Museum Bulletin 



THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION 



will be held in the assembly hall of the Museum, 154 Stuyvesant 

 Place, Saint George, on Saturday evening, October 21, 1916, at 

 8:15 o'clock. 



In accordance with the policy approved by the Program 

 Committee the October meeting is, as usual, reserved for com- 

 munications of general interest from members. 



Visitors are welcome at all regular meetings of the Asso- 

 ciation and members are urged to invite any friends who may 

 express a desire to attend. Light refreshments are served and 

 an informal reception is held by the Woman's Auxiliary Com- 

 mittee after the adjournment of each meeting. 



Arthur Hollick, 



Secretary. 



The first of the season's course of free illustrated lectures 

 for children, on "Quito: City of the Equator," by Mr. Stafford 

 C. Edwards, is scheduled for Friday afternoon, October 27. 



Members will please note that Mr. and Mrs. Frederick L. 

 Stoddard, custodians of the Britton Cottage during the past fifteen 

 months, resigned at the end of September, and that the Cottage 

 is now in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Henry. The telephone 

 number remains the same — 512 New Dorp — but under the name 

 of the new custodian. 



The complete furnishing of the Britton Cottage with 

 household articles in keeping with its historical associations is 

 well under way, through the active work of the several local 

 chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mem- 

 bers will find much of interest there at the present time, and 

 there is every reason to believe that in the near future each 

 chapter will have completed its share of renovating and furnish- 

 ing the rooms as creditably as Abram Cole Chapter has done in 

 connection with the hallway. 



The boys' museum in the Annex, mentioned in the August 

 Bulletin, now has a membership of twenty four. They have been 

 encouraged to organize and to manage their own activities, with 

 occasional advice and suggestions by the Director when necessary. 

 They have held meetings and elected their own officers and the 

 latter are held responsible for good order on the premises. The 

 inception of the musuem was quite independent of any suggestion 

 on the part of the Director, and for that reason it may be regarded 

 as a gratifying and encouraging indication of the wholesome in- 

 fluence of our museum on the youthful members of the com- 

 munity.
