widely scattered though they may have been over the west and south 

 and center of England." 



Stonehenge has withstood to a certain extent, at any rate, the van- 

 dalism of an old inhabited country, and, after all these centuries, still 

 presents enough of its original form so that we may reconstruct to 

 some degree its ancient life. As a great temple of the sun, we may 

 well imagine it in its full glory, with its concourse of worshippers and 

 its powerful priesthood assembled for some special ceremony. The 

 picture is a pleasing one and we might draw further upon our imagina- 

 tions, but the investigations now in progress at Stonehenge will prob- 

 ably add still further to our specific knowledge regarding this great 

 monument and its builders. 



Fortunately, Great Britain in recent years is putting forth every 

 effort for the preservation, and, in some cases, the restoration of its 

 antiquities. Thus Stonehenge, the greatest of all early monuments in 

 the British Isles, if not, indeed, of all Europe, is assured complete 

 protection and thorough investigation. No trip to Europe can ever be 

 really complete without a visit to this wonderful old site. 



THE "USE" IN MUSEUM 



By R. S. CorwinI*) 



Most all the citizens of Milwaukee know about the "use" in 

 Museum, — their Museum. Perhaps a few do not; and perhaps a few 

 who do are not following up the hunch they have ; hence this reminder. 

 But judging from the three-quarters of a million visitors during the 

 past year, we may say that the people of the city have found the Mil- 

 waukee Public Museum a very useful institution. 



It would be cause for rejoicing all round if, during 1923 enough 

 additional citizens made this discovery to bring the total number of 

 visitors for the year up to an even million, — and finally to break the 

 attendance records of all other museums in the country. The Museum 

 is confidently expecting an increased number of visitors, because it is 

 offering a more attractive and varied service than ever before. This 

 service consists of visual instruction which the Museum renders by 

 means of its exhibits ; its illustrated lectures ; and its many loan mate- 

 rials of educational and illuminating character. By taking advantage 

 of what the Museum has to offer, the public of Milwaukee can benefit 

 individually, and as a community, and at the same time help the 



i^Supervisor of Museum Extension, Milwaukee Public Museum.
