THE MUSEOLOGIST 



This little nuujazine is devoted to the irdernal affairs of the Museum. It 

 exists for the sake of all the Museum workers, aud offers itself as a ready 

 medium through which they may come into closer touch with each other and 

 with the Corporation. 



It is issued by the Publicity Committee.

The first talk of the series planned for ^luseum emplo^^ees 

 was given bj^ Dr. Lucas on Wednesday, January 19th, in 

 the East Assembly Room. It was well attended, especially 

 in view of the fact that, as it was the first meeting of the kind, 

 the date was overlooked b}^ a number of people who had in- 

 tended to be present. In many cases, too, both the poster 

 and the notice in last month's INIuseologist escaped atten- 

 tion. It is hoped, however, that news of the talks will soon 

 be general knowledge, and that empWees of every depart- 

 ment and status will look on attendance at them as part of 

 their regular work and will quickh^ form the ''every other 

 Wednesday at 12 :45 " habit. 



The Administration is anxious for a large and general 

 attendance because a real need exists for the dissemination of 

 the sort of information which the talks will give. There are 

 certain important Museum regulations which are recognized 

 only in the breach. There are many features of our inter-office 

 system which should be known to every one, but which are 

 apparently known to scarcely any one. Employees should be 

 better informed about the Pension Fund and the Employees' 

 Benefit Association; the work of departments other than 

 their own ; what is being accomphshed by the Museum in the 

 outside world; how the departments may best cooperate
