Text Appearing Before Image: EDUCATION 1 he functions of the Education Department range from ottering college credit courses each semester tor New York City teachers to instructing thousands of pupils who come to the Museum for special programs. Most visitors know that instructors teach individual classes of elemental} and junior high students by appointment, that an auditorium program is available, and that slide lectures, film programs, and gallery talks are presented weekly throughout most of the year. However, few visitors realize that the Education Department helps local schools design their own natural science centers, that it occasionally sends lec- turers to drug rehabilitation centers, or that it assists small community museums with technical advice. With a full-time teaching staff of twenty supported by more than a hundred part-time and volunteer workers, the department is quite different from the original one-man lecture service begun in 1884. Frog is observed in the Natural Science Center, where children learn about the animals of the New York area (Second Floor, Section 11).
