 us well, has put in his time and energy to make this society 

 progress, and we have progressed, and I am glad that the 

 sentiment of the society is expressed in the unanimous adoption

Mr. Dartt: The gentleman intimated that the president 

 made the society. I think he should have added the secretary, 

 too. Without them the society cannot thrive. (Applause.)

 of the office of the secretary of this organization, I am sure I 

 do. If I have been able to accomplish any valuable results in 

 the building up of this society it has been through the aii of 

 our efficient secretary, and I want you to appreciate the impor- 

 tance of that office and the fact that in the efficient work he has 

 done it was my greatest pleasure in serving you as president 

 to sustain him and hold up his hands in carrying out the duties 

 which he had to perform. And I want you to appreciate the 

 importance of the office of secretary and assist him in the future 

 as you have in the past with your hearty co-operation.
