 Mineralogical Literature, by Professors Alfred J. Moses and 'Lea I. Luquer, 

 Columbia University. In thus enlarging the scope of the Journal it is sought 

 to give comprehensive reviews of the principal papers in all branches of science 

 involving the use of the microscope, thus placing the busy teacher, physician, 

 or student in touch with the most recent literature in all languages. 



Summer schools are one of the most important factors in the improvement of 

 science teaching. The establishment and maintenance of suitable summer 

 courses for teachers of all grades has received the support of the most eminent 

 biologists. The work done, and lectures given, very often outclass the best 

 regular college courses. That a large number of science teachers appreciate the 

 opportunities thus offered, and make the most of them, speaks volumes for the 

 science teaching of the future. There are, however, many who do not, as yet, 

 appreciate the advantages now so easily attained. With such schools and 

 laboratories as are each summer opened to teachers at Woods HoU, Cold Spring 

 Harbor, Colorado Springs, Turkey Lake, University of Illinois, and many other 

 places, the teacher is not only able to keep in touch with the most advanced 

 research, but to get in the way of doing a little investigating himself ; and no 

 teacher can be a real success, as a teacher, unless he possesses the spirit, at 

 least, of an investigator. The summer school offers another advantage in that, 

 by a natural division of labor and the discussion of the results obtained by each, 

 all acquire a broader view of the field. The meeting together year after year 

 results in the accomplishment of work which would otherwise be an impossibility. 

 When planning the summer vacation, let it include a course at one of the good 

 summer schools and attendance at the meetings of one or more of the scientific 

 societies. This year an especially favorable opportunity is offered, as the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science, with which are affiliated 

 many other societies devoted to special branches, and the American Microscop- 

 ical Society hold their meetings at Columbus, Ohio, at nearly the same time.
