48 NA TURE-STUD Y RE VIEW [17 :2— Feb., 1921 



The election of officers for the ensuing year then took place with 

 the following results: President, J. Andrew Drushel of the Harris 

 Teachers' College, St. Louis, Mo.; vice-presidents, M. R. Van 

 Cleve, Toledo, O., A. E. Satterthwait, Webster Groves, Mo., 

 W. G. Vinal, Providence, R. I., Theodosia Hadley, Kalamazoo, 

 Mich., and W. T. Heilman, Columbus, Ohio. 



The report of the Secretary-Editor was as follows: The 

 Nature-Study Review shows a steady increase in nimiber of sub- 

 scribers, its circulation at present being about 2400, an increase of 

 more than 200 since last year despite the increase of price forced 

 upon the publishers by the high cost of paper and labor. One new 

 club has been added to the subscription list during the past year. 

 This is a club of 125 members at Webster Groves, Mo., and every 

 member, even when there are two in a family, subscribe to The 

 Review. The St. Louis Club numbers 225, and the Pittsburgh 

 Club 175 members, all subscribers to the magazine. Professor 

 M. R. Van Cleve, Director of Nature-Study in the Toledo schools 

 has placed the Review in the hands of over 100 of his teachers. 



The advisability of having one or two ntimbers of the Review 

 each year gotten up by local clubs was discussed with the result 

 that next year we shall make the trial by having the November 

 number taken care of by the Chicago Nature-Study Club. 



At noon we sought refreshment in the cafeteria of the Ida Noyes 

 building for the women students of the Chicago University, a 

 beautiful building in its every appointment. 



The afternoon session was given over to "A survey of Twenty 

 Years Progress in Nature-Study" which was discussed by Miss 

 Alice Jean Patterson, Miss Ellen Eddy Shaw, Dr. E. R. Downing, 

 A. F. Satterthwait, Professor E. L. Palmer and the Secretary- 

 Editor. The discussion appears in this nimiber of the Review, but 

 it is a great pity that the many informal remarks made during this 

 very interesting discussion were not reported and cannot be given 

 to our readers. 



The meeting adjourned at six o'clock, and it was the sentiment 

 expressed by all present that it was the most successful meeting 

 ever held by the society. We adjourned in time to attend the 

 delightful dinner at the Atlantic Hotel given to us by the Chicago 

 Nature-Studv Club.
