with the Cambridge public schools. In June an exhibition of draw- ings, paintings, and decorative art by grade-school children was held and was so successful that it is planned to continue such exhi-bitions in the future. In addition to this, the Museum is conduct- ing a free course in art history and appreciation for children in the eighth grades of the Cambridge public schools. A series of eight weekly lectures are given by Mrs. D. B. Tanner, volunteer in charge of education, and Miss Laura Huntsinger, Secretary of the Mu-seum. Each of these lectures is followed by an appropriate moving picture film and a special trip to the Boston Museum or the Fogg Museum in charge of volunteer students from the Radcliffe Fine Arts Department. This course has had such satisfactory re-sults that it is planned to extend it to sixteen weekly meetings next year. It is estimated that by the close of the current course, the at-tendance will be well over a thousand, drawn from eighteen public schools.

Further extension work of a more advanced nature has been carried on by the Museum. A large group of reproductions of German works of art is being assembled by the Museum for the purpose of forming circulating exhibitions to be sent to schools, colleges, and other educational institutions. The first of these exhi-bitions was sent out this year to the Phillips Exeter Academy. It consisted of reproductions of German metal-work, ivories, manu-scripts, sculpture, paintings, and drawings. In another year, the Museum hopes to have enough material for several different exhi-bitions illustrating the history of German painting, modern German painting, German graphic art, and a large exhibition illus-trating the whole history of German art of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

A collection of lantern slides is also being made available for lending purposes. During the past year slides were lent to the fol-lowing institutions: Middlesex School, Concord; Tufts College, Medford; New York University, New York City.

These many activities were carried on with a very modest ex-penditure of money. The total income from endowments was $9,721.86. Of this $8,599 was spent on fixed charges. These fixed charges include the salaries of the four members of the Museum staff, heat, light and power, upkeep, etc. The total amount of un-restricted funds remaining for expenditure on books, photograph, slides, exhibitions, collections, supplies, etc., is $1,121.86.

Obviously, if the Museum is to continue and extend its activities and fulfill its ultimate purpose, a larger endowment is needed.
