The purpose of this Project is to extend and increase free museum advantages and release free visual education materials to public schools, institutions and buildings open to the public. Owing to the scattered population of some regions of Pennsylvania, the public school children of these districts are without advantages offered in larger cities by free museums and exhibitions. Miniature museum models and materials sent to these rural school and institutions will offer to some extent, the visual education now lacking. This which [sic] could be added to from time to time. The museum sets, miniature groups, and visual aids will be carefully made, with attention to proportion and detail. Bibliography and other printed information will accompany each set." (Finlay, 35)
