Increasing Membership. Many members are now working to 

 increase the membership and the financial resources of the Society 

 for next year. Several members have agreed to be responsible 

 for a share in any deficit which may result from publication of 

 The Review in its present form, averaging thirty-two pages for 

 nine months. Many more such subscriptions are needed. 

 Several normal schools have sent many applications for igio 

 membership or subscriptions to The Review. But we are still 

 far from a safe basis for 19 10 plans; and it will be necessary to 

 guarantee expenses in order to secure the acceptance of the men 

 who will probably be nominated by the Council for the positions 

 of secretary and editor for 19 10. For these reasons the present 

 secretary and editor asks for the greatest possible cooperation in 

 the attempt to increase the membership and financial resources 

 of the Society. Since it has proved impossible to estimate the 

 number of subscriptions which may continue from year to year, it 

 will aid the officers in making plans for next year if members will 

 send the annual dues for 19 10 before December loth. 



Sample Copies and Circulars. Members who can use sample 

 copies of The Review or circulars concerning the Society may 

 obtain them from the secretary; or they will be mailed, direct to 

 addresses sent by members. 



Back Numbers of The Review. Attention is again called to the 

 below-cost prices of certain numbers of The Review (see adver- 

 tising pages). These will soon be withdrawn. Several colleges 

 and normal schools have recently purchased 10 copies each of 

 certain important numbers. Send the dates of the numbers 

 which you most need for your classes and the secretary will quote 

 you the price on the those available in the broken sets. 



Readers who wish to sell complete sets of Volume II, 1906, in 

 good condition, should so inform the secretary, who will record 

 the names of owners in order received and inform those who wish 

 to purchase. Several libraries have recently offered to pay $2.35 

 for the numbers of this year. The secretary will pay 50 cents 

 each for perfect (in numbered pages) copies of January 1906, Vol. 

 II, No. i; and from 20 to 35 cents each for copies of February, 

 March, May and September, 1906.
