 is presented with special reference to the Pharmaceutical Syllabus. In the study of both 

 external and internal appearance drawings should be generously used. These should be as 

 large as possible and colored crayons or pencils should be used to emphasize the differentia- 

 tions. It is believed that few students of elementary botany realize the significance of life 

 histories, though here the real understanding of botanical science begins. — E. N. Gathercoal.
