 mauuer in which his reports were prepared, and regretted that 

 he was obliged to accept his resignation. He announced also, that 

 Prof. K. L. Watts, Scalp Level, Pa., had been named as his suc- 

 cessor, 



MR. MOON: I think Mr. Snavely's report, which was read this 

 morning, was the best I ever heard before this Association. I con- 

 sider him an ideal chairman, and while I do not want to place any 

 unnecessary burdens upon him, I am sorry to see him resign.
