SECRETARY S ANNUAL REPORT, ig03 2'J 



As I make reference to the World's Fair in another place on the 

 program, I will not speak of it further here than to call your atten- 

 tion to the fact that a successful exhibit at that time from our state 

 is not only one of our privileges but equally one of the duties of the 

 members of this society, and each one of us should feel a personal 

 interest in bringing it about. The World's Fair Commission in ap- 

 pointing the secretary as superintendent undoubtedly considered the 

 fact that behind him lies this virile and enthusiastic organization.

 ment :
