its  quota  of  service  and  we  are  thankful  for  the  increased  encour- 
agement and  support  that  has  been  accorded. 
It  is  not  our  forte  to  peer  into  the  crystal  globe  or  to  acquire 
a  prophetic  vision  of  what  the  year  1921  has  in  store.  We  acknowl- 
edge that  we  are  imbued  with  optimism.  A  nation  that  is  credited 
with  25  per  cent,  of  the  world's  production  has  such  a  start  on  the 
highway  of  prosperity  that,  with  but  the  exercise  of  customary 
energy  and  ingenuity  coupled  with  the  ethics  of  fair  business,  it 
should  readily  maintain  its  lead.  We  salute  the  new  year.  We 
welcome  192 1  as  another  year  of  great  opportunities  with  prospects 
of  ample  reward. 
Let  us  impress  upon  our  readers  that  to  pharmacy  will  come 
its  share  of  possibilities  and  the  success  and  progress  of  our  pro- 
fessional and  trade  interests  during  the  year  will  be  dependent 
entirely  upon  the  energy  and  the  concerted  efforts  of  organized 
pharmacy.  As  we  celebrate  this  year  the  centennial  of  the  estab- 
lishment of  pharmaceutical  education  in  America,  it  would  appear 
that  this  was  to  be  a  year  of  golden  opportunity  for  pharmacy.  We 
earnestly  appeal  to  every  member  of  our  calling  to  turn  a  new 
leaf ;  to  this  year  honor  pharmacy  as  never  before  and  to  be  an 
honor  to  its  ideals.  We  pledge  anew  the  utmost  efforts  of  the 
oldest  pharmaceutical  journal  in  America  toward  advancing  the 
interests  of  pharmacy  and  making  192 1  a  year  of  phenomenal 
success. 
With  the  commencement  of  this  year  we  are  pleased  indeed  to 
note  the  increased  circle  of  contributors,  patrons  and  readers,  and 
to  express  our  appreciation  of  the  kindly  interest  manifested  in 
our  endeavors  and  our  indebtedness  to  these  for  the  broader  field 
of  usefulness  thus  placed  at  the  command  of  the  "Jourmd-"  We 
are  happy  to  extend  once  more  to  all  our  sincere  Best  Wishes  that 
192 1  will  prove  to  be  a  year  of  unbounded  Happiness  and  Pros- 
perity.
