It is now too late for those who have not already subscribed to obtain a
complete set of THE BROCHURE SERIES as our supply of the first three
numbers is exhausted, and no attempt will be made in future to carry in
stock any back numbers. Only enough copies of each issue will be printed
to supply immediate demands. On this account those who wish for the
current numbers must subscribe at once in order to make sure of them.
Less than one hundred copies of the April number are now in stock and
these are fast disappearing. Subscriptions in future will only be taken
to date from the next succeeding issue.

We wish especially to call attention to the arrangement by which clubs
of five subscriptions may be made up for $2, or 40 cents for each
subscription. A very little inquiry among one's friends will bring to
light four who are ready to combine at this price.

The large circulation of THE BROCHURE SERIES among the younger members
of the profession furnishes an excellent opportunity for the interchange
of ideas with men who are all working with the same end in view--the
advancement of the profession of architecture. There may be a wide
difference in their aims, influenced by personal considerations, the
various differences of training and environment; but all are looking
forward to increased opportunities and a wider field of usefulness. The
experience of many young men will be found of value in shaping the
course of those who have not yet won their spurs. It is the purpose of
THE BROCHURE SERIES to furnish information as far as possible on
everything relating to the profession which will help to make the course
of such men an easy one. The articles upon the sketch clubs,
scholarships, and other educational work, have all been intended to
serve this purpose, and the cooperation of all who are working to this
end is earnestly solicited. Our pages will always be open for the
discussion of subjects of vital interest to young architects, and we
shall hope to see the opportunity largely taken advantage of.

American School of Architecture, Rome.

A recent circular issued by the committee of the American School of
Architecture at Rome contains a general description of the organization
of the school and its work. On the twelfth of last June, at a meeting
held in New York, it was decided to found such a school, and a committee
of control was selected
