1 60 THE NA TURE-STUD Y RE VIE IV \ 3 :6-sept., 1907 



M. F. Guyer, of the University of Cincinnati; Professor F. L. 

 Stevens, of N. C. College of Agriculture; Professor W. Lochhead, 

 of Macdonald College; Professor M. A. Bigelow, of Teachers 

 College, Columbia University; Professor C. R. Mann, Depart- 

 ment of Physics, University of Chicago; Mrs. L. L. Wilson, 

 Philadelphia Normal School; Dr. E. F. Bigelow, Stamford, 

 Conn.; Professor J. F. Woodhull, Teachers College. Columbia 

 University. No attempt has been made to arrange names in 

 order. There are more than ten names because, with five or 

 or six exceptions, it has proved impossible to select on the basis 

 of majority of votes; and also all the above are needed to give 

 proper geographical and institutional representation. The 

 above names will certainly be approved as satisfactory for a 

 committee on organization; and in order to push plans to com- 

 pletion the managing editor of The Review has asked these 

 persons to cooperate in making definite plans for organization 

 of a society for the advancement of nature-study in schools. 

 The proceedings of this committee will be published as soon as 

 possible in The Review. 



Meeting for Organization. — It has been suggested that a 

 meeting for organization should be held in Chicago when the 

 national scientific societies meet next December. No other meet- 

 ing will bring together so many who are interested in nature- 

 study, and therefore, the suggestion seems to be a good one. The 

 suggestion will be referred to the Organizing Committee. 



The Official Journal. — Concerning the proposition to make 

 The Review the official journal, it has been suggested that it 

 should be in the control of the association and the editor or 

 editorial committee elected. To this the present editor and 

 publisher will agree, and will later submit a proposition involving 

 the above suggestion. 



Membership fees paid for iqoj. — The announcement last March 

 brought a large number of applications for membership accom- 

 panied by $1 orders and checks for membership fees. In most 

 cases it was requested that The Review should be sent beginning 

 with January 1907. After July all remittances accompanying 

 applications for membership will be credited to membership dues 

 for 1908, and The Review will be sent beginning with next 

 January, unless specially ordered according to the following 

 notice.
