- W4231119372 abstract "THIS interesting venture made unprecedented growth and expansion in attendance and activities in 1931. The city's effort to find emergency employment resulted in a welcome temporary addition to the workers, who at one time numbered so many as a hundred. The Museum has three main aims: to give children joy and satisfaction through wholesome activity; to make their education fun; and to give them a consciousness of ability to succeed (Museums of The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences—Report for the Year 1931). It follows these aims through six divisions of activity—lectures, docentry, loans, boy scouts, mineralogy and the library—and much ingenuity is shown in the methods of laying hold of the childish interests. For example, there is the jig-saw puzzle section, where the puzzles, made in the Museum and related to the exhibits, now number 1000, and were used by 111,727 children. But this ploy demanded a preliminary, and we are told that one coloured woman, Estelle Hall, presided at the washing of 143,577 pairs of [coloured] hands in preparation for assembling puzzles and handling books. The loan division now owns 3812 exhibit cases, many boxed by emergency workers, and during the year these loans made 2,350,260 contacts in the 688 schools which borrowed them." @default.
