and  further,  that  this  scholarship  be  awarded  on  the  basis  of  the  applicant's 
scholastic  training,  his  standing  as  an  undergraduate  pharmaceutical  student 
and  upon  his  fitness  to  do  research. 
The  action  of  the  joint  bodies  at  Indianapolis  is  recorded  in  the 
minutes  of  this  meeting  on  pp.  60-64,  inclusive,  of  the  January 
issue,  191 8,  Journal  A.  Ph.  A.  A  careful  study  of  these  pages  is 
suggested. 
It  would  seem  advisable  that  each  school  decide  on  an  eligible 
candidate  for  the  Fairchild  Scholarship.  It  is  also  advised  that  a 
record  be  kept  of  the  preliminary  education  possessed  by  the  pro- 
spective candidates,  of  their  pharmaceutical  training  and  education, 
of  their  ability  to  do  research  work. 
The  suggestion  has  been  made,  although  this  has  not,  as  far  as 
Ave  know,  been  definitely  agreed  upon,  that  each  school  of  the  Con- 
ference propose  one  candidate,  and  that  the  deans  of  the  schools 
furnish  the  Fairchild  Scholarship  Examination  Committee  with  data 
which  will  form  the  basis  of  their  decision. 
Doubtless  Chairman  Christensen  will  notify  all  schools  of  the 
Conference,  as  promptly  as  is  possible,  of  the  conclusions  reached 
by  the  committee,  and  make  definite  requests  for  information  from 
them  that  is  necessary  for  making  the  award.  The  plan  does  not 
contemplate  any  other  examination,  and  therefore  award  will  be 
made  in  time  for  next  school  term. 
Schools  and  boards  of  pharmacy  should  confer  with  Chairman 
H.  C.  Christensen,  whose  address  is  4149  Vincennes  Ave.,  Chicago, 
111. 
Respectfully, 
E.  G.  Eberle, 
Chairman  Fairchild  Scholarship  Committee. 
A  CORRECTION. 
In  the  paper  on  "  A  Method  for  Cleaning  Digitalis  with  a  Study 
of  the  Inorganic  Constituents,"  which  was  published  in  the  April 
1918,  issue  of  this  journal,  the  paragraph  on  page  249  relating  to  the 
qualitative  determinations  should  read  beginning  with  the  fourth 
line  as  follows :  Positive  reactions  were  obtained  from  each  of  the 
above  samples  for  iron,  aluminum,  manganese,  calcium,  magnesium, 
potassium,  sodium,  silicon,  carbonates,  chlorides,  sulphates,  and  phos-
