Report of the Secretary 



Delaware, Ohio, November 2-i, 1914. 



The work of the secretary is largely routine; but, during the past 

 year, a number of points have arisen on which an expression of opinion by 

 the Academy would be welcome. 



In accordance with the instructions of the Academy, a preliminary 

 announcement of the annual meeting was mailed November 1, followed by 

 the program, mailed November 18. Would it be more convenient for the 

 members if the'se communications were mailed earlier? Should there be 

 a longer interval between the two? 



Notices of the annual meeting were sent to the following papers: 

 Columbus Citizen, Dispatch, and State Journal; Cleveland Plain Dealer,
