BOOK REVIEWS.
Dr. Clements and Principal Cutter,
tho former of the botanical staff or
the University of Nebraska, and the
latter of the Beatrice, Neb., high
school have brought our what must
prove to bo a very helpful book for
those teachers of elementary botany
who wish to give their pupils n gooJ
courso in laboratory work. Thoro has
been an increasing demand on the part
of University professors that tho high
'school 'lay such a solid foundation in
the sciences that the subsequentwork
in tho university could safely be built
'"upon it. This has wrought a radical
ohango in tho methods of teaching
chemistry and physics in tho high
schools which fit their pupils for uni
versity entrance. For many years
some of the botanists have been de
manding laboratory training in ele
mentary botany for freshmen entrance,
but while tho schools have made some
progress, it is a curious fact that no
serious attempt has hitherto been mado
to supply the high schools with a scien
tific manual comparable to the many
excellent works of this character in
chemistry and physics.
Tho authors of the "Laboratory
Manual of High School Botany" have
attempted to make a book which is at
onco practicable in tho average high
school, as well as strictly scientific.
The pupil who covers the work here
.laid out will be prepared to go forward
in college and university classes with
out tho necessity of unloading and un
'learnlng a lot of rubbish, while at the
'same time if he should go no further
with his studies he has had the satis
faction of knowing that he is in tho
possesion of a considerable body of
useful infomation in regard to the
structure and actions of plants. The
general plan of the book may be ob
tained by a glance at the titles of the
chapters, as follows: General Direc
tions, Plant Structure, or Histology,
Structure and Classification, Phyto
geography, Synoposis of the Larger
Groups of the Vegetable Kingdom,
Physiology, Appendix (containing sug
gestions to teacher), and Glossary.

was something that they could not be
proud of.
Upon counting it was found that
four hundred and fifty tickets were
pledged and it was decided to keep tho

MASS MEETING IN CHAPEL.
On Friday lost a second mass meet
ing was held in chapel in the interest
of football. The mam object of this
meetng was to determine whether the
Grlnnell game should be played on the
campus or in Omaha and incidentaly
to arouse enthusiasm among tho stu
dents. Librarian Wyer acted as chair
man and called the meeting to order
with a few introductory remarks: "It
has become necessary to call another
meeting of the students and it will be
left with them to decide whether the
game with Grlnnell will be trans
ferred to Omaha or not. Wo cannot
run a football team Avithout money,
and judging from the attendance of
tho former games Ave cannot run the
risk of holding the game on the cam
pus unless a sufficient number of pled
ges are received to guarantee expen
ses." The athlotic board distributed slips
through tho audience and Mr. Wyer
called upon Professor Ward to help
sell tho tickets. Tho response at first
Avas slow, but soon the students began
to realize their duty and pledges to sell
from five to ten tickets came in thick
and fast. Here credit should be given
to the young ladies, a great number of
them pledging ten tickets. Chancollor
Andrews pledged forty tickets.
During the sale of tickets Dr. Pound
and Chancellor Andrews wore called
upon for short talks. Dr. White also
gave a talk and disclosed the financial
standing of tho athlotic board telling
he students plainly that thpir support
