CCVl ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



ciety to send a list of places in our vicinity which should be marked, a 

 list was sent with a short account of all these points of interest, and why 

 historically interesting. 



In September the President of the Society was a delegate to the 

 annual meeting of the Ontario Historical Society at London, and acted 

 as Secretary during the absence, from an unfortunate accident, of the 

 Acting Secretary, Mrs. Thompson, and while there moved a resolution, 

 " That the Dominion Government be memorialized with regard to the 

 neglected condition of Forts George and Mississagua, and particularly 

 the encroachments of the lake on the land of the Military Reserve, asking 

 that steps be taken to preserve and beautify these historic spots." A 

 similar petition was sent by our Society, and a promise was received that 

 aid would be given. 



Visits to the Historical room are much encouraged in the belief that 

 history is taught with best effect by object lessons, and that a love of 

 country may be thus developed and increased.
