Local Lecture Centers 35 



Lecture centers have been conducted at Washington Irving High 



School and at Public School No. 64, Manhattan. The former is not 



for pupils of this high school, but for the pupils of the elementary 



schools of the vicinity. The success of this 



local center is due largely to the supervision of 



lecture centers Miss Rosemary F. Mullen, Head of the 



Department of Biology in Washington Irving 



High School. The lectures are given by members of the Museum 



staff. The center at Public School No. 64 is conducted for the pupils 



of that school, of which Mr. Louis Marks is Principal.
