member each year, with very httle effort. If, during the 

 coming year each of our 718 members and our 180 Sustaining 

 Members were to secure a new member, th-e resulting increase 

 would amount to 898, thus far exceeding what was accom- 

 plished with so much effort this year. If similar activity was 

 displayed by our Associate Members among their fellow teach- 

 ers, our Associate Membership would show an increase, in- 

 stead of remaining stationary as was the case this year. We 

 shall do all that we can; we trust that our members will bear 

 in mind that any gain resulting from their efforts will be their 

 gain as much as ours. 



In summing up the activities of the Society for the past 

 year and forecasting the possibilites for the coming one, and 

 having in mind opportunities that, with present financial limita- 

 tions it would be idle to now discuss, it is more than ever 

 apparent that our success depends in very great part on the 

 extent to which the people of the State realize the im- 

 portance of w^hat we are attempting, and the financial sup- 

 port that they accord us.
