year, that their Museiim was raising by popular subscription a sum of 

 money to be expended in extending the Museum in the pubHc schools 

 of that city, and requested the loan of a typical case of this Department 

 together with the motion picture film showing methods of storing, de- 

 livering cases, etc., which was shown at the Panama-Pacific International 

 Exposition as a part of this Department's exhibit there. In making this 

 request the Curator stated: *'The N. W. Harris Public School Exten- 

 sion has set a glorious example for the whole land and an example 

 which I hope we will be able to follow with success. It would help us 

 out immensely and be of great assistance in educating the people up to 

 the meaning of loan collections, and it would have much to do with 

 the success of our campaign." A case and the motion picture film were 

 sent as requested. After using them for several weeks for the purpose 

 desired, an extension of the time of the loan of the case was asked. 

 In support of this request it was stated, " The case and motion picture 

 film were being used quite effectively, and that people here seem to be 

 delighted with the conception of such a loan, and the comments are 

 uniformly enthusiastic." Requests for information concerning con- 

 struction of cases, methods of installing, distributing and loaning them 

 have been received from various institutions.
