4o Report of the President 



interests of this Museum call for a larger amount of printing, 

 and one more diversified in its nature, than is needed in any- 

 similar institution. Careful observation shows that this large 

 amount of printing is not only done more promptly and effi- 

 ciently than it could be outside the Museum, but also more 

 economically, this in addition to the convenience of all con- 

 cerned and the saving in the time of the officers of the various 

 departments.

The report of the Registrar, George N. Pindar, states that 

 the number of accessions during the year was 821, the num- 



Registration and ber ,° f shi P'»ents 4,685, comprising 9 393 



_ , . packages; also that he has succeeded in 



Cataloguing v s ■ 



preparing a complete list of the accessions 



since the establishment of the Museum, and that this has 

 necessitated the preparation of no fewer than 35,000 cards. 

 The work has taken much time, owing to the difficulty of 

 obtaining information regarding the earlier accessions. 



In this connection it should be noted that the Registrar not 

 only keeps the record of all accessions and shipments, but that 

 his position as Secretary of the Pension Board entails a large 

 amount of work and that as Chairman of the Publicity Com- 

 mittee he has designed and had prepared for distribution 

 various placards, notices and folders calling attention to the 

 educational opportunities offered by the Museum. In this 

 connection we desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to the 

 Pennsylvania Railroad Company for their courtesy in placing 

 the Museum's poster in their suburban stations and to the 

 hotels of the city who have distributed our folders.
