We have to thank the Provost and Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania for their hospitality in permitting the Extension Society to use their buildings and grounds. Our thanks are also due to Professor W. P. Wilson, particularly for his aid in organizing; to Dr. Edward Everett Hale, for his extra evening lectures, and to him and Mr. Sparhawk for their addresses at Haverford; to Rev. Dr. Fulton and Rev. W. N. McVicker for sermons delivered especially with reference to University Extension; to Dr. Talcott Williams for his services as lecturer and his invaluable advice and counsel; to Professor Moulton for his evening recitals, which were donated, and to Dr. Edmund J. James for his second course. It must not be forgotten that many of the lecturers, as Professors Cope, Macfarlane and Kingsley, and Mr. Woodruff and others received a merely nominal fee. Mrs. W. P. Wilson contributed the whole of her services gratis. The fees of Professors Lamberton, Lawton and Bevier, as well as the Rev. William Bayard Hale, were exceedingly small. Professor Woodrow Wilson charged nothing for the inaugural address. Mrs. Stirling's contribution of $10 from the amount given her by the Association Local Centre scholarship might also be noticed, and the kindness of the Athletic Association in giving us the use of the University Athletic Grounds also deserves recognition. The total receipts of the Summer Meeting were, $3,438.99 expenses 4,058.63 66 Making a total deficit of $619.64 The great expense of securing lecturers of the highest class and the prevalent hard times are sufficient reasons for the failure to meet the expenses of an educational undertaking which was in itself a memorable success. Table No. 1 shows the registration of students. Table No. 4 gives the program of the lectures, and the names of the lecturers. We annex also a list of lectures and subjects, and submit the whole for your consideration. Very respectfully, FREDERICK B. MILES, Chairman, CHARLES E. BUSHNELL, EDMUND J.

The Criterion Lantern is now generally conceded to be the best made, as within its scope is every possible lantern illustration, from the simple projection of the usual lantern slide view to the highest class scientific demonstration. Illustration represents our latest style "Criterion" Oxy-Hydrogen Lantern, Model B; the foundation lantern in the series of view and sclentific projection apparatus. Future advertisements will represent this same lantern with other forms of illuminant and in various combinations for various uses. All changes are easily made, without the use of tools. We will be pleased to send printed matter to, and correspond with, Inquirers, and to show apparatus in operation at either of our offices In New York, or at any of our agencies. We are making special efforts in the educational field. MODEL B. Main Offices, 115-117 Nassau St., New York. JOHN H. THURSTON, 50 Bromfield St., Boston, Mass. L. L.

Workshop Reconstruction and Citizenship. By C. R. ASHBEE, M. A., Architect, King's College, Cambridge. Ordinary Edition, on imitation hand-made paper, 166 pp., octavo, illustrated. Cloth, uncut, $1.50. Edition de luxe, $5.00. The author's plea is, that the factory or workshop is made for man, and not man for the shop. The new morale of labor is set forth from the point of view of the artist, the architect, the teacher, the social reformer, the laborer, and the capitalist. Mr. Ashbee believes that the standard of artistic excellence will depend ultimately upon the pleasure the product gives, not to the consumer, but to the producer. The crux of social advance lies in the conflict between old traditions and modern conditions. The Arden Shakespeare. Gives prominence to literary interpretation rather than to grammar and philology.
