14 ILLINOIS STATE ACADEMY OP ,SCIENCE 



sending of representatives of the clubs, and members of 

 the science faculties, to the meetings of the Academy of 

 Science. About 120 letters, together with copies of a 

 suggested constitution for such clubs, were sent out to 

 high schools of northern Illinois. The committee sug- 

 gested for the consideration of the Academy the advisa- 

 bility of taking measures to organize the high schools of 

 Illinois for science by personal means, through leaders 

 who will become acquainted with the schools, teachers, 

 principals and students, as well as the community, and by 

 a personal touch with all maintain an interest in science, 

 even though local teachers may come and go. In some 

 such way high school science clubs can not only be or- 

 ganized and maintained but they can be related in a defi- 

 nite way to the Academy of Science. 



The above report was accepted.
