The announcement of those se- 

 cretaries sending in the greatest 

 number of subscribers during 1914 

 will be made in the February num- 

 ber of the Review. In the March 

 number we will publish a list of 

 those sending in subscribers during 

 January, this year. We take this 

 opportunity to thank the many se- 

 cretaries for the great array of 

 subscribers sent us during 1914, 

 and hope to be favored with your 

 many kindnesses during 1915. In 

 the meantime we hope to send you 

 many more members for your re- 

 spective associations during 1915 

 than during 1914.
