President Schuchert at this point introduced Prof. Emmanuel de 

 Margerie, Director of the Greological Survey of Alsace and Correspondent 

 of the Geological Society of America, calling attention to the fact that 

 this is the first time in the history of the Society that a Correspondent 

 has attended one of its meetings. Professor de Margerie responded 

 briefly, speaking in a very appreciative manner of the work and influence

REPORT OF COMMITTEE OX TEACHIXG GEOLOGY 



H. F. Cleland, chairman of the Committee on the Teaching of Geology, 

 sulnnitted a report by letter, which was read by the Secretary, as follows : 



During the past year the committee has endeavored to carry out some 

 of it-s recommendations of last year. In that report it was recommended 

 that geological models of ten of the principal physiographic provinces 

 be constructed. Specialists on each of these provinces have agreed to 

 furnish the data from which such models can be made. After each model 

 is completed it is to be submitted for correction and approval to the 

 geologist supplying the data. A short description is to accompany each 

 model. One model is completed and has the approval of Prof. E. T. 

 Cliamberlin. It is desired that teachers of geology study the model, 

 which will be on exhibition, and tell the committee whether or not such 

 models will be useful, and, if so. what modification will add to their use- 

 fulness. 



Xo one has been found to construct animated block diagrams for mov- 

 ing pictures, but a moving-picture company has expressed itself as 

 anxious to undertake the production of such films. It is hoped that some 

 competent geological artist will undertake this important work. 



A number of models which were illustrated in the last report of the 

 committee will soon be placed on the market by a well-known firm. 



It is again recommended that standard collections of lantern slides of 

 geological, physiographical, and paleontological subjects be brought to- 

 gether. 



It is further recommended that a method be devised and carried out
