IV. Comments of Eminent Educators on the 

 Educational Work of the Museum as presented in 

 the President's Annual Report for 1913. 



" The question covered by your report as to the particular investi- 

 gation of public education and school education is one of very great 

 interest and importance at this present time." 



John Grier Hibben, 



President, Princeton I 'niversity 



" I have noted particularly the reports of your educational work, 

 and beg to send my congratulations on what you are accomplishing." 



John H. Finli v. 



President \ The t >i (vers i ty of 



the State of New York 



"I am gratified to see that the Museum is indeed making educa- 

 tion and its problems a theme for research. I regard the usefulness of 

 an institution such as yours dependent in some measure upon the con- 

 tact it maintains with the world of education: especially with that part 

 which is represented by our colleges and universities." 



Benjamin Ide Wheeler, 



President, University of California 



"It is the record of a great and useful work in the cause of public 

 education." 



William H. Maxwell, 



City Super intend cut of Schools 



"Of the educational value of the Museum's exhibits I was already 

 well aware and feel a debt of gratitude to its officers and the city that 

 supports it for the better understanding of nature on my own part and 

 on that of my family, which frequent visits to the Museum afforded us 

 during our residence in New York." 



Ernest Fox Nichols, 



President, Dartmouth College 



"If ever the schools were in danger of claiming a monopoly of 

 education, such enterprises as this of yours must have awakened them 

 from their dreaming. I am sure it is good for all of us who are engaged 

 in educational work in the narrower sense to feel that the scope of the 

 work is broader than our own endeavors."

President, Amherst College
