ANNOUNCEMENTS. 



One of the duties of the Secretary is the compilation of a directory 

 of persons interested in science work, the teachers of science in our 

 public schools and others, in the state. Members of the Academy 

 can greatly assist in this work by sending in to the office as many of 

 these names as possible. 



In accordance with the resolution passed at the last session of the 

 Academy, members will please send in their photographs to the office. 



Papers presented at the Academy meetings, particularly those in- 

 tended for publication in the Transactions, should be typewritten care- 

 fully before being filed for publication. The printer declines to send 

 proof-sheets all over the country because of the delay and extra ex- 

 pense ; therefore, the proof-reading devolves on the Secretary, and 

 correct typewritten copy is far more important to the author than to 

 either the Secretary or the printer. It will facilitate the work of pub- 

 lication and avoid irritating errors that are sure to occur when manu- 

 script copy is used. Typewrite your papers and then read them over 

 carefully. One or two errors discovered in a printed scientific article 

 or book frequently cast a doubt in the mind of the reader over the 

 entire article or work. 



The next meeting of the Academy will be held near the close of the 

 year 1903, at Manhattan. 



ToPEKA, Kan., May, 1903. Secretary.
