ANNUAL WINTER MEETING. 73 



;a conscientious secretary can increase his sphere of influence. 

 It is a very fruitful field of work, and its scope could be easily 

 and to advantage enlarged. I have enjoyed serving you. The 

 office has brought me into contact with the people of the state 

 more than any other occupation at which I could have spent my 

 time. 



Owing to the increased interest and attendance at our farm 

 school the time which I must devote to teaching increases with 

 each year. I now find it will be quite impossible for me to oc- 

 cupy the position of secretary another year, and whosoever you 

 may select as my successor I shall be glad to aid in any way 

 that I am able. Before closing I wish to thank you for your 

 courtesy and uniform kindness in aiding me at all times in the 

 discharge of my official duties. 



L. H. Wilcox: — As there are several suggestions in that re- 

 port that should receive consideration, I move that it be re- 

 ferred to the committee on the president's address. 



President Elliot :— It will be so considered unless objection is 

 made. We will now listen to the treasurer's report.
