CXL THE ROYAL SOCIKTV OF CANADA 



Our affiliated Society had the honour of presenliiiji short reports 

 at the May meetings of the Royal Society of Canada; and in June at 

 the Annual Meeting of the Ontario Historical Society in Napanee; 

 the fact that 100 years ago occurred the historic War of 1812 lent more 

 prominence to this convention, of which a full report was given at the 

 November meeting. At the opening meeting in October an illustrated 

 Address on the "Indians of Canada" was given by Canon Kittson, and 

 in Dcc(Miiber an address on the Life and Works of Dr. Samuel Johnson 

 by the J^ibrarian of the Carnegie Library ^Ir. W. J. Sykes. 



In January, 1913, our Society took up "Treaties" as their chosen 

 subject for stud}^ during the ensuing season, their object being to place 

 on record in clear and compact form all treaties relating to Canada. 

 "The Treaty of Paris, 1763" was prepared and read by Mrs. G. M. 

 Bayly. February's paper, "The Treaty of Versailles, 1783", by Mrs. 

 J. B. Simpson; and that of March, "The Treaty of Washington, 1871" 

 by Mrs. D. H. McLean. The subject will be resumed when our Society 

 takes up its work again in the fall. 



Thus, the way is leading from battle grounds — through treaties — 

 to peace — our peace Centenary. May we hope and look for, not only 

 another century of peace, l)ut, on all sides, an ever increasing good-will.
