Education in Art and Design 103 



A number of special loans were made to schools and educa- 

 tional institutions. In several instances we contributed advice 

 and material for the staging of pageants representing the 

 prehistory of Manhattan. Assistant Curator Spinden repre- 

 sented the department in several educational conferences on 

 the teaching of decorative art conducted by the State Depart- 

 ment of Education, and at the invitation of the State Commis- 

 sioner of Education John H. Finley, prepared a series of 

 photographic charts, with notes, for circulation among the 

 schools of the State. 



The leader of the several scout organizations centering in 

 this city invited the cooperation of this department in the 

 training of scout masters for instruction in woodcraft and 

 Indian lore. Mr. B. T. B. Hyde, representing the Museum, 

 and Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, representing the scout organiza- 

 tions, have held a number of informal conferences, which 

 have resulted in bringing the scientific resources of the depart- 

 ment to the aid of the local masters. Mr. Hyde has directed 

 the study of &iuseum material by these groups and is develop- 

 ing some special collections for their use. It is hoped that 

 these efforts will result in a more effective use of the Museum 

 by the Scouts of America.
