EDITORIAL. 



Elsewhere in this issue we reproduce a circular letter sent out by 

 the College of I'harmacy announcing the addition of a new course to 

 fhe curriculum to meet the demand for food analysts created bv the 

 enactment of the Federal and State Pure Food and Drug Laws. We 

 believe that to the New York College of Pharmacy belongs the dis- 

 tinction of being- the first institution of learning to provide an adequate 

 course of special instruction for those desiring to enter this field of 

 service. 



As to the syllabus of instruction it can be briefly stated that it will 

 include instructions in the legal standards for the various foods and 

 drugs, and the microscopical and chemical methods of examination to 

 ascertain if they conform to the standards. We expect to be able to 

 give more detailed information in the next issue.
