County. Several additional parks shortly
will be placed in our
custody. In connection with two or three
of the park properties
there has been some lack of agreement as
to methods of adminis-
tration. The Director, accompanied by
Trustee J. C. Goodman,
Chairman of the Committee on State
Parks, recently visited these
properties, conferred with local
committees, and provided means
for correcting the situations.
It may seem superfluous to consume the
brief time at the dis-
posal of this Annual Meeting in
reviewing past accomplishments;
however, the justification lies in the
fact that members of the
staff, who toil patiently month after
month are entitled to this
annual consideration, although most of
you already are acquainted
with their accomplishments. If time
permitted I should like to
discuss generalities of Society concern;
but this will have to await
another time. Those of us solicitous of
the Society's welfare
and its future must not lose sight of
the fact that the world is
undergoing a social revolution, and that
ours, along with all other
institutions, must be awake to the new
interpretation of affairs.
Without going into details I may
summarize our need at this time
as lying in the direction of alertness
in rendering a maximum
service to our public and, when the time
arises, of finding a way
to affect a more satisfactory legal
status for the Society in the
state government. This latter should be
based, I believe, on the
idea of appropriations made in payment
of a definite service to
the public, along the lines of existing
legislation with respect to
cities and counties, but not as yet
extending to the commonwealth.
Under authority of the Board of
Trustees, your director has under
way a study of the situation from a
nation-wide point of view,
and in cooperation with the American
Association of Museums
and museum authorities. The results of
this survey, with possible
recommendations, will be submitted to
you at a later date.
