Docent Service 31 



The students in Professor Boas's undergraduate course in An- 

 thropology at Barnard College continued their laboratory work in 

 the Museum from January until the end of the college year in June. 

 They studied the Siberian, South Sea Island, Eastern Woodland, 

 Plains, Pueblo, North Pacific Coast, Peruvian, and Mexican col- 

 lections. The nineteen talks given by the Museum docent were 

 arranged to supplement Professor Boas's lectures on material culture, 

 religion and art, and the classes made notes and drawings as they 

 examined the specimens in the cases.

Courses of lectures for school children, planned to supplement 



the regular school work, have been given during the spring and 



autumn. For a number of years, the lectures to school children, 



which have been given in the Museum audi- 



lectures to torium, have consisted of four courses each 



school children spring and four courses each fall. From the 



following data, it will be observed that a 



change was made in the autumn courses. Instead of four lectures 



a week, the same number of lectures were given, but they were 



arranged in two courses a week extending over a longer period of 



time. Since it is a serious undertaking for a teacher to conduct a 



class to the Museum for a lecture and home again during the rush 



hour, it was thought that teachers and pupils could attend a greater 



number of the lectures of the entire series if they did not occur so 



frequently.
