Forty-first Annual Meeting 1 1 



Let me say to the Society in my own behalf, I welcome 

 yon here and hope that onr proceedings will be productive 

 of as much good in the future as they have been in the past. 



There are a few things of importance which I would like 

 to suggest that we attend to during the convention. 



There is great need for a change in the phrasing of 

 Article V, of the Constitution, with respect to the publica- 

 tions and the program. There should be, I think, a slight 

 change in the phraseology of Article II, so as to make a 

 little clearer the eligibility of associations in this organiza- 

 tion. At the present time it is very much of a stretch of 

 the phrasing to receive into membership a society as a si >- 

 ciety. I think it should be considered, and if thought de- 

 sirable, an amendment should be prepared covering the 

 matter. 



It is requested that all in attendance upon the meeting 

 register with the Secretary.
