THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 281 



The secretary is therefore instructed concerning- the action of 

 the directors. 



Xo. 2. Concerning the replies from the directors to this mem- 

 orandum, further consideration is necessary and will be taken up 

 shortly. 



Xo. 4. The board seems to be of the opinion that an "experi- 

 ence" meeting is necessary for the proper growth of the "'National." 

 With one exception, the directors are in favor of holding this meet- 

 ing for social and educational purposes, in conjunction with the an- 

 nual delegate business meeting. Favor is shown for a three-day con- 

 vention, the business being limited to two sessions. It is explained 

 that February is preferable to any of the fall months in which there 

 are late honey flows. It is further suggested that the '"N^ational" 

 should hold district conventions such as New England, central, west, 

 far west. It is further suggested that if the business transactions 

 are of such a length as to require more time than two sessions, they 

 should be held apart from the meeting for the reading of papers. 



It is therefore the opinion of the directors that the recommenda- 

 tion for the meeting for the discussion of bee-keeping topics be held 

 in conjunction with the annual meetings of delegates. Such an an- 

 nouncement should be made to the bee-keepers through the ofificial 

 organ. 



If the directors wish to make suggestions for sectional or dis- 

 trict meetings of an educational nature, the chair will await these 

 suggestions. 



Xo. 5. Concerning a stenographic report of the conventions or 

 delegate meetings, the directors are in favor insofar as funds will 

 permit (one director anticipates that $15 should cover a stenographic 

 report) that a verbatim report be made available. It is thought that 

 the business transaction can adequately be recorded by the Sec- 

 retary.
