It was with regret that the department lost the services of Miss 

 Kathryn I. Upson, Lantern Slide Librarian, who re- 

 CHANGES signed on October 1. The position has been filled by 

 of staff Miss Virginia McGivney, a graduate of Barnard Col- 

 lege, whose experience as a teacher in the New York 

 City Schools makes her especially competent to direct this work with 

 the teachers.

IV. COMMENTS OF EMINENT EDUCATORS ON THE 

 EDUCATIONAL WORK OF THE MUSEUM 



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

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



JOHN H. FINLEY, 

 President, The University 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 

 contact 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
