THE SALARY BONUS FUND 



By W. T. HoRNADAY. 



Every year, for the past fifteen years at 

 least, we have labored with the Board of Esti- 

 mate and Apportionment to secure for our low- 

 salaried employees all the pay increases that 

 there seemed to be the faintest hope of obtain- 

 ing. Each year a very small number of trifling 

 increases have been secured, but the annual 

 total has been painfully small. 



It is worthy of remark that with the sole ex- 

 ception of the Assistant Curator of Birds, more 

 years than we can accurately remember have 

 elapsed since the pay of any staff officer of the 

 Park has been augmented.
