This is a chemical number indeed and a mine of information for the layman in regard to the nature of the operations of modern applied chemistry. We hope the magazine will find a wide circle of readers and that other journals will follow the same idea and issue a chemical number now and again.

THE report of the Committee of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers on Chemical EngineerVOl. II. OCTOBER, 19 IO. No. 10 ing Education,’ written by the chairman of the committee, Dr. F. W.
