FORMER PUPILS MOURN TEACHER -
Dr. C. L. Edwards Was Popular With Many for Nature Study Trips
Thousand of former Los Angeles school children yesterday mourned the loss of an old friend and teacher, Dr. Charles Lincoln Edwards, bearded naturalist, who died Monday at his home, 3214 Veteran avenue, West Los Angeles, after a year's illness.
Dr. Edwards, as supervisor of nature studies for Los Angeles public schools, was one of the most popular figures in the city's educational system. Until his retirement two years ago he personally visited almost every school in the city at least once or twice a year giving lectures on nature.
MANY EXCURSIONS
Excursions he conducted for school children in years past were attended my many thousands. The excursions were made to the mountains, seashore and desert where he could provide the pupils with first-hand information on the subjects he taught.
He first entered the school system in 1915, building up his department until at the time of his retirement there were twenty-four assistant supervisors in his one department.
PROFESSOR IN TEXAS
Before coming to Los Angeles Dr. Edwards, who was decorated for his studies in nature by many foreign countries, was a professor of biology at the University of Texas and the University of Cincinnati.
He was first taken ill a year ago following the death of his wife, Mrs. Jessie Edwards, who had been closely associated with him in his work. He leaves three sons, Richard, John, and Charles, and a sister, Mrs. Clara, E. Calhoun.
Funeral services will be conducted at 3:30 p.m. Saturday from the Wee Kirk o' the Heather, Forest Lawn Memorial Park, cremation following.

CHARLES
L.
EDWARDS
EDWARDS, PROFESSOR CHARLES L., was born in Oquawka, Illinois, forty-two years ago. His father was a banker and a
member of the legislature of Indiana and came of Welsh stock,
and his mother traced her ancestry back to John Brown of Plymouth,
1626; Lieutenant William Pratt of Cambridge, 1633; Lieutenant
Richard Stockton of New Jersey; Thomas Lord; Governor Hayne?,
and Governor Wyllis of Hartford. As a boy, Professor Edwards
went through the usual experiences of a youth in a small western city,
but very early developed a marked interest in natural history. The
works of Charles Darwin, then first exciting the world, had a decided
influence on him, and after receiving his B.S. degree at Lombard College
in 1884, and again at the Indiana University in 1886, he determined
to devote himself to the study of biology. He studied three
years at Johns Hopkins University and then went to the University of
Leipzig, where he received the degree of Ph.D. He worked for two
years as graduate fellow in Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts,
and became assistant professor of biology at the University of
Texas in Austin. He was made full professor at the University of
Cincinnati in 1894 and remained there six years. In 1900 he became
J. Pierpont Morgan Professor of Natural History in Trinity College,
Hartford, a position which he has filled with marked ability ever
since.
Having such an excellent educational equipment, and being full
of enthusiasm for his profession and by nature an indefatigable worker,
it is not strange that Professor Edwards, though still a young man,
has done a great deal of scientific work and achieved a recognized
position in the scientific world. He is the author of numerous papers
in journals devoted to biology and zoology, among which are twenty
articles on the embryology of the holotlmrians and reptiles, an exhaustive
statistical study of variation, and one on the marine zoology
in the Bahama Islands. He has in hand for the Smithsonian Institution
a monograph of the holothurioidea, and for the United States
Bureau of Fisheries a report on the albatross collections. He is a
fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
and a member of the Society of American Zoologists, of the Association
of American Naturalists, and of the three Mexican Scientific
Societies. As a "side line'' he has devoted much time to the subject
of folk-lore, being the author of "Bahama Songs and Stories" (Vol.
3), "Memoirs of the American Folk-Lore Society," and was in 1889 the
president of the American Folk-Lore Society. At present he has
much at heart the establishment of a floating laboratory, a small sailing
vessel, in connection with Trinity College to investigate in the
summer vacations the marine biology of the West Indies. His energy
and enthusiasm will no doubt lead to the installation of the enterprise
in a year or two. One of Professor Edwards's most important investigations
had to do with the effect of temperature on the development
of the chick during the process of incubation and the determination
of the critical temperature or the zero below which development does
not take place.
On June 5th, 1889, Professor Edwards married Jessie Safford.
Four children have been born to them, three of whom are now living,
John Robert, Richard Safford, and Charles Stockton. -

SCIENTIFIC NEWS
Prof. Charles L Edwards of the University of Cincinnati is open to a biological station this summer at Biscayne Bay, Florida. The place is well situated for the study of the tropical and sub-tropical flora and fauna, while its situation upon the continent makes it more readily accessible that the West India Islands. There wil be opportunity for investigation while less mature students will have lectures and labortory instructions. The session begins June 22nd and continues six weeks. A laboratory fee of $25.00 covers tuition, use of apparatus, reagents, etc., and Prof Edwards estimates the total necessary expenses of each student, including board, railroad fares, etc., at from $100 to $125. It is also proposed to open a department of laboratory supply and to furnish all available material properly prepared at reasonable rates. For further information address Prof. Edwards at the University of Cincinnati.
