Meeting 353
and expectancy, the action of the
Legislature and the administra-
tion on the forthcoming permanent
budget.
REGISTRAR'S REPORT
During the past year a number of
accessions have been made
to museum collections as per attached
list. In each case the proper
acknowledgment has been made and the
various items catalogued,
placed on exhibition, or stored as
seemed advisable.
As Staff Artist I take pleasure in
reporting the completion
and installation of a series of eighteen
decorative panels in the
South Hall of Archaeology. These panels
suggest the probable
method of using the various types of
stone implements exhibited
in nearby cases, and help to relieve the
somewhat cold and color-
less aspect formerly noticed in this
room.
As Curator of Minerals I may report the
addition of a num-
ber of specimens through an exchange
with the Dayton Public
Library Museum, also through donations.
The mineral collection
has been utilized as a source of
inspiration by students of design
in the Department of Fine Arts of the
Ohio State University
during the past year, and designs made
by them are now on ex-
hibition in the Museum.

President Johnson announced that
miscellaneous
business would be considered in order
and drew atten-
tion to the expiration of the terms of
the following
trustees: Miss Helen Bareis, Mr. Beman
Dawes and
Mr. Oscar F. Miller. He appointed the
following nomi-
nating committee to prepare a ticket to
fill the vacancies:
Mr. John M. Horst, Mrs. Jessica Marvin
and Mr. Dud-
ley T. Fisher, Sr.
The election of the trustees was
declared in order
by the chairman. Mr. Horst, chairman of
the Commit-
tee on Nominations, reported in favor
of the election of
Miss Helen Bareis, Mr. Beman Dawes and
Mr. Oscar
F. Miller to succeed themselves. No
other nominations
were made and on motion of Mr. Fisher,
the Secretary
was instructed to cast the ballot of
the Society for the
nominees. This was done and the
nominees as named
were elected, each for the regular term
of three years.
Dr. Thompson made commendatory remarks
in re-
gard to the acquisition of properties
by the Society,
emphasizing especially the mounds near
Newark in Lick-
ing County. President Johnson thanked
Dr. Thompson
Report of the Forty-Seventh Annual
Meeting 357
for his contribution to the exercises
of the forenoon,
stating that as usual he had enriched
our program. Mr.
Shetrone followed with some interesting
remarks on
the same subject.
Mr. Horst made an extended and very
interesting
talk on the collection of books made
and presented by the
McGuffey Society and dwelt especially
on the work of
the committee on Early Ohio School
Books in collecting
262 volumes of the old Ohio School
Library and eight
volumes of other old Ohio school books.
These have
not yet been accessioned to the
library, as Mr. Horst
announced he is expecting to add many
more volumes
to the set before it is formally
transferred. He spoke
also of a labor union exhibit, which
exhibit is now in
the Museum of the Society. His father
had been a
member of that union in Germany.
Time still remaining before the close
of the forenoon
session, President Johnson requested
Secretary Gal-
breath to amplify his report on the
newspaper and manu-
script collections of the Society.
Secretary Galbreath
thanked the President and proceeded to
occupy a por-
tion of the remaining time. At the
conclusion of his
remarks, he announced the meeting of the
Pioneer So-
ciety of Franklin County and invited
the members to
attend.
Mrs. Dryer made some interesting
remarks on her
visit to the East the past winter,
stating that she saw
some of the institutions of
Philadelphia doing work
similar to our own.
The meeting then recessed until the
afternoon ses-
sion.
