DR. WILLIAM H. ALLEN'S REPORT ON THE
OHIO
STATE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HIS-
TORICAL SOCIETY
Dr. William H. Allen, head of the
Institute of Pub-
lic Service, New York, was employed by
the Joint Legis-
lative Committee on Administrative
Reorganization to
make an examination of all state
educational agencies.
In his report on the work of the
Society he sketches
briefly the aims and purposes of the
Society; the prop-
erties that have been transferred to
its custody; the ex-
tent and character of its exhibits; its
needs and its op-
portunities for greater service.
He praises highly some of the
publications of the
Society and declares that "the
Archaeological Atlas pub-
lished should be in every school house

contains."

building and states that
"much valuable material is not on
exhibition due to lack
of space."
He concludes his report with eleven
recommendations
which are here reproduced in full:
