Every i town and hamlet in the Vnited States i with a population exceeding 100 in I habitants contains one or more mem i bers of the National Geographic so I ciety, according to a report just made ' to the societ? at its headquarters here. I by Gilbert H. Grosvenor. director and editor. Fifteen years uro the society was small and unknown; today It is the largest and most popular scientific I organization in the world, with a i membership of 2 8 1,5. 16. Its history ! reads like a modern fairy tale. ; In 1888. the National Geographic society was organized under a nationul j charter "to promote the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge." Its only income was the dues of its ' members. l'"7 in number. It had no ! permanent home, its headquarters oc- cupying half of a small office room. It i constantly faced a deficit. Tho society struggled through a hand-to-mouth existence as a local society until 1899. j when a new question, unique in tha history of science, was asked. Why I not take the science of geography Into . the homes of the people? Why not popularize the magazine the society 1 was publishing, tranAorming it from one of cold scientific fact, expressed in . hieroglyphic terms which the layman could not understand, into a medium for earning the living, breathing, human-interest fact about tha wide world into the family circle? Would ; not that be the greatest agency of all for the diffusion of geographic knowl edge? When this policy was adopted, the society had less than 2 D (1 members outside the city of Washington. Una 1 year later its out-of-town membership had Increased live fold. As tho so ciety's income increased, the money was reinvested in its magazine. By 1904, five years after tho change In policy, the membership list Included 22 T8 names. Four years later, there were 28,198 members, and 11S.2D5 in another four years. In the last 12 i months 100.000 new members have been enrolled. The membership of the society now extends into every state and territory in the Vnited States; every country of North and South America and Europe; practi cally every country in Asia, and into 43 towns in Africa. The society's work of Increasing geographic knowledge, by encouraging exploration and research work with such financial grants as its resources will permit, has taken it into many fieUlR. H has Just embarked on an other expedition to the wilds of Peru. A series of investigations, extending over three years, of the glaciers of I Alaska has been completed. The so- ciety investigated the recent eruption of Mt. Katmal, in Alaska. It sent an expedition to Mount Pelee and La I Soufriere to study the eruptions of I these volcanoes, and a trained geolo i glut to Sicily to investigate the Mes ! slna earthquake. It has assisted va ! rious Arctic expeditions. ! The correspondence of the society ! Indicates the remarkable range of In ! terest of Its members. Here's a letter j from a man wanting to know who ! publishes the best bathymetrical chart; i here another inquiring as to the arcs ! of paralled south of the Equator; a I third asks for precise Information ; upon the rate of movement of glaciers, j A merchant wants to know what pre ! cautions will be necessary to maintain ! his health and what kind of clothing he ahould take along to the west coast of South Africa. A man wonders where gum arabic comes from; an other seeks to know why afforestation promotes rainfall;! another, why twi light in the tropics is so short. The National Geographic society has ! j transformed the study of geography , from a pilgrimage over an oasis-less j desert of uninteresting fact Into a j Journey through the mont fertile val-j (ley of fascinating Information about ! how "the other hair of the world lives, and it has done this by means of authentic articles and remarkable photographs.
