Excerpt from Museums of Education: Their History and UseThe educational museum, or museum of education, of which this study treats, is one of these specialized museums, which includes collections solely of objects related to education and which is administered primarily to be of service to persons engaged in education. Such museums first appeared about half a century ago, and probably a hundred or more of them have been organized in various parts of the world. Recently, renewed interest has been shown in the educational museum in this coun try, as, for example, in the movement to establish such museums in the cities of St. Louis and New York, and in certain states, and in the tendency to form collections of similar material in certain American universities. An attempt to bring together experience regarding these museums seems therefore timely.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
