 the Parents' and Teachers' Associations. 



During the summer months and at other times when 

 the work with the schools was not interfered with thereby, 

 applications from community houses and other organizations

 and the Board of Education in Brooklyn.

 have been duplicated and 137 slides on Domestic Science 

 have been made at the expense of the Bureau. These lecture 

 sets and new slides, selected in v cooperation with Dr. Cran-
