A CORRECTION 



In the paper by Professor Stanley Coulter which was published 

 in the January issue of this magazine, part of a sentence on page 

 i 2 was in some unexplained way changed after the manuscript 

 left the author's hands and much of the force of the paragraph was 

 lost. The last sentence in the paragraph should have read as fol- 

 lows : "It is difficult, however, for one to see why, if the habits of 

 life, the food-gathering and food-storing, the architecture and 

 activities of the animal known as the ant constitute valuable and 

 interesting: nature-studv material, the habits of life, the food- 

 gathering and food-storing, the architecture and activities of the 

 animal known as man should not furnish equally A-aluable and 

 interesting material." 



As printed it read: "It is difficult, however, for one to see why 

 the habits of life, the food-gathering and food-storing, the archi- 

 tecture and activities of the animal known as man should not 

 furnish material as valuable and interesting as do other animals."

THE AMERICAN NATURE-STUDY SOCIETY 



A conference on the training of teachers of nature-study (in 

 the broadest sense) will be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on the after- 

 noon of July the third, which is the last day of the meetings of the 

 National Education Association. This conference will be under 

 the general direction of the A. X.-S. S. Committee on General 

 Principles and the training of teachers of Xature-Study. The 

 personnel of this and other committees being arranged by the 

 Council will be announced when certain correspondence is 

 completed. 



The Council has decided that the next regular meeting is to 

 be held in Baltimore next December when the meetings of many 

 scientific societies will bring together more of the active members 

 of the A. N.-S. S. than could attend at any other time and 

 place possible for this year.
