 Bumpus he attended to the routine work of the Department, but par- 

 ticularly carried out the idea of the Director for bringing about a more 

 intimate relation between the Museum and the educational system 

 of the City. This included the development of the circulating col- 

 lections which was begun in December, 1903, and the inauguration 

 of the lectures for school children. With the retiring of Professor 

 Bickmore from active service in 1905, Mr. Sherwood was appointed

 appointed Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer.

 1906, when he was appointed an Assistant Curator of the Department 

 of Invertebrate Zoology. Dr. Dahlgren was especially interested in 

 the preparation of biological models. He served till 1908.
