Abstract
THE annual report of the Manchester Museum (University of Manchester), while stating that the usual museum activities have been carried on during the year 1943–44, points out that its functions in relation to future educational developments can only be properly fulfilled when provision is made for an increase of technical staff, and for adequate working accommodation. As the report states, these need are common to museums throughout Great Britain. At the present time, however, there are few or no signs that such needs—together with many others—will be met in the near future. No doubt the solution of the problem might be hastened if the Ministry of Education were to recognize in a more practical manner the considerable educational potentialities of these institutions. In the meantime, for lack of growing space, a valuable public service is unable to progress beyond its 'germination' stage.
