TREASURER'S REPORT lU 



point also has been called to your attention before and may be 

 dropped with the suggestion. 



In concluding this discussion it may not be out of place to state 

 that several of our sister academies employ secretaries who devote 

 their whole time to the work and who are paid by the State for their 

 services while our Academy has always been served by secretaries 

 who have done its work in addition to their regular duties. The 

 same is true of the other officers of the Academy and it should be 

 realized that the office of Treasurer, particularly, involves a great 

 amount of work extending entirely through the year. This compari- 

 son is made, not for any purpose of disparagement, but merely to 

 show under what different circumstances the work of our society 

 is carried on. 



In conclusion let me felicitate the Academy upon its steady growth 

 and its maintenance of the high ideals which are its goodly heritage. 

 Let me also thank the members for their kindly response to what- 

 ever calls have been made upon them for service or assistance in 

 prosecuting the work of the Academy. 



Respectfully submitted, 



James H. Lek;-. 



Secretory.
