintains and which desires to serve every member of the community to 

 the greatest possible extent. To this end it is hoped that the pages of 

 the Yearbook may carry instructive information on new exhibits and on 

 the Museum's various activities which are not familiar to a great many 

 of our visitors. 



S. A. BARRETT, Director.
