Theprice is $2.00. Dr. David Prescott Barrows who took his Ph.D.degree in 1897 has just issued his thesis entitledThe Ethno-Botany of the Coahuilla Indians of{Southern California.

Dr. Barrows accompanied by his wife visitedthe habitat of the tribe and his investigations restnot merely upon what other scholars have done,but also upon his personal studies.

The building that has beenplanned includes reading rooms and club rooms to be opennightly for men and boys, suitable quarters for the cookingclasses, which now are turned away for lack of room, and ahome for the residents, of whom there are at present ninein quarters which are comfortable only for five.
