Independently of the Museum/ an organization has been created called the « EDUCA¬ 
TIONAL SERVICE », with the object of making the collections known and appreciated. 
From the beginning of October to the end of May, lectures are given regularly every Sunday 
morning and visits with fully-qualified guides take place on Saturday afternoons. Moreover, 
the service provides guides to the collections, free of charge, for children from any school 
which asks for them. When requested the Educational Service also gives Story Hours for 
Children in the Schools and Propaganda Lectures in the Provinces. Collections of lantern 
slides are being formed which may be borrowed by outsiders. 
Ordinary members of the Educational Service pay an annual subscription of 25 francs; 
life-members compound by payment of 500 francs.
