REPORT ON MUSEUM WORK 



This annual survey of our work in the museum is always a 

 somewhat disappointing document to prepare. There are 

 such extensive pieces of work in nearly every section waiting 

 year after year to be taken in hand, and the impression we are 

 able to make upon them in any one year seems so insignificant. 

 On the other hand, in view of the smallness of the staff and 

 income in proportion to the size of the museum, and in view, 

 too, of the extent to which our average day is inevitably 

 occupied with incidental matters unconnected with our real 

 progressive work, I am always rather surprised that the year's 

 record amounts after all to as much as it does. But I feel 

 bound to point out from time to time that while our resources 

 in staff and income are so much inferior to those of other 

 museums of the same standing, it is impossible for us to reach 

 the same level in methods of displaying collections or to 

 follow out modern educational developments in the same way 

 as these more fortunate institutions.
