Le Eas ~ a «2 December 3, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 2 wm ARRANGE NEW TOUR SYSTEM AT MUSEUM New Plan Expedites Group Visits to Field Museum of Natural History Beginning Thursday, December 1, a new system of guide-lecture tours was instituted at Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, it was announced to day by D. C. Davies, director of the museum. These tours, a service for which no charge is made, are designed to aid visitors with a limited amount of time at their disposal to find easily and en joy the best exhibits among the in stitution's vast collections of hundreds of thousands of objects from all ages and all parts of the world, and to assist persons interested in particular subjects to get the most out of the exhibits illustrating those special sub- jects. Under the new plan there will be every Thursday, starting at 11 a.m, and 3 p.m., two general tours touching the high spots of all four departments of museum exhibits -- anthropology, botany, geology and zoology. These will provide a quick, conveaient survey of the most striking features for the visitor who has but little time to spare. The guide lecturers conducting the parties will give informative talks be- fore each of the exhibits. Tour Individual Sections On the other days when guide-lec- tures are to be given--Mondays, Tues- days, Wednesdays and Fridays--indi- vidual sections of the museum will be studied, each subject being treated in more detail. Each month a schedule will be drawn up and announced, so that the person with specialized inter- ests may come when his subject is to be taken up. Eventually, under this plan, all sections of the museum will receive this specialized study treat- ment. Persons with a variety of in- terests may profitably attend a large part or all of the lectures. Students of high schools, colleges and universi- ties are expected to find the guide- lecture courses particularly valuable as a supplement to their regular studies.
