REPORT ON MUSEUM
Work Done During Year Under
Professor III. r. Osborn.

The fortieth annual report of the trustees of the
American Museum of Natural History, describing
the growth and development of the institution dur
ing the first year Of the administration of Presi-
dent Henry Fairfield Osborn. will be sent to mem
bers of the institution to-day.
Professor Osborn says in his report that the
vice of the museum to the people is indicated by
the freedom of its exhibition halls. the museum
being open free every day in the year; the methods
Of installing material for exhibition. the special ex-
hibits Of human interest, and all that the museum
Is doing for education and science.
For the first time in the history Of the museum
the attendance has exceeded the million mark,
1043,562 having been recorded for the year The
free public lectures were attended by S2,T1S per-
22.931 pupils attended the special lectures for
school children designed to supplement the class
room work in geography and history, and Ss3
schools in greater New York supplied monthly
with the museums circulating collections of nature
study specimens Several branch Libraries have
been provided with special exhibits. which have
done much to stimulate good reading The ser
vices of instructor the disposal of visiting
classes
Professor Osborn says the scientific staff Of the
museum of which TT Hermon c. Bumpus is
director larger than that any similar nstitu-
ton in the world. Expeditions and field agents for
making additions to the collections of the museum
have been maintained in nine states and eighteen
foreign countries. Mrs Morris X. Jesup has been
foremost among the museums benefaCtors. She
has personally betrayed the entire cost of the mu-
seums expeditions to British Columbia. to the
Arctic, Nicaragua and to Nebraska. She has
also enriched every department of the museum
through gifts of collections.
In the Esquimau Hall three of the mural paint
ings. provided through the generosity Of Arthur
Curtiss James and executed by Frederick w.
Stokes. have been completed and put In place. Tho
Catalogung and classifying of the four large ethno-
logical collections from the Congo, which have been
presented the museum by King Leopold Of Bel
GUM. have been completed In connection with the
Hudson Fulton celebration, special exhibit, Illus
trating local archaeology and the culture OF the
Indians formerly living in Manhattan and the Vi
cnity, IS being prepared.
Although the city has generously contributed for
support of the museum since the foundation. II
has been heretofore without direct official repre-
sentation the board. But now the constitution
has been so amended that the Mayor, Controller
and president Of the Department Of Public Parks
are ex offico. members. The city last year con
trhuted - for the support OF the museum.
and others contributed N35.7S5 2S. The estimated
value of collections acquired during the last eight
years is 100000.
The payment of the 100000 bequest Of Morris
K Jesup marks the largest contribution eFer made
TO the permanent endowment OF the museum, and
practically doubles it.
