 banks and Guyer) were elected last January to serve two years. 



For list of 1908 officers consult The Review for January of this 

 year. It is also given on back cover pages of most issues. 



Concerning Organizing Sections of the A N. S. S. 



The secretary again calls the attention of members to that 

 article of the constitution which provides for sections of the 

 Society in any city. State, group of States, or province of Canada. 

 According to the constitution it is not necessary to have 100 

 members, except in order to elect a delegate to the Council of 

 the national organization. The Council will approve an appli- 

 cation for establishing a section by twenty-five or more members 

 of the A. N. S. S. In addition there may be any number of 

 associate members of the section who are enrolled only in the 

 section. This arrangement is entirely in harmony with the 

 constitution, and provides for those who do not care to be mem- 

 bers of the national organization, receive The Review, and pay 

 the regular fee of $1 per year. It is probable that many associate 

 members of local sections will later become regular members of 

 the A. X. S. S. At any rate there is an advantage to the work 

 of the A. X. S. S. in that those most likely to be associate mem- 

 bers are teachers who must deal with local nature-study problems.
