thirty-one  weeks  and  cover  at  least  1500  hours  of  instruction,  which 
is  25  per  cent,  more  than  the  number  of  hours  required  by  the 
American  Conference.  The  entrance  requirement  is  the  completion 
of  at  least  one  year  of  high-school  instruction  or  its  equivalent  (15 
counts). 
The  three-year  course  will  be  continued,  leading  to  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Pharmacy  (Phar.D.J.  Thirty-one  weeks  of  instruction 
will  be  given  each  year.  The  entrance  requirements  for  this  course 
will  be  four  years  of  completed  high-school  work  or  its  equivalent 
(60  counts).  This  course  will  embrace  both  laboratory  work  and 
didactic  instruction  of  an  advanced,  character,  with  the  laboratory 
work  predominating. 
In  the  two-year  course,  commercial  pharmacy  will  be  treated 
more  extensively  than  heretofore.  This  College  has  conducted  a 
compulsory  course  in  this  branch  for  fifteen  years,  and  many  new 
features  have  been  added  to  meet  the  demand  from  all  parts  of  the 
country  for  a  pharmacist  with  better  business  equipment. 
In  the  professional  education  the  standards  will  not  be  relaxed. 
In  the  third  year,  students  will  be  given  advance  instruction 
in  analytical  chemistry,  pharmacognosy  and  botany,  bacteriology, 
food  analysis,  manufacturing  pharmacy,  biological  assays,  jurispru- 
dence, etc. 
A  course  in  chemistry  and  pharmacy,  leading  to  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Chemistry  and  Pharmacy  (B.Sc),  will  extend 
over  four  years  of  thirty-one  weeks  each.  The  entrance  require- 
ments for  this  course  are  the  same  as  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Pharmacy,  and  it  includes  advanced  work  in  chemistry,  technical 
microscopy,  and  bacteriology,  and  is  designed  especially  for  the 
education  of  analysts  and  food  and  drug  chemists.

The  Determination  of  Small  Quantities  of  Hydrocyanic  Acid. 
June  11,  1915. 
To  the  Editor: 
In  the  article  "  On  the  Determination  of  Small  Quantities  of 
Hydrocyanic  Acid,"  printed  in  the  June  issue  of  The  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy,  there  is  a  misprint  in  the  conclusions 
wherein  it  is  stated  that  the  presence  of  potassium  chloride  in  the 
liquid  to  be  tested  has  proved  to  be  of  great  advantage.    The  salt
