Chapter 1063 of The Agassiz Associa- 

 tion was organized in the Durham, North 

 CaroHna. City High School early in 

 December, with a membership of thirty- 

 seven. The following officers were 

 elected: Chapter President, Bert Cun-

pleasure and information. To accomplish 

 this we are individually studying various 

 plants and animals and reporting on them 

 to the Chapter. We are taking and read- 

 ing The; Guide: to Nature; as well as 

 "Bird-Lore." We have also been inter-

OUR PROGRESSIVE CHAPTER O 1- DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA. 

 Holding their Charter. 



Margie Rogers ; Treasurer, Samuel 

 Murry; Assistant Treasurer, Mozelle 

 Wilkerson. Committees were appointed 

 to look after the executive, programme 

 and social features. Wallace Bunn was 

 selected as the operator of the projection 

 lantern. 



Since our organization we have held 

 weekly meetings, and have had reports 

 on vaccination, flies, typhoid fever, ants, 

 molds and tuberculosis. Some of these 

 were illustrated with lantern slides. 



We are this year working for two 

 special objects. The first is personal 



objects is to lay the foundation for pro- 

 gressive work that shall make the high 

 school a center of civic biology. To accom- 

 plish this we are collecting and classifying 

 as far as possible the plants and animals 

 that we can obtain, thus starting what we 

 hope will be a permanent museum. 



We expect to take an active part in any 

 civic biological problem, and we believe 

 that prevention is better than cure. We 

 hope to be able to report some interesting 

 developments in the near future. 



We are enclosing flash light photograph 

 of the Chapter.
