Annual  Report  of  the  Director. 
453 
Army  of  the  Republic  helped  this  to  an  extent.  The  Museum  pre- 
pared a  framed  directory  of  the  museums,  galleries  and  libraries  of 
the  city,  which  has  been  hung  in  the  different  hotels  and  other  pub- 
lic places  for  the  guidance  of  visitors  to  Chicago.  It  has  been  noted 
especially  during  the  summer  just  passed  that  a  large  number  of  people 
visiting  the  Museum  were  evidently  strangers  in  the  city,  which 
leads  one  to  the  conclusion  that  the  fame  of  the  institution  is  spread- 
ing, and  that  it  is  now  regarded  as  one  of  the  points  of  attraction  to 
those  who  are  transient  in  the  city.  The  demands  of  visitors  for  the 
printed  guide  continues  with  gratification,  and  the  sixth  edition  made 
its  appearance  this  year,  somewhat  improved  over  previous  issues 
because  of  a  condensation  of  bulk  without  a  relinquishment  of  fact. 
Among  the  schools  whose  classes  have  visited  the  Museum  in  bodies 
during  the  year  may  be  mentioned  the  following:
