Motion Pictures of ArcAdiA at Colon- 

 ial Theatre, Stamford. 



Motion pictures, supplied by the Uni- 

 versal Screen Magazine, of the work of 

 the honeybees at ArcAdiA are now be- 

 ing shown afternoon and evening at 

 the Colonial Theatre, Stamford. A 

 part of these pictures is devoted to 



demonstrations in handling bees with- 

 out glove or veil. The second section 

 shows how to care for bees within the 

 hive and how to take out the surplus 

 honey from the hive. The third is a 

 little bit of garden drama showing how 

 refreshments with honey as the princi- 

 pal feature may be served to a caller. 

 The cast of characters is as follows : 

 Dr. Edward F. Bigelow, Miss Pearl A. 

 Bigelow, Miss Nettie F. Bradt, Mi>s 

 Mary Babula, Mr. Alfred Stokes, Sec- 

 retary of the Stamford Y. M. C. A., and 

 Scout Masters from Columbia Univer- 

 sity, New York City. 



To Members and Friends of The Agassiz Association: 



Over a week ago we suspended work for the summer on the construction of Little 

 Japan. There now remain to be installed this spring a part of the electric lighting and 

 some of the furnishings. We have been compelled by innumerable requests for use to 

 complete at this unfavorable time enough of the development to make it available for 

 this season. We believe that everywhere possible work should be suspended in favor 

 of gardening and other phases of the food and war problems. We hope that after the 

 autumn harvest Little Japan may be completed. The total cost will be about $2,000. 



Even the present assignments include parties from Stamford, Sound Beach, Green- 

 wich, Darien, New York, Tarrytown-on-Hudson, Staten Island. The workers at 

 ArrAdiA gladly give their services, but it is necessary to request members and friends 

 to give the construction. 



Contributions received $478.50 



Bills paid 459-74 



Cash on hand 18.76 



Pledges unpaid 20.00 



Bills to be paid 121.89 



IMMEDIATELY NEEDED 83.13 



Needed to complete the work, approximately, $1,400. 



Time and again this exclamation is heard: "Great work! But how do you find time 

 for it all?" 



This is the secret. We have all the time in the world and know how to use it. 

 Rockefeller and Carnegie have no more. But even if we had less, no one could give us 

 one second. It's different as to money! 



Respectfully and faithfully submitted, 



THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION, Inc., 



Edward F. Bigelow, 



President.

1 The Best Scientific Work is Done in Ihe 1 



Small Laboratory with Local Support 



(From an Editorial in "The Popular Science Monthly.") 



"The most desirable institutions for scientific work would prob- 

 ably be comparatively small laboratories conducted by the scien- 

 tific men who work in them It would be 



well if such institutions were endowed by the rich, still better if 

 they were supported by a state or community."
