1t may be said that the State
Museum came into its own yester-
day and the way the teachers and
education officials went to tie big
white building on Capitol Hill to
!, see the educational exhibits in which
the institution specialized for some
time was illuminating. There are
many people in Harrisburg, and on
Capitol Hill, for that matter, who
do not knew what a wealth of ma
terial the Museum contains. There
are exhibits there from almost every
/, school district of city size and some
of the work is of highly creditable
kind even for trained workers, while
, what is shown in the way of develop
ment of youngsters is important to
every teacher.
