Let one of the first plans for the year be 

 to secure more knowledge about our occupa- 

 tion. Certainly we each know some things 

 that others do not, and every other man 

 knows something that we do not. Writing 

 and talking with others, what others think 

 and say, as given in books and papers, are 

 all sources of new ideas. One cannot read 

 a book or paper without getting some new 

 idea, or suggestion, that will help his own 

 thinking or planning. 



Contributors who so kindly favnred us with 

 MSS., in answer to our offer which we 

 have withdrawn for th present — accept our 

 thanks. Please be patient, they will appear 

 in due time as we are crowded for room. 



Our Premium offered in Dec. No. we still 

 continue, those wishing to avail themselves 

 of this golden opportunity should do so at 

 once. A rare curiosity. A rare opportuni- 

 ty.

 heading for exchanges.
