classes from the elementary and secondary schools of the region of which Pittsburgh is the center visit the museum. The Carnegie Museum was the first institution of its kind in America to establish “Prize Essay Contests.” The first of these was held in the year 1896. For a time the contest was discontinued but was revived in the year 1922, and is now held in conjunction with the Department of Fine Arts. The essays submitted in the last contest numbered over 2,000. Traveling collections of mounted specimens are lent to public and private schools. Advanced students reading for degrees in course or preparing theses for post-graduate degrees are granted the facilities of the museum and are permitted to carry on work in the laboratories. Students from institutions of higher learning from all over the continent and from for- eign lands have been welcome and have remained in resi- dence for shorter or longer periods. During the winter free lectures are given by noted scien- tists in the lecture hall of the museum on Thursday even- ings and Sunday afternoons. Illustrated talks are also given on Saturday afternoons exclusively for children.
