person expected to devote any great 

 amount of time to its work and should 

 be placed in position so that he would 

 be dependent for reappointment on the 

 •lirectors, who are closely associated 

 with him and have a thorough knowl- 

 edge as to the quality of his work. It 

 seems to the writer that it should be 

 the policy of the society to get the serv- 

 ices of the best man obtainable and to 

 keep him in office continuously. A new 

 man in the secretary's office cannot pos- 

 sibly pick up all the details and be in 

 )io8ition to give the society the best 

 work of which he is capable, until he 

 l.as had one or more years' experience. 

 There are also many times when, if he 

 carries out his duties with sole refer- 

 ence to the best interests of the society, 

 r.e must offend some of the members, 

 ^f he is subject to reelection by popular 

 vote, the temptation to the average man 

 'vill be to let the interests of the so- 

 ciety "go hang" when it is a case of 

 securing the support of a possibly in- 

 ■luential man for his reelection, as 

 'gainst making that same man an ac- 

 tive worker against him. It would 

 f'eem a reasonable proposition that the 

 best service from a secretary will be 

 secured by removing any temptation for 

 iiim to mix up in politics or identify 

 himself with political factions, which 

 will certainly be the case if the office 

 continues to be an elective one and the 

 incumbent wishes to hold it for any 

 'ength of time. 



The president is frequently a new 

 man, who has had no service on the

executive board and is entirely unfa- 

 miliar with the working machinery of 

 the society, and he is compelled to rely 

 largely on the knowledge and experi- 

 ence of the secretary, and both are 

 handicapped when the secretary is a 

 new man and lacking in experience. A 

 good secretary is like certain spirituous 

 liquors; if not compelled to constantly 

 play politics, he is sure to steadily grow 

 better with age. I speak at the pres- 

 ent time from personal experience, 

 knowing how much (although I have 

 seen four years' service on the execu- 

 tive board) I was compelled to rely 

 on the thorough knowledge of the so- 

 ciety's conditions possessed by Mr. 

 Stewart, not only by reason of his great 

 ability, but also through his long serv- 

 ice. The contrast was impressed upon 

 me most forcibly when recently I came 

 to fill the position of secretary under 

 President Traendly and to realize how 

 my lack of experience in the details of 

 the office made me less helpful to Presi- 

 dent Traendly and less useful to the 

 society. 



The amendment to Article 5 is with 

 the intent of giving the society the 

 privilege of saying when it shall meet, 

 as well as where. Under the present 

 conditions, no matter how necessary it 

 might be for the interests of the society 

 to change the date of the meeting for 

 even one week, it could not be done 

 unless a formal notice to change the 

 by-laws had been gotten up some 

 months in advance and all the rest of 

 the red tape had been gone through 

 with. The argument has been advanced 

 that we ought not to make this change 

 because it has always been the other 

 way. This seems to me about as poor 

 an argument, either for or against any 

 proposition, as one could possibly bring 

 up. I cannot see why we may not as 

 safely trust ourselves, when we are as- 

 sembled in annual convention, to de- 

 cide what time we shall meet as to de- 

 cide where we shall meet. There will 

 bo nothing to prevent our continuing

to meet at the same time in August as 

 heretofore unless the majority of the 

 society should wish to meet at another 

 time, and whenever the majority of the 

 society wishes to change the date it cer- 

 tainly seems that we should give our- 

 selves the privilege of doing so. 



The last amendment contemplates the 

 changing of the fee for life member- 

 ship from $25 -to $50. This has been 

 repeatedly thrashed out and voted 

 down, but it still seems to me that $25 

 is an absurdly small fee for life mem- 

 bership and I feel quite confident, in 

 looking over the present list of life 

 members, that there are bat few of 

 them who would not have taken the life 

 membership just as willingly at a $50 

 fee as at a $25 one.
