  Co-operation 
  in 
  Geologic 
  Instruction. 
  

  

  It 
  appears 
  that 
  the 
  money 
  annually 
  expended 
  by 
  educa- 
  

   tional 
  institutions 
  for 
  field 
  instruction 
  amounts 
  to 
  approx- 
  

   imately 
  $24,000, 
  and 
  if 
  the 
  cost 
  of 
  training 
  1 
  field 
  men 
  by 
  

   the 
  Federal 
  and 
  State 
  surveys 
  were 
  added 
  the 
  figure 
  

   would 
  be 
  much 
  larger. 
  Once 
  started, 
  the 
  proposed 
  field 
  

   school 
  might 
  expect 
  contributions 
  from 
  many 
  sources. 
  

   Universities 
  and 
  surveys 
  and 
  scientific 
  societies 
  might 
  

   feel 
  justified 
  in 
  supporting 
  such 
  a 
  school 
  even 
  if 
  not 
  con- 
  

   tinuously 
  used 
  by 
  them. 
  About 
  40 
  institutions 
  subscribe 
  

   to 
  the 
  Marine 
  Zoological 
  Laboratory 
  at 
  Woods 
  Hole. 
  

   Many 
  of 
  them 
  use 
  it 
  regularly 
  ; 
  some 
  rarely. 
  A 
  number 
  

   of 
  institutions 
  contribute 
  annually 
  to 
  the 
  maintenance 
  of 
  

   the 
  American 
  School 
  of 
  Classical 
  Studies 
  at 
  Athens 
  and 
  

   a 
  similar 
  school 
  at 
  Rome. 
  

  

  Geological 
  instruction 
  has 
  received 
  little 
  attention 
  from 
  

   organizations 
  and 
  individuals 
  interested 
  in 
  research, 
  but 
  

   to 
  my 
  mind 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  large 
  importance. 
  Progress 
  

   in 
  science 
  involves 
  an 
  increasing 
  supply 
  of 
  thoroughly 
  

   trained 
  workers.
