Report of Committee on Scientific Conditions in Canada 



A fundamental purpose of the Royal Society is to foster research ; 

 and in particular the main purpose of Sections III, IV and V is to 

 encourage scientific research, to recognize scientific ability, and to 

 encourage those who possess it. 



Your Committee therefore recommends that the following sug- 

 gestions be adopted by the Royal Society of Canada: 



1. That a Fellow elected to one of the three sections more par- 

 ticularly referred to above be required to submit, within three years, 

 to his Section an original paper embodying the results of research 

 carried out by himself. 



2. That the Fellowship of the sections be enlarged sufificiently 

 to permit increase in the number of active research workers of recog- 

 nized ability. 



3. That the suggestion be brought to the attention of the older 

 members of the Sections in question, whose condition or responsi- 

 bilities prevent active participation in the work of the Section, that 

 it is possible for such to retire from active Fellowship full of honour,
