 most sinctTcly and cnipliat icallv in<lois

 J also ilesire to e.xiiress my appreeiatioii 

 of Mr. h'lidd "s iiiyli sense of |)uhlic duty, 

 and sincerely hope that all the memiiers 

 who may lie present at tlie coinini'- i-on- 

 ventioii may lie imbued with an e(]ually 

 liij>h sense of tiiat duty, and that when 

 the time comes tor maKiny' a choice of 

 the men for the various oflices, all win 

 sink ixMsiinal aiui sellish desirt s ami con- 

 sider till' welfare of the society only. 



Does not .Mr. Kmld's statenu'Ut. that 

 "the riijlit man can do $l..'iOO worth of 

 work and then feel dissatisfied with him- 

 self that he has lieen un.ahie to take up 

 many things that would undouhtedly in 

 the "future advam-e tlie society's interest 

 and im'icase its meiiiliersliip. " ' I'aise a 

 question as to the wisdom of the society 

 ])ayinj; ,+ l.(i(i(i only.' If. as .Mr. Hud<l 

 states, "no man en^a^icd in acdive liusi- 

 iiess, either as ]iroprietor or ein])loyeo. 

 can tak(> \\]> this wmk and carry it out 

 so tliat the society may achiinc the suc- 

 cess which is within its yrasji, unless he 

 jrrossly neglects his own iiusiness." the 

 only logical inference is that a man must 

 jfive |)ract ically his entire time to the 

 wi)rk. Now. can a ni;in with the required 

 ener<,'y. iiiti-lliiience .and ability alfoi'd to 

 jrive ins eiitii-e time to the work for th(> 

 sum |>aid.' I think tliat tliis is a phase 

 of the siili.ject that the soidety will do 

 well to consider. 1. I.. I'ouKl.i..
