MARCH 19, 1(12! proceedings: WASHINGTON ACADEMY 139 



At the 247th meeting on January 24, 1921, the following committees were 

 appointed: Committee on Membership: H. L. Shantz, Chairman, L. H. 

 Adams, S. J. Barnett, D. F. Hewett, Walter Hough. Executive Com- 

 mittee: The President, Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer; F. \'. Cov- 

 ILLE, and F. B. Silsbee. Editor of the Journal, iQ2i~ig2j: vSidney Paige. 

 The Associate^ Editors were reappointed for 1921, and G. W. vStose was ap- 

 pointed to succeed Sidney Paige as representative of the Geological Society. 

 A budget for 1921 was approved, with a slight increase for publication of the 

 Journal. It was announced by the Editors that the cost of publication of 

 the Journal would be greater in 1921 by about 70 per cent, and that on ac- 

 count of the limited funds available it would be necessary to decrease the 

 number of pages, but that the amount of material would not have to be cor- 

 respondingly decreased as certain economies could be effected by increasing 

 the size of the printed page and in other ways. A request from the American 

 Metric Association for support for certain metric system bills before Con- 

 gress was declined as being contrary to the Academy's policy. The follow- 

 ing Resident Vice-Presidents were elected: C. Hart Merriam, Anthro- 

 pological vSociety; H. C. Macatee, INIedical Societ}^.
