The final lecture of the high school course in the museum was cancelled. 

 as the stereopticon could not be used during the week in which the Richmond 

 Light and Railroad Company was without power. The first course of grade 

 school lectures began on November 7. The topics for the remainder of the 

 month are as follows- November 14, "Alaska;" November 21, "The "West 

 Indies;" November 28, "South America." These lectures are given by Mr. 

 Cleaves on Friday afternoons at 4 o'clock.- They are open to all children 

 above grade 3. The slides for this course have been kindly lent by the 

 Department of Education. 



The exhibits in the art and archeology room have been re-arranged 

 and now include one case devoted to Staten Island historical relics, a case 

 containing Colonial, Revolutionary and Confederate paper money, and a 

 display of the various medals issued in commemoration of the "'safe and sane" 

 Fourth of July celebrations of the past three years, the latter being the gift 

 of Mr. J. Blake Hillyer. There is also an exhibit of tiles from the old Mexican 

 churches and from one or tAvo other sources. 



The live pets in the children's room now include a lively young alli- 

 gator, the gift of Mrs. W. V. Osborn, through Charles Kipper.
