According to this report, thecommittee was formed in 1893, consisting of 150 members, most of them professors at the university andother institutions in Moscow. The committee publishes every year a Collection of syllabuses for systematic reading, comprising the seven departments ofscience : Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, Biology, Philosophy, Sociology and Law, History, Literature. Each of these cycles is divided into four annualcourses, corresponding to the curriculum of the Russian universities. Three of these collections havebeen edited corresponding to the first, second, andthird eourses. In the syllabuses are printed lists ofthe needful books, and books recommended to readersas giving helpful information. An outline of prescribed reading is given, followed by series of questions. The readers may send answers to these questions to the committee for examination, also theirstudy papers, essays, etc. As far as possible, thecommittee will give explanations to the readers concerning the difficulties met with in the course ofreading. Each reader pays for this the sum of threerubles. The members of the committee do not receiveany remuneration for their work. Books are loanedout for a special fee. The sale of these syllabusesseems to be very large. The first collection, making abook of 192 pages, which has been out now for threeyears, has been printed in three editions aggregating25,000 copies. The fourth edition is now in press.The second collection (336 pp.) edited about a yearago, was published in an edition of 10,000 copies, allof which are exhausted. The third collection (320 pp.)has just appeared.It will be seen from the above account that the HomeReading Union offers a sort of correspondence work,the demand for which seems to be very great andrapidly growing. According to the report, the readersare scattered from Warsaw to Quiachta and Vladivostok, and from Archangel to Tashkent. e. j. j. Reports of the University Elementary School.I.At the beginning of the Fall term, the children ofall the groups began work upon seeds and fruits inrelation to their means of dissemination.The older groups, V, VI, VII, and VIII, after studying seed vessels and seed coats to discover, if possible,a means of distribution, classified the seeds they hadfor study, according to the methods of dissemination.They made four lists :1. Seeds scattered by the wind.2. Seeds scattered by animals. This group wassubdivided, (a) seeds of the burr tribe which clingto the fur of animals; (b) seeds like nuts used bysquirrels for food; (c) the hard-seeded berrylikefruits, scattered by birds.3. Seeds scattered by the explosive opening ofthe seed vessel.4. Seeds like the poppy and lotus, scattered frompores in the pod by the waving of the stalk from sideto side.The children discussed the color of many of thefruits, finding a reason for the various colors of manyof them.A few sentences were written about each method ofdistribution and drawings made of nearly every seedin the lists.One or two other methods of which they were notable to find examples were talked about, as well asthe four methods they found.Each of the older children made himself a bookcover to contain his records and drawings. Anoriginal design, adapted from some seed, thought bythe child to have ornamental characteristics, waspainted upon this cover with the word "Botany" andthe child's name in ornamental lettering. Perfectfreedom and originality were allowed in these designs,only a few simple principles of ornament being giventhem.The younger children classified seeds in the sameway but did less work. They drew examples of eachkind, the youngest on the blackboard and the olderones on paper, writing the name of each seed after thedrawing.They performed experiments to. test the buoyancyof seeds and discussed this as a factor in the distribution of the seeds of plants growing on the banks ofstreams.In the younger classes many more fruits werestudied than were drawn, enough so that even theyoungest could tell at a glance the method of distribution for which any newly found seed was adapted.282 UNIVEBSITY BECOBDAll of the children were encouraged to bring toclass the fruits and seeds that they could find ; several excursions were made to neighboring vacant lots.The children readily responded and a large collectionwas made. These seeds Groups I and II put into envelopes of their own making, sealed and labeled readyfor work on germination later.The children discussed man's use of seeds as foodand the artificial dissemination caused by the transportation of fruits and grains. They talked about thereason seeds were given a means of distribution andwhy it is necessary that such a great number of seedsbe formed by a plant to propagate its kind.The children enjoyed the reading in class of thearticles concerning seed distribution in Gibson'sSharp Eyes and many of them were stimulated tomake better drawings by the fine illustrations in thatbook. The work above outlined occupied from fourto ^.Ye weeks with different groups.Current Events.Mr. Edward C. Page, Associate in History, gave anaddress before the Victoria Club of Oregon, 111., onFriday, November 12, his subject being " The Indianin his Relation to American History."Mr. F. Marion Crawford the novelist was given areception at the Quadrangle Club Monday, November15, and in the course of the evening made a very interesting address upon his work as a writer.The Calendar.november 19-27, 1897.Friday, November 19.Chapel-Assembly : Graduate Schools. — Chapel, CobbLecture Hall, 10: 30 a.m.Romance Club meets in JRoom C 13, Cobb LectureHall, 4:00 p.m.Dr. de Poyen-Bellisle will read a paper on "The Pro-foundest Note in the French Lyric Poetry of Our Day."Saturday, November 20.Administrative Board of the University Affiliations,8:30 a.m.Faculty of the Senior Colleges, 10:00 a.m.Faculty of the Divinity School, 11:30 a.m.Sunday, November 21.Vesper Service.
