REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SECRETARY'S REPORT. 



Cedar Falls, Iowa. April 26, 1919. 

 To the lozva Academy of Science : 



Your committee appointed to consider the suggestions of the 

 Secretary wishes to report as follows : 



First — That the members of the Academy be instructed to take 

 full responsibility in the preparation of typewritten papers and

 their services. We recognize, however, that such labor must for

 appreciation for that labor so admirably performed. We further 

 recommend that the honorarium of the Secretary be changed from 

 Twenty-five to Fifty Dollars for the year, that all expenses be paid 

 as heretofore, and also such expenses of both Secretary and Treas- 

 urer as may be necessary in attendance upon a meeting of the Execu- 

 tive Committee to plan for the welfare of the Academy if such 

 meeting is held between the sessions of the Academy. 



Third — We are glad to express more than approval of the plan 

 for the publication of an index to the Proceedings of the Academy. 

 Such an index will assist very materially those who wish to con- 

 sult the numerous valuable papers published in the Proceedings. 



Fourth — We approve the suggestion that the Iowa Academy be- 

 come affiliated with the .American Association for the Advance-
