408 ENTOMOLOGY 
Outside of this, the work in Canada centers around the 
Entomological Society of Ontario, whose excellent publica- 
tions, sustained by the government, are of great scientific and 
educational importance. In addition to its annual reports, this 
society issues the Canadian Entomologist, one of the leading 
serials of its kind, edited by its founder, the Rev. C. J. S. 
Bethune, whose devoted services are appreciated by every 
entomologist. 
The Association of Official Economic Entomologists.— 
Organized in 1889 by a few energetic workers, this association 
has had a rapid and healthy growth and now numbers among 
its members all the leading economic entomologists of America 
and a large number of foreign workers. The annual meetings 
of the association impart a vigorous stimulus to the individual 
worker and tend to promote a well-balanced development of 
the science of economic entomology. 
Conclusion.—While working for the material welfare of 
the agriculturist, the economic entomologist discovers phe- 
nomena which are of the highest value to the purely scientific 
mind. Indeed it 1s remarkable to notice the extent to which 
the professedly practical entomologist is animated—not to say 
dominated—by the same spirit which has led many of the most 
profound thinkers that the world has ever produced to devote 
their lives to the study of life itself.
