«mun-mun: I «guru: :: :uiu an. a Wnu§§i :4th Road New Lem" I understand that e movement is being made by the Winnetke Librury Board of the village to turn over to the school board the custody of our public museum and to remove the article's now on ex- hibit to the school building. I am heartily in favor of a school mu. eeum and can well uppreciate the benefit it would be to the school, but let me brieflly recite the his- toq oonur Public museum. ‘ Mt, in 1891 the Young Men’s Club of Winnetka was organised, and after an eventful career it went the way of all the earth; after the obsequies it was found thatthe de- ceased had left property to the amount of nearly eighty dollars which the administratorsafter con- sultation with the library board decided to donate to the village as the nucleus of a public museum, and by ‘the consent of the library board it was determined to locate the museum in the library build- ing, and the library board .and their successors in perpetuity were constituted custodians of the pub- lic museum. ’ In addition to the stockholders of the club, many of our citizens were approached with this pro- position and contributed generous- ly until at last we have an exhibit “of which we may well be proud. and which, many have viewed with admiration and interest. Now the library board wish to resign the custody of this property and in- vest it in the schoolboard. . ‘ ‘Iobjecttothis! ' A , let. Because the promoters and contributors tothis museum have not given their sanction. 7 ' 2Kd. Because the public to whom it belongs, and not the library board, has never given its consent to the change. 3rd, and mainly, because by re- mo'ving it to thc} school building it will be inaccessible to, many, besides losing its identity, . ' The great ‘maas of our' citizens are employed in the cit and if they ‘ Mu! desire to view- the exhxbita it must ____________________‘ be in the evening, as many have FRANK O done in its present location, but v.0. 30, m. , memA. l2 Communicated.
