BRANCH CONSTITUTIONS 



It is highly important that the various 

 branches of the Society should adopt Cons- 

 titutions and By-laws that are as nearly 

 uniform as possible. The dates of annual 

 meetings, for instance, should coincide in 

 all provinces, so that new officers, deleg- 

 ates, etc., are elected at approximately the 

 same time. At present annual meetings 

 are held at dates varying from February to 

 June. 



In the present issue we have published 

 the Constitution and by-laws of the British 

 Columbia Branch, for the reference of other 

 branches, having in mind that, with minor 

 changes, it might be generally adopted.
