A

CONCISE treatment suited to beginning students
and to more general readers. The chapter on Ex-
perimental Evolution has received the approval of the
author of the mutation theory as being an accurate
presentation of the essentials of that theory.

Contents in Brief: Life History of a Fern; Funda-
mental Principles; Heredity; Experimental Study of
Heredity; Evolution; Darwinism; Experimental Evo-
lution; Evolution of Plants; Geographical Distribution;
Paleobotany; Evolution of Plants, Concluded; Great
Groups of Plants; Bibliography.

"The Science

of Every Day"

-The modern idea of physics

Millikan and Gale's
Practical Physics

fits this definition admirably.
The correlation of the events
of the pupil's every day life
with abstract physical laws
gives these laws a new and
definite meaning. Practical
explanations of the aeroplane,
the submarine, the tank and
the wireless- telephone cannot
but arouse enthusiasm.
