At year's end, the total attendance was 2,655,128, an increase ot .17.7 per cent over the' 1953 record of 2,255,735. Based on an Average stay of more than three hours per visitor, this amounts to over eight million visitor hours. Major Lenox R. Lohr, formerly of McHenry and now museum president, in reviewing the annual report compiled by Daniel M. MacMaster, director, stressed the Increasingly important role of education the Museum is assuming in a society where technical knowledge is becoming increasingly important. ."Afc our technical knowledge increases, there exists a v necessity for the public to understand not only the working relationships of the scientist and engineer and thteir contributions to progress but df even more vital significance is an appreciation of the principles on which the American system Operates", Lohr pointed out. "This Museum is concerned with a dual educational role in its exhibits," Lohr explained. "For the, adults there is the understanding at how science and engineering contribute to making life longer, iftOre pleasant and secure. For the youngsters, an early introduction tb* the vast areas of scientific Knowledge and their application is iiriportant if t we .are to prepare them for entering such fields of study so that progress may continue." feummer attendance figures indicate that more and more people are spending* part of their vacation tjztie in the Museum. During June, July and August, when 65 per cent of the Museum's visitors are from otit of thfe state, a total t/f 021,387 Bet a new record. The highest month of the year was August With 410,293. The highest day was De& 5 with 33,602. School groups regularly usfe Museum exhibits to sup^ement classroom work. Many of the schools now make their visits to the Museum .more effective by basing work projects on the various exhibits through the use of qiiestionaires, themes and term papers. To help teachers prepare their pupQs in advance for what they will learn on their visit, the Museum's staff has prepared guidance material. Through the use of "*a "school tours booklet"' published by the Museum and available free to all teachers, special tours may be planned to make such visits both enjoyable and educational. During the last school year 5,654 such school groups, repre aenting thirty-six states and totalling 238,855 students of various educational levels, made such planned tours. Elementary schools brought the highest -- lg0,146; high schools were next with 58,- 807. Foreign groups, many of them sponsored by various governmental agencies, Included visitors from Canada, Mexico, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden; India, Israel, the Philippines and Japan; El Salvador, Panama; Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Peru. The Museum had a variety of special activities as well^ as new exhibits to attract visitors in 1954. Three different fairs were held, designed for different age groups and interests. First of these was the Student Science fair, which has now become an annual event participated in by the public high schools of Chicago. More than 500 individual science exhibits were set up and demonstrated by high school students during the three days of the fair in April.'

The reason you've been hearing, so much about them is that January' has been declared "Egg Month." Because eggs are plentiful and. low in price, it's a good time to put some away in your freezer. Dr. Frances O. Van Duyne, in charge of food research at the University of Illinois, gives the following directions for freezing whole eggs. Use top-quality eggs, checking the odor and* appearance by breaking each one into a small dish before adding it to a mixing bowl. Mix the eggs with a fork, beater or an electric mixer, but avoid whipping in excess air. Then put the mixed eggs through a sieve. For each cup of egg mixture, add either 1^ teaspoons of sugar or y2 teaspoon of salt, and stir until dissolved. Then pour into freezer containers. Defrost the( eggs In unopened containers or covered glass dishes in a refrigerator at room temperature or under cold running water. Do not thaw more than you can use at one time, and use them immediately in recipes that call for whole egg. Three and one-fourth tablespoons of defrosted whole eggs are equal to one egg. The eggs to which sugar has been added should be used in baking and in making desserts. The egg mixture containing salt can be used in any recipe calling for whole egg. However, it may be necessary to reduce the demount of salt called for in the recipe so that the product will not be too salty.
