Station, and will aid any who may choose to work during such time. The 

 laboratory is at the disposal of students from June 15 to September 1st, 

 or even later, if any wish to use it. 



AFTER THE SESSION. 

 At the close of the work at the laboratory the station staff will carry 

 on investigations and make collections in the vicinity, Senator Wm. A. 

 Clark having made a contribution for this purposee. It will be possible 

 to accommodate a few additional persons in this work. The work is 

 severe and is not possible for many. Those accompanying must pay 

 share of the expense. Correspondence should be held early, so as to 

 mature plans. 



EXPENSES. 

 The Station is a department of the University of Montana. The 

 policy of the State Board of Education is to make all work of the Uni- 

 versity free to residents of the State. In conformity with this plan there 

 is no tuition or laboratory fee charged. Students attending will pay for 

 breakage. It is thus possible for students to come from remote sections 

 of the State, spend six or eight weeks in study under the most favorable 

 conditions, with the best facilities the State affords, at a minimum ex- 

 pense. Correspondence is invited. There is no similar work offered in 

 the Northwest. Considering the difference in fees and the facilities for 

 camp life attendance may be made with as little expense as at eastern 

 stations from the same distance, with work in a new field, and with side 

 trips and short expeditions such as no other station offers. 



HINTS FOR THOSE CONTEMPLATING ATTENDANCE. 



Avoid bringing trunks. Large trunks are very difficult to handle, 

 and transportation is expensive. Steamer trunks are less troublesome. 

 If possible pack outfits in rolls, covered by canvas, fastened by large 

 and strong straps. Hand baggage of any kind is not troublesome. 



Outdoor and working clothing is adopted by all. Heavy shoes are 

 a necessity. No other kind will stand the wear, if there is to be travel- 

 ling. 



Those who sleep in tents must remember the nights are always 

 cool. A cheap tick, ready to be filled, and two comforts or heavy blank- 

 ets over, with whatever is desired under the individual, are necessary. 

 These can be purchased' after arrival, if this is desired and at reasonable 

 rate. In place of the preceding a sleeping bag is both a luxury and a 

 necessity. 



Reduce baggage to a minimum in weight. Heavy weight of books 

 is not advisable, but reading matter for leisure moments should be 

 "brought. 



In matter of tents leave poles at home. There is abundance of lum- 

 "ber in the region.
