EDITORIAL. 



Beginning with the June issue we are going to try to get the 

 Journal out by the tenth of each month, so as to keep our members 

 informed as to the meetings and functions which are to take place 

 for that month. 



We therefore would request our members and readers, if they 

 have anything which they desire published in the Journal, to please 

 have copy in the hands of the Editors not later than the 25th of the 

 month preceding the issue of the Journal. 



Again we wish to thank those who have contributed articles and 

 class notes, and beg to ask you to continue the same. The more 

 we get the better we like it, for we would rather (and so would you) 

 have five pages of original reading matter, than twenty pages of 

 abstracts or borrowed matter. 



AVe also take this occasion to thank the advertisers to whom 

 _ thanks are certainly due for their support, and we believe that our 

 r— Journal has now attained a standard and a dignity which is charac- 

 > teristically its own. — Editors.
