■committee feels that the finaneiul condition of the Association and the duties devolv- 

 ing upon the secretary both warrant such slight remuneration. We would recom- 

 mend that it be the future policy of the society to pay the expenses of the secretary 

 to the annual meeting provided his expenses are not paid by the institution by which 

 he is employed, and that in lieu of such expenses or in addition to them, the exec- 

 utive committee be empowered to vote the secretary such annual honorarium 

 as the financial condition of the Association may warrant. 



2. Your committee recommends the establishment of a standing committee on 

 "Entomological Investigations." It is contemplated that it would be the duty of 

 said committee to secure reports from the heads of all entomological departments 

 represented in the Association, as to the work in progress and the work contemplated 

 for the following year. Such reports would be gathered during the late fall and a 

 summary published in the December issue of the Journal of Economic Ento- 

 mology or presented at the annual meeting, so that the information so received 

 would furnish the basis of personal conferences between different workers along 

 similar lines at the annual meeting. As indicative of the work of such a committee 

 we have secured a report along these lines through the cooperation of Dr. T. J. 

 Headlee which will be presented at this meeting. 



3. Your committee recommends that the incoming executive committee be 

 instructed to submit an amendment to Article III of the By-Laws as required by 

 Article 5 of the By-Laws, so that Article III shall provide that the annual dues of 

 active members be $2 and of associate members $LoO, the same to include a sub- 

 scription to the Journal of Economic Entomology, and that foreign members 

 be charged no dues, but that they be charged $1.50 as subscription for the Journal 

 OF Economic Entomology if they desire it. 



This proposed amendment anticipates that the Journal of Economic Entomology 

 Publishing Company, will elect the secretary of the Association of Economic Ento- 

 mologists as secretary-treasurer, ex officio business manager, and would provide 

 certain compensation for that official by the Publishing Company. It seem to 

 your committee that an informal discussion of the proposed arrangement might 

 be advisable at the present meeting, so that the plan might be fully understood and 

 carefully considered during the coming year. 



Respectfully submitted, 



E. D. Sanderson, President. 



H. T. Fernald, First Vice-President. 



P. J. Parrott, Second Vice-President.
