February, '12] ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 25 



President F. L. Washburn : We will hear the report on the rela- 

 tions to the Society for the Advancement of Education in the South. 



REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE 



To the Association of Economic Entomologists: 



Your special committee appointed to consider the invitation of Mr. H. E. Bierly, 

 General Secretary of the Society for Advancement of Education in the South, to 

 meet in joint session with that society, begs to report as follows: 



We find, on investigation, that the meeting of the Society named is now being 

 held in Atlanta, Georgia, and a joint meeting at the present time is therefore 

 impossible. 



The Committee is of the opinion that joint meetings of the Society for Advance- 

 ment of Education in the South and the American Association of Economic Ento- 

 mologists would not be to advantage, owing to the marked difference in the nature of 

 the work being done by these respective organizations. 



Your Committee, however, fully recognizes the great importance of the work being 

 done by the Society for Advancement of Education in the South, and recommends 

 that our southern members, as individuals, affiliate with that Society wherever 

 possible and practicable to do so. 



Your Committee further recommends that the Secretary of our Association be 

 requested to address to Mr. Bierly a letter of thanks for the invitation extended, 

 together with a copy of this action.

Committee. 



On motion, the report was adopted. 



President F. L. Washburn: We would Hke to hear the report, 

 Mr. O'Kane, of the committee that was appointed to consider the 

 taking over of the Journal by the Association. 



W. C. O'Kane : Mr. President and Members of the Association, the 

 committee had an informal talk with an attorney in Washington, who 

 says that the existing constitution will adapt itself all right to the cor- 

 porate form, if the Association decides to adopt the corporate form, 

 so that this phase of it, as far as the committee can tell and after this 

 hurried examination by the attorney, seems to be all right, and, there- 

 fore, the committee's report is rendered to you in the shape in which 

 it was read yesterday. I shall read that again, if you wish. 



The report given on page 20 was read and also the following changes 

 to the constitution and the by-laws: 



Article I, Section 2, add ''(5) to publish the Journal of 

 Economic Entomology;" Article III, Section 1, line five, substitute 

 "the Board of Directors" for "an executive committee"; To article 

 III, Section 1, add "Annual dues shall not include subscription to the 

 Journal of Economic Entomology."
