been ineml)ers of the Association, ipso far to to be directors. These people know the 

 movements that have gone on, and the fact of being elected to the position would 

 show that they have the good-will of the Association. 



Mr. WHITE. Mr. Little, 1 do not think that it is competent for us to do that at 

 this meeting. It would be competent for us to take the matter up and deal with it at 

 the next meeting of the Association, but we cannot do it now. I think it would be a 

 good idea to have all those who have acted as officers remain directors. 



.Mr. STEWART. Mr. President, that is an excellent suggestion, and I think it can 

 be done next year. 



Mr. BERTRAM. I am sorry to disagree with my eminent friends here. I do not 

 think it would work at all. I am a strong believer "in young men, and if we are to be 

 overloaded and I say it with all respect with us old folks, I think it would be 

 rather a detriment. Wu want the young fellows to push the work on, and I hope they 

 will be encouraged. 



Mr. WHITE. I hope Mr. Bertram will speak for himself, when he speaks of old 

 folks. I profess to be just as much a boy as ever I was. (Laughter.) We cannot 

 deal with the matter at present, anyhow. If there is no further business before the 

 meeting, I declare it adjourned, to meet at Quebec next year. 



At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Directors, the following Vice-Presidents 

 were elected: Prince Edward Island, Rev. A. E. Burke; Nova Scotia, Hon. ,J. W. 

 Longley; New Brunswick, His Honour J. B. Snowball, Lieutenant-Governor; Que- 

 bec, Hon. S. N. Parent; Ontario, Hon. E. J. Davis; Manitoba, Major Stewart 

 Mulvey; Keewatin, His Honour the Lieu tenant-Governor of Manitoba; Assiniboia, 

 'His Honour A. E. Forget, Lieutenant-Governor; Alberta, Wm. Pearce; Athabasca, 

 F. D. Wilson; British Columbia, Hewitt Bostock. 



THE BANQUET. 



A pleasant feature of the meeting of the Association in Toronto was the enter- 

 tainment of the visitors to dinner at the King Edward Hotel on the evening of 

 Thursday, March 10, by the local members. At the request of the President, who,
