to our foreign members. I doubt very much if any one of them would 

 resent it in the slightest if we adopt the amendment as originally 

 proposed. 



H. E. Summers: May I ask why this Association should put into 

 its constitution a statement that they should be charged for the Jour- 

 nal? If the decision as to whether these members should be charged 

 for the Journal depends on the Journal Publishing Company, then this 

 Association has nothing to do with it and this phrase would seem out 

 of place in our constitution. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: The Journal Publishing Company has 

 a contract with the Association that it will furnish to the active and 

 associate members of the Association the Journal for $1.00 a year, the 

 regular subscription price being $2.00, and the Journal Publishing 

 Company has furnished to foreign members of this Association the 

 Journal for $1.50 a year, on account of extra cost of mailing, and, 

 as long as the dues were to be raised to the members of the Association, 

 active and associate, $1.00 to cover subscription to the Journal, the 

 same arrangement was appHed to foreign members. The foreign mem- 

 bers pay for their Journal; the active and associate members pay fof 

 their Journal. 



H. E. Summers: Mr. President, was that a contract with the 

 Journal Publishing Company that they furnish the Journal to the 

 active and associate members of the Association, or is that incorporated 

 in the constitution? 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: It has nothing to do with the Constitu- 

 tion of the Association of Economic Entomologists. It is a contract. 



E. P. Felt: Mr. Chairman, I would move that the last sentence be 

 amended, to read, beginning after "foreign members," "but such 

 membership shall not entitle the holders thereof to receive the Jour- 

 nal OF Economic Entomology gratis." Carried. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: Mr. President, I have a letter here 

 from the General Secretary of the Society for the Advancement of 

 Education in the South. It was sent the second of December and 

 as it was impossible to act upon it, I will read the letter now, since I 

 wrote the Secretary I would bring it up at this meeting. 



Chattanooga, Tenn., December 2, 1911. 

 Mr. a. F. Burgess, Sec, 

 Bureau of Entomology, 

 Washington, D. C.
