Excerpt from A Plan for a New Museum, the Kind of Museum It Will Profit a City to Maintain I read a paper on Increasing the Usefulness of Museums at the meeting of the American Association of Museums, May, 1916 in Washington, D. C., and it was printed in the proceedings of that. Association. Although a few of the suggestions and criticisms here set forth were presented in that paper, this book is more than a revision of it. I have rewritten it and added to it further suggestions of my own and others from the museum literature of the past three years. It is now much less a prophecy and much more a record than it was when it was read in first draft to a group of museum workers. The suggestion that museums should be of definite value to the communities which maintain them is now quite generally accepted, and is being worked out in practice as rapid ly, perhaps, as the indifference of the public, the conservatism of trustees and the incubus of expertness will permit.
