Foreword
By Earl U. Homuth
The staff of the Educational Division in Crater Lake National Park
has been increased this year, to afford greater service to the Public,
and also to leave more permanent record of the work accomplished.
Mr. Dale Leslie, of Eugene, Oregon, has been assigned as
Ranger-Naturalist. Miss Mabel Hibbard, who has had several years of
experience in the Yosemite, is in active charge of the Temporary Museum.
Mr. Fredrick L. Wynd is assisting especially in the preparation of
material for the Manual of Information.
The Temporary Museum in the Community House is rapidly developing
into a focus of interest for the Public. A relief model of the Park has
been added, together with temporary cases to contain the bird specimens
prepared by Dr. Loye Miller, and the insect and rock collections which
are being rapidly increased. The cut-flower collection numbers over
sixty identified species. Many valuable exhibits are awaiting the
construction of a more permanent building.
