Vegetarian Babies Wanted

By Editor

It is proposed to make the October issue of the Pacific Health Journal a vegetarian number, and the editor would be glad to receive photographs of “superb specimens of vegetarian babies” one year of age or more, with name, age, and a brief sketch of habits and condition of health. Photographs of those who have never tasted meat in any form are preferred. Those who desire to have their photographs returned should write the name and address plainly on the back of each one. A prompt response to this call is requested, as the time is short. Address G. H. Heald, M. D., Sanitarium, Napa Co., Cal.

The Removal to Washington

By Editor

WE are sure that our readers will appreciate the difficulty of removing our office of publication from Battle Creek to Washington without any interruption in the regular weekly issue of the paper. In order to do this it becomes necessary to have the papers printed in another office for a short time while we are getting settled, and are fitting up our own office. During this period of change and transfer it seems necessary to issue the REVIEW as a sixteen-page paper, but we shall plan to return to the usual number of pages just as soon as possible. In view of all the circumstances we feel confident that the members of the REVIEW family will not feel like making any complaint, but will cheerfully acquiesce in such arrangements as become necessary in order to carry out the instruction to remove to another location.

A Good Reference Book

By A. G. Daniells

OUR people who are especially interested in our educational work should secure a copy of the report of the Educational Convention held at College View last June.

This convention was called and conducted by the Department of Education of the General Conference. It was attended by the heads of all our colleges, academies, and training-schools, also by several of the head teachers of our intermediate schools. There was a good attendance of the Union and State secretaries and superintendents of schools. A large number of church-school teachers were present. Several members of General, Union, and State Conference Committees attended this meeting in the interests of the educational work.

The convention lasted ten days, and nearly every hour of every day was put to good use in an earnest effort to reach the highest and broadest purposes of the occasion. It would be too much to claim that all was accomplished that could be desired, but it is fair to say that the meeting was one of great value to the school work of this denomination.

Stenographic reports were taken of all the important addresses and discussions for the purpose of supplying those who could not attend the convention with a report of the most important features. These reports have been carefully edited, and printed in a book of 134 pages. This report gives the cream of the discussions of the following topics: History, Science, The Relation of Schools, Language, Industrial Work, Text-books, Organization of Church-schools, Support of Christian Schools. It also gives reports of various committees.

While no report of a convention of this kind can equal the meeting itself, a report may preserve and pass on to others much of the valuable part of the meeting. This has been done in the report of the College View Convention. All our people interested in the development of the educational work should read this little book. Price twenty-five cents. Address the Secretary, Prof. Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass.
