THE SIDE TIP. I have made arrangements to take the side trip whieh has been announced but in order to do so and have everything go off pleas antlv it is very important that you let me know at once whether you will take this trip or not. It is proposed to leave Greenville on T'hursday night at one o'clock and go from there to Atlanta. spending Friday and Friday niaht in Atlanta returning from Atlanta on Saturday and stopping at Tallulah Falls over Saturday night and Sunday and Sunday' night returning to Greenville Monday afternoon in time to make trains coming South. I will not complete the arrangemend4s, however, unless I am satis fied that at least 25 members of the Association indicate a desire to take this trip. The cost of the trip will be about as follows: Railroad fare Greenville to Tallulah Falls via Atlanta and back to Greenville, $7.26: hotel. Atlanta. European plan $1.50: hotel at Tallulah Falls, American plan, $3.50. You will see from this statement that the total actual expense of the t.rip will be in the neighborhood of $15.00. Tallulah Falls is considered the Niagara of the.South. Tihe scen erv is beautiful. "A very healthful and invigorating climate, the land of health. pleasure, and rest, where blackberries, huckleberries and fried chicken abound." If there were as many as 50 who desired to take the trip and I could get the information at once I could secure a special train, but I think tihe regular schedules will answer and the railroads will fur nish a special coach. Of course, those who desire a Pullman from Greenville to Atlanta will have to pay $2.00 extra. I must know not later than the 15th of this month whether or not the trip will be taken so that the railroads will have time in which to make the necessary traffic arrangements.

Teachers to Cooperate With Forest Service in Tree Study. Teachers throughout the country have been invited by the United States forester to cooperate -with the forest service in an effort to obtain more definite knowledge of the char aeteristies of the most important for est trees of the United States. To do this it will be necessary to obtain a large number of volunteer observ ers who will collect material on the time of leafing, blossoming. and fruit ing of the various kinds of forest trees. In his letter the cooperation of the teachers. Forester Pinehot says: SKnowledge of this kind is greatly needed and will be of value from lic staindIoint bot: of education and (if practi-al forestry. F1r eVdatioiial pIurposes tie resultih; obtained for each species. averaged and presented gra phically by means of colored eharts, will be available to all who are inter ested in the subject, and particularly to schools. They will form virtual "tree calendars.' and will be valia ble aids to nature study. "Children can readily be interest ed in the actual work of obtaining records. This should form an attrac tive outdoor feature of the school wvork that should serve to develop the faculty of accurate observation, and at the same time'to promote an inter est in forestry whiich may lead to a better appreciation of its aims and methods. It may also prove to be a profitable additon to botany courses for older students. "'A study of this kind will be of great value to pirae.tical forestry, since the proper treatm.ent of forests de pends partly upon a knewlodge of these eharacteristies of trees. For example, the time of'year at which a tree leafs out and blossoms is one of the indications as to whether or not it is frost-hardy in a given region, and the length of time that a tree is in leaf influences the growt'h it is able to make ~during the season. Knowledge of the time when seede of each species ripen in various locali ties is of great value to those who are collecting .seed. since seed. often de teriorates or is eaten by squirrels and birds if; not gathered and stored as soon as nape. ''Another result of this study will be a more intimate knowledge of cli mate as manifested by plant growth, for~j differences in climate are showa by plant life as well as by instru ments. and a preliminarv idea can thus be gained as to whether a given region is suited to a valuable tree which it is desired to inltrodluce there. Many suchI examples could be given, but sufficient has been said to show that the results of these observa'tions will be a real help to practical fores try, in addition to their general inter est and educational value. Volun reers will latell be supplied with pub lications and charts containinz the in formatIon they help to gather, as a return for the services rendered. '' On request. th:e forest service will be glad to sendl forms upon which to record data and a pamphlet contain ing full instructions as to the nature of t he observations and how they are to be made. According to a report of the United States census, it is stated that the mortality of the Indians from tuber eulosis is undoubtedly far higher than that of either the whites or the negroes, although it is believed by careful investigators that the disease was entirely absent before the advent of the whites in America. The most prominent tuberculosis specialists in the country agree that alcohol will not eure consumption. Dr. S. A. Knopf savs: "Alcohol has never cured and never will cure tuber culosis. It will either prevent or re tard recovery." Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago, and Dr. Vincent Y. Bow 844. ational I This entire Safety F c- t. In placing an ac consderation.
