The principal function of the Southwest Museum is to live up to its name, as the depository of all that which is associated with the footsteps of man in this favored region. To show the history of modern man and the links uniting it to prehistory and aboriginal culture is the principal aim of that Institution. The constant aim of its staiT is to give positive information upon scientific facts.—which are nothing more or less than nat- ural laws capable of being demonstrated and visualized, leaving theories and hypotheses to others. The logical idea of popularizing science, divesting it of al/ its forbidding technicalities, so feared by the laity desirous of learning, has resultcl for the year 1917 in a matriculated body of 318 students. The educational service has further been brought to the use of the schools, through the Norman Bridge Museum Kxtension. which was of service to 3500 pupils of all grades, and is now being extended to the Public Library and its branches. 23.
