GRAND FORM OF EDUCATION
Museums Of the Country Have Done
Much for the Real Advancement
Of the Student.

one Of the hundred representatives
of as many American museums in
this country holding a three days
conference expressed the opinion that
objects OF are and otherwise on exhi-
bition should not be labeled. Fortu-
nately, he was combated by another
delegate. and the opinion Of the men,
bers generally seemed to be with the
latter. There is no doubt Of the
growing value Of museums Of all sorts
as educational factors. but their i'm
portance and usefulness would be
hampered II there we're no labels. In
fact the general comment of the pub
lie is that there are not labels enough.
Few visitors are profound students.
They go to learn. and a stuffed AMI
nal, picture or an chronological
specimen Is to them nothing until ex-
planned. Some museums are issuing
not only catalogues for every Sec
ton but putting extensive placards
wherever needed

museum in this country. Charles Will
