Abstract
SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE POLICY IT is not yet generally recognized that local museums can, or should be able to, make a substantial contribution towards the education of the adult and juvenile population of their respective areas. Even the Ministry of Education, in its various 'recommendations', appears to have overlooked these veritable treasure houses of visual aids. What are the reasons for this? Mr. S. F. Markham's Report, "The Museums and Art Galleries of the British Isles" (1938), probably supplies the answer, namely, that the majority of local museums, for some reason or another, are failing to carry out their functions adequately (see Nature, 143, 447; 1939).
