Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

Few persons realise It but the mu-
scum today Is no longer q big curiosity
shop but a powerful educational force
along the lines Unnatural history" said
Jesse d. Figgins. Of Denver, Colo, d.
rector Of the Colorado Museum of Natu-
James.
In the good old days when museums
were nothing more than big collections
OF curios. usually OF a rather morbid va
riety. no one considered the interests OF
the public or the possibilities for educa-
ton that lay in this direction. The more
gruesome the relic. the better. according
to old standards.
To-day, we have a different idea in
mind. We no longer stun a Florida na-
mingo and mount il on polished, ma
hogany pedestal. with q brass name
plate. chiefly in Latin. beneath. We at
tempt to show, not only the natural state
OF the flamingo but every phase of his
life history. We build a foreground as
nearly as possible Ike that OF his habitat.
even to the nest. eggs and Matching of
the young. Then We paint in backgrounds
that are so well eontrived that II is hard
to see where the natural foreground
leaves on and the artificial background
begins.
Those who ran museums In days gone
by seemed to think that the scientist
mounted two classincations of the same
species side by side and no one but a
scientist or a naturalist could tell the
difference Then they would plaster q
heavy Latin name on It and maybe put

were up TO the quota expected in North

when the selective draft went into ef-
feet
