It is but fitting to convey our hearty thanks to 

 the mennbers of the Financial Committee who 

 co-operated so splendidly with the Secretary. 

 The commitee was comoosed of: W. E. Big- 

 wood, W. G. Clarke, A. T. CushipE;, Hon. A. C. 

 Flummerfelt, W. E. Golding, \. H. Weldon, H. 

 R. MacMillan, W. Gerard Power and Carl 

 Riordon. 



How widely based is the financial support of 

 the Association appears from the 1919 list of 

 donors. Our grants from soecial sources, in- 

 dependent of governments, have advanced as 

 follows : 



1916 — the first year in which the Secre- 

 tary sought special donations $1,010.10 



1917 2,235.00 



1918 3,750.00 



1919 6,840.00 



OUR FINANCIAL GROWTH. 



There is offered here an interesting compari- 

 son of our total revenues from all sources since 

 the outbreak of the war: 



1915 $5,279.23 



1916 7,182.60 



1917 11,192.16 



1918 14,296.10 



1919 20,067.70 



Despite the entirely unexpected action of the 

 Minister of the Interior in cutting off $1,000 of 

 the 1919 grant in October, sufficient new money 

 was quickly raised to give us a surplus at the 

 end of the calendar year of $1,024.33. 



It is obvious, however, that the Association 

 is forced to travel on too slender financial re- 

 sources. In the absence of any endowment 

 or large government grants there is always the 

 necessity of struggling to keep ahead of ex- 

 penses. The mapping out of new fields of effort 

 cannot be proceeded with in any satisfactory 

 way unless means are devised of establishing 

 the Association's income so that a programme 

 may be drawn up for the entire year and not 

 be subject to fluctuations in order to accord 

 with the income probabilities. 



The Directors wish to submit to the Annual 

 Meeting the question whether the employment 

 of an Assistant Secretary is advisable. 



The Association may well consider also the 

 establishment of a Resident Western Secretary 

 as soon as the funds permit. The growth of 

 the Association in the three prairie provinces has 

 been unprecedented during 1919 and in such a 

 city as Winnipeg, hitherto considered not the 

 most promising field for membership develop-
