 the Section of Art, Dr. James Parton Haney, Superintendent of

 the adjournment of each meeting.

Secretary. 



The fifth and final course of free illustrated lectures for chil- 

 dren, for the season of 1915 - 16, was concluded on Friday after- 

 noon, March 31. It may be of interest to those of our members 

 who are not acquainted with this feature of the museum activities 

 to know that the total attendance at the twenty-three lectures 

 given between October 29, 1915, and March 31, 1916, was 2,300, 

 or an average of 100 at each lecture. 



It is also interesting and encouraging to note that 1,836 per- 

 sons visited the Museum during the month of March, exclusive 

 of those who attend the evening meetings of the Association, its 

 sections and committees, and other organizations. 



Recent elections to active membership in the Association by 

 the Board of Trustees are Edward F. Washburn, New Brighton ; 

 J. K. Summers, West New Brighton ; M. J. Curren, Mariner's Har- 

 bor; R. T. Pryor, Concord; Chester H. Aldrich, New Dorp. 



Members will please note that, before the next issue of the 

 Bulletin, the final number of volume V of the Proceedings will 

 probably be ready for distribution. This is a number of unusual in- 

 terest, with six plates — four of which illustrate certain of the 

 unique features which developed as a result of draining the Silver 

 Lake basin in 1914, and two which accompany the historical and 

 descriptive account of the Cubberly House or Britton Cottage at 

 New Dorp. Copies will be mailed to all members in good stand- 

 ing as soon as possible after the edition is received from the 

 printer.
