About that time the wife of the gov

“Had the not gone. out of her way
and calling to meddle In such things
as are proper for men, whose minds
are stronger, she had kept her wits.”
Yet the poor governor's lady was far,
In her simple d eel re for reading, from
seeking such knowledge ae would lit
her to he curator of a sdentlfle insti
tution.
Miss Laura M Bragg, however, tat
sold to be quite able to keep her wits,
for she Is credited not only with be
ing a scientist bnt also a business
woman who has placed the museum
on a sound financial basis. In addi
tion. her staff la ao completely Im
bued with her vision that the educa
tional service rendered the commun
ity, has astonished the museum board
of governors.
An exhibit added through her fore
sight consists of ancient prescriptions,
mortars and the early American glasa
bottles which accumulated in the old
est drug store In Charleston. When It
was moved to modern quarters, the
antique equlppent waa destined for
the dump taeap until Miss Bragg asked
to make It one of the most Interest
ing exhibits of the museum.
Daughter of a Methodist minister,
she seems always to have understood
people. A young B. 8.. fresh from
technical training In biology and li
brary work, she started a museum at
Owl's Island, Mie., consisting mainly
of fish and shells of the vicinity, which
greatly Interested the native popula
tion. Visitors to the convention of
the American. Association of Museuma,
which met in Charleston In April to
celebrate th e one hundred and fiftieth
birthday of the museum, found the
same commingling of sdentlfle and
neighborhood spirit In Miss Bragg's
work. Alongside the rare antique fur
niture of the old South which draws
connoisseurs from athr, are classes In
modeling for Charleston children, and
In simple resmrch for their elders.
