From the standpoint of development in the exhibition hall, 



the energies of the Department during the past year have been 



devoted entirely to the development and exten- 



Development s i on f fa e exhibit dealing with the hygiene of 



Food Exhibit . . , 



the diet. The exhibit that was prepared along 

 these lines in 19 18 has been materially improved and expanded 

 and has continued to be a center of inspiration for work along 

 this general line throughout the country. 



The work has been given large publicity during the year 

 through the preparation of special articles which have appeared 

 in the monthly bulletin of the Life Extension Institute and in 

 various popular magazines and newspaper Sunday supple- 

 ments, and a large number of classes and groups of students 

 and others have visited the exhibit for informal talks in front 

 of the cases. 



At the request of Dr. Gustave Straubenmuller, Associate 

 Superintendent of Schools, the Department has made an ex- 

 tensive study of the possibility of cooperating 

 Circulating with the authorities of the City in their campaign 

 Food C Hygiene a £ a i ns t malnutrition among school children. A 

 detailed plan has been prepared for a traveling 

 exhibit to be composed of 15 models of foods which can be 

 used in various combinations to teach the value of different 

 foods in the diet and the composition of an ideal daily dietary, 

 these models being supplemented by blocks illustrating the 

 detailed composition of certain food stuffs and by a series of 

 diagrams and charts. 



The exhibit in its compactness and completeness will con- 

 stitute a novel contribution to educational methods in dietary
