152 THE NATURE-STUDY REVIEW L6:5-May, 1910 



pamphlets on Corn are published by the Guaranteed Seed Corn Pro- 

 ducers, Piano, 111., from whom they may be obtained free of charge. 



With such helps as these readily available, there is no reason why 

 the study of corn should not be well handled by teachers. 



Habit-forming Agents, meaning such drugs or beverages as dis- 

 pose to habit formation, or drug addiction, receive their just deserts in 

 Farmers' Bulletin 393, issued April 29. It speaks plainly of the dis- 

 astrous effects of soothing syrups, medicated soft drinks, "remedies" 

 for catarrh, cough, consumption, headache, tobacco-habit, etc. Par- 

 ents, teachers, all who believe in health, in science, or in childhood, 

 should assist in the dissemination of the facts presented. The bulletin 

 is written by L. F. Kebler, Chief, Division of Drugs, Bureau of Chem- 

 istry. 



School Nature Study, (published quarterly by George Philip & 

 Son, Ltd., 32 Fleet St., London, E. C.) is the official organ of the 

 "School Nature Study Union". The April issue has several articles of 

 much interest, and the supplementary number presents detailed and 

 extensive suggestions for a scheme of nature-study. This supplement 

 will be valuable to all who are concerned with the course of study. It 

 may be obtained, price 6d., of Mr. H. E. Turner, 1 Grosvenor Park, 

 Camberwell, S. E. 



The School Exchange (Newark, N. J.) makes of its March issue a 

 special number on the Superintendents' Meeting of the N. E. A. recent- 

 ly held at Indianapolis. It furnishes valuable reading for teachers 

 who are studiously interested in the welfare of children.
