Note — In accordance with a recent amendment to the Constitution, 

 the nominee for president who receives the second higher number of 

 votes will be declared vice-president. 



In accordance with the constitution of the W. O. C, Article iii. Sec- 

 tion II, Mr. Frank L. Burnes, Berwyn, Pa., has been appointed judge 

 of Elections. All ballots must be sent to him to be counted. Members 

 in arrears for dues will be eligible to vote, provided their dues reach the 

 treasurer, Lynds Jones, Oberlin, O., before Nov. 25. 



It is earnestly hoped that every active member will not fail to cast his 

 vote for some candidate for office for the coming year. The list of can- 

 didates is placed before you to give you an opportunity to vote for such 

 as have received the highest number of nominating votes, if you chose to. 

 But you are not confined to the nominees whose names appear in this 

 Bulletin in your choice of officers. You have the privilege of voting for 

 any active member of the chapter, if you prefer. Your vote need not 

 wait until Nov. 5, but can be cast and forwarded to the Judge of Elec- 

 tions, Mr. Frank L. Burns, Berwyn, Penn., at once. You will stimulate 

 interest in your fellow members, but particularly in the officers of the 

 chapter and give them great encouragement in the future work of the 

 chapter, by casting your vote for some member. Do not fail to do so. 



EDITORIAL. 



This number of the Bulletin has been delayed in order that all lists of 

 nominations for officers for the ensuing year should be in. The Novem- 

 ber number will also be delayed a few days for the purpose of announc- 

 ing the result of the election, which closes December 5. The editor feels 

 that members prefer it so rather than to wait two months before learning 

 of the result. 



Members are requested to send their notes for publication to the editor 

 as soon after receiving this number as possible, giving plenty of time for 

 arranging them in the best order. As the close of the season of migration 

 and active outdoor study approaches, each must have at command many 

 notes which should be put where fellow workers can learn them. Facts 

 discovered and hoarded are likely to be forgotten, in any case they are 

 barren of results. It is only as we let others know about our work that we 

 shall be recognized as active students of our beloved science.
