MEETING OF NOVEMBER 11. 



Dr. Riley in the chair; seventeen members present. The secretary 

 reported the correspondence had during the year and leading to the pro- 

 gramme for the present meeting. He also read a letter from Alda M. 

 Sharp, asking membership in the association. A statement that certain 

 expenses had been incurred and would necessitate an assessment was 

 made and submitted for action. 



On motion of Mr. Cook, the report was accepted, and an assessment of 

 25 cents was made on each member present to pay the expenses incurred 

 and to be incurred. 



Mr. Forbes, from the Committee on Cooperation, presented a report 

 of progress ; a full report could not be presented, because there was no 

 committee of the main association to confer with. Until that body 

 made some change in the organization of these permanent committees, 

 giving them more time and scope, they recommended that the present 

 status be retained and our organization be kept up. The committee had 

 expressed the desire to cooperate, and in that respect its work was done. 



On motion of Mr. Weed, the report was accepted as a report of pro- 

 gress and the committee was continued.
