problem, under Mr. A. H. Stone, and that of industrial organization, 

 under Professor J. W. Jenks, are suspended for the present, but these 

 gentlemen hope to resume their work later. The Index of State Doc- 

 uments for New Jersey is in press, and the manuscript of the volume 

 for Pennsylvania is completed. Considerable work has been done on 

 South Carolina, which is the next State to be taken up. 



In view of the appointment of the chairman of this Department as 

 Roosevelt professor at the University of Berlin for the winter semester 

 1914-1915, Professor Walter F. Willcox was elected acting chairman, 

 at a meeting of the collaborators held May 23, and the books were 

 turned over to him in July. The war necessitated, however, the can- 

 celing of the Berlin engagement, and the chairman returned to the 

 United States in September. He has now resumed charge of the work 

 of this Department, and hopes to give most of his time to it during 

 the winter.
