Mr. Coleman has been made Chairman of the Committee on Classi- 

 fied Information of The American Association of Museums, which is to 

 report at the Cleveland meeting in 1921. The other members of the 

 Committee are Dr. Hovey and Mr. Harold L. Madison. The work 

 is being conducted in cooperation with Dr. Melvil Dewey, author of 

 Decimal Classification and originator of that system, with the Inter- 

 national Institution of Bibliography, of Brussels, and with the Concilium 

 Bibliographicum, of Zurich. The Committee is engaged in devising a 

 classification by means of which it is hoped so to organize museum in- 

 formation that eventually a compendium may be produced. Since last 

 August, Mr. Coleman has been at work upon a tentative draft which is 

 now to be submitted to one hundred or more museum people of the 

 country, and it is expected that the perfected work will be published by 

 Dr. Dewey.
