A pitiful spectacle indeed when a man 

 cannot devote one or two hours ever}' 

 month to an organization having no 

 other excuse for its existence except the 

 benefits its members might derive there- 

 from. 



This self-same member was quite 

 wroth when in the course of a discus- 

 sion of the Harrison Law, he discovered 

 that he was needlessly refusing to fill 

 prescriptions. "Why don't the State 

 Association keep us informed upon 

 these points ? What am I paying my 

 dues for?" When asked Avhat he did 

 for the association, he could not reply, 

 as he did nothing but pay his dues. 



We wonder how long it will take men 

 of this type, by far too numerous, to 

 realize that if an association is to ac- 

 complish the expected results every 

 member must take an active interest. 

 Just so long as the many leave it to the 

 few to do all the work, just so long will 

 they wait in vain for real results.

H ONOR SYSTEM AT COLUMBI A. 



The rules for the "Honor System" 

 now in force at the School of Mines, 

 printed on page 55, have been sent to 

 us by J. A. SteiTens, N. Y. C. P. '09, 

 who is chairman of the honor system 

 committee. Dr. Steflfens is very en- 

 thusiastic and optimistic as to the great 

 value of the system and hopes that he 

 may see a similar plan adopted at the 

 College. We are presenting the rules 

 in detail at his request, as a preliminary 

 step to encourage discussion as to the 

 availability or non-availability of such a 

 system at the College. We join in his 

 request that our readers will use the col- 

 umns of their Journal in expressing 

 their opinions.

A N OPPORTUNITY FOR TEA M 

 WORK . 



A bill has been introduced at Albany 

 amendatory to the "Boylan" Law which 

 prohibits absolutely the sale of all "nar- 

 cotics" without a physician's prescrip- 

 tion. 



This means that if a person wants 

 five cents' worth of Brown Mixture he 

 will have to present a prescription to 

 the pharmacist before the latter may 

 make the sale. 



Do the pharmacists of New York be- 

 lieve this to be proper? Is such a law 

 just and necessary? If their answer be
