208 Notes. 



The Society already comprises among its active workers a 

 considerable number of geographic scientists, who have given 

 liberally of their time and efforts with a view of stimulating 

 public interest in geographic education. The Society is a work- 

 ing one, and in its efforts to exercise an educational influence 

 over the whole of the United States feels justified in asking lib- 

 eral support from high-spirited citizens. The Society numbers 

 among its members over 700 persons and has active representa- 

 tives in every state and territory. 



General A. W. Greely, United States Army ; Professor T. C. 

 Mendenhall, superintendent of the United States Coast and 

 Geodetic Survey, and Professor W. B. Powell, superintendent 

 of public schools of the District of Columbia, constitute the 

 committee charged with the selection of the subject and award 

 of the prizes for 1893.
