They coordinate volunteers to help with all kinds of 6100 Berkman Dr. enrichment activities, from tutoring to field trips. Parents who are involved in their child’s school are likely to develop better relationships with their teachers, leading to better communication about the child’s progress. Students’ grades, attendance, and test scores all improve when parents Sept are active in the school building.

Dadani PREFACE IN 1895 there was begun, in the American Bee Journal, a department of "Questions and Answers," with Doctor C. C. Miller in charge, the object being to give information to readers on special subjects, perplexing to the beekeeper, and not specifically covered by the different bee literature. In the twenty-two years that Doctor Miller has answered these queries of subscribers (he is still conducting this department) almost every subject in beekeeping has been touched. His wide experience, his inimitable style, and the clearness with which he writes have made these answers invaluable. The present volume is a compilation of a thousand questions, culled out of many thou- sands and arranged in alphabetical order for convenience. Its object is not to supplant ex- isting text-books on beekeeping, but rather to supplement them. MAURICE G. DADANT. DR. MILLER'S THOUSAND ANSWERS Absconding (See also Desertion, Swarms Leaving.)—Q.
