The image is a page from a report about the Germanic Museum. Here is a detailed summary of the content:

1. Photographic Reproductions and Lantern Slides:

   • The museum has acquired a total of 6,099 photographic reproductions, with 2,868 received as gifts and 11 purchased.
   • The collection of lantern slides has been increased by 189, with 3 being gifts and 186 purchased. The total number of slides is now 4,169.
   • The number of photographic negatives of objects belonging to the museum has been increased by 124, making a total of 309.

2. Attendance:

   • The total attendance for the year was 25,523.
   • Of these, 1,218 attended public lectures at the museum.
   • The remaining 24,305 represent gallery attendance.

3. Extension Work:

   • Significant progress was made in extension work during the past year.
   • In collaboration with Mr. A. F. Burke, Art Director of the Cambridge public schools, the usual June exhibition of work by public school children was held. Additionally, an extensive program of art history and appreciation was carried out.
   • A series of lectures on various phases of art history was given on Saturday mornings by Mrs. D. B. Tanner, Miss Laura Huntsinger, and Mr. R. D. Feild. After each lecture, an appropriate motion picture film was shown to give the children a vivid impression of the period in question.
   • The children were then brought into contact with the original works of art through special visits to the Fogg Art Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. These visits were supervised by volunteers recruited from the students of Radcliffe College who were concentrating in Fine Arts. Funds for this work were generously donated by a group of Cambridge citizens.
   • The course had satisfactory results, and it is hoped to continue it in the future. Over eleven hundred children from eighteen public schools attended the course.
   • Great strides were also made in a different type of extension work. The museum has been gradually assembling a group of reproductions suitable for traveling exhibitions. The first of these exhibitions was held at the Phillips Exeter Academy and consisted of reproductions of German painting, illuminated manuscripts, medieval ivories, metal work, sculpture, and textiles.
   • A generous gift of $250 from the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation was made to further this work, and it is hoped soon to have several more exhibitions ready for circulation.
