On the subject of "museum professionals": The Pennsylvania state legislature passed a bill on May 23, 1919, stating that the State Museum "shall be under the immediate charge of a curator, who shall be a skilled taxidermist." (To address the other part of the debate, he received a salary of $2,400.00/ year.)
