NOTES ON PERIODICALS AND BOOKS 



The Educational News Bulletin, published by State Supt. C. P. 

 Cary, Madison, Wisconsin, prints a letter from the Wisconsin Anti- 

 Tuberculosis Association appealing to boys and girls of Wisconsin to 

 enlist in the crusade against the white plague, "which sweeps away each 

 year in Wisconsin 2500 persons, and from the ravages of which from ten to 

 twenty thousand Wisconsin people are now suffering". The letter urges 

 the purchase of the Red Cross stamps and offers two of the Gulick 

 hygiene books to each pupil who sells five hundred stamps. 



Nature and Culture is a most attractive little monthly edited by 

 Eugene Swope and published from No. 4 West 7th Street, Cincinnati, 

 Ohio. The illustrations are unusually choice. In the December issue an 

 article by Henry Thol on "Some Snakes I Have Known" especially 

 appeals to the writer of this note, who has never indulged in the popular 

 antipathy toward the innocent members of the serpent tribe.
