lost nearly $75 in this way last year, and also the cost of postage and 

 clerical work in sending bills several times. Even a normal-school princi- 

 pal refused to pay because the "copies could not be found in his office," 

 but he did not give this information until the fifth bill and a special letter 

 called his attention. It seems impossible that all copies for two years 

 could have strayed in the mails. Other subscribers have ordered the 

 magazine continued and then removed to other places without ordering 

 second-class mail forwarded. But the majority of delinquents — many of 

 them personal or professional friends of the editor — simply forget the bills 

 for unpaid subscriptions. This has been the experience of many other 

 publishers. 



The editor feels sure that the vast majority of readers will agree with 

 him in the opinion that economy should be practiced by adopting a pay- 

 ment-in-advance rule. This has already been done by the American 

 Nature-Study Society and other subscribers ought not to be carried on a 

 basis which means, at least indirectly, increased expense for the Society.
