STUDENTS' EXHIBIT AT COLUMBUS MEETING, AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY* MARTINV. MCGILL, LORAIN HIGHSCHOOL, LORAIN, OHIO
The first exhibit of students' work a t an American Chemical Society meeting was a decided success. Though not large, i t was inspiring enough to warrant repetition. The exhibit was the happy idea of Charles H. Stone, chemistry instructor a t English High School, Boston, Massachusetts, who, following the Swampscott meeting in September, 1928, suggested to the Executive Committee of the Division of Chemical Education the advisability of holding an exhibit of students' work as a feature of the Division meeting. The idea found favor a t once, and Dr. Jesse E. Day, Ohio State University, and assistant secretary of the Division, was asked to take charge. No special attempt was made to secure exhibits, except through announcements in chemical educational journals. The students' work was on display in the general chemistry laboratory, adjoining the room in which meetings of the Division of Chemical Education were held. Over one-half of the available space in the laboratory was used, and the majority of the exhibits were mounted on large slabs of wallboard, arranged o n a framework on laboratory tables. Any teacher who will look over the list of exhibits will find many snggestions for extra credit and regular class work. Also, many teachers will find that they are doing worthwhile things as a part of their regular work, which they do not find listed here. ,For the benefit of fellow teachers, it is hoped that all teachers of chemistry will make, from time to time, definite contributions to this new phase of American Chemical Society meetings. The following is a tabulated list of exhibits by schools. In some few cases, names of students were missing from a piece of work, and where a project involved a large group, names of individuals were not listed. If any work has been overlooked, it has not been intentional, and each student, whose exhibit was on display, can feel that he or she has made a definite contribution to chemical education. Thanks of the Division should also go to Dr. Jesse E. Day and his staff of helpers for mounting and arranging the display.
