 C. Leavitt, G. C. Piche, A. H. D. Ross, H. 

 C. Wallin, E. J. Zavitz and F. W. H. Ja- 

 combe. 



The secretary's report showed forty-two 

 active members, with one honorary and 

 three associate members. 



Mr. Thos. Southworth, on signifying his 

 Avish to withdraw from active membership 

 through having severed active connection 

 with forestry, was elected an honorary mem- 

 ber. 



Mr. E. Wilson reported progress for the 

 committee on the stfindardization of forest 

 maps. On motion the committee was con- 

 tinued, Mr. Wilson being designated con- 

 vener. Mr. A. H. D. Ross was added to 

 the committee, and, on motion of Mr. Cam- 

 eron, Mr. Wallin was substituted for the 

 mover on the committee. This committee 

 now consists of the following: — Mr. Wilson, 

 convener. Dr. J. F. Clark, Dr. C. D. Howe 

 and Messrs. Ross, Wallin and Dwight. 



Mr. Wilson also reported verbally in re- 

 gard to the proposed International Society 

 of Foresters and asked that the committee 

 be continued. The request was, on motion, 

 granted. 



A motion regarding the qualification for 

 active membership in the society, of which 

 Mr. Wilson had given notice, was passed 

 after amendment. The effect of the motion, 

 is that future candidates for active mem- 

 bership nuist not only be graduates of an 



approved forest school, but must also have 

 had two years of practical experience in the 

 practice or teaching of forestry. 



The question of appointing advisory com- 

 mittees for the various divisions of the Do- 

 minion Avas introduced and it was resolved 

 that such committees should be appointed, 

 each committee to consist of three members, 

 to be appointed by the Executive commit- 

 tee. Four committees are to be appointed, 

 one for each of the following districts: — 

 (1) Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, (2) 

 Ontario, (3) Manitoba, Saskatchewan and 

 Alberta, and (4) British Columbia. 



Mr. Dwight Avas appointed auditor. 



The ExecutiA'e committee Avas instructed 

 to look into the question of procuring a 

 charter for the society to work out a more 

 satisfactory method of electing officers and 

 to arrange for a dinner in connection Avith

The thanks of the society are again due

 appreciated.
