THE O. & O. SEMI-ANNUAL. 39 
best for all. As it will be possible for any ornithologist, eager to 
advance our knowledge of this science, to become an active mem- 
ber, and the association members being those who aid us by 
reporting all the observations they are enabled to make, but who, 
either from business or any other cause, cannot give as much time 
to the subject of governing the Chapter, as is necessary to intel- 
ligent action, and who now omit to vote when opportunity offers, 
the government of our affairs will not be practically changed 
{rom the present condition. 
Therefore as the proposed change can do no injury but will give 
more stability to our organization, it shouldbe made, unless a 
stronger sentiment against it should be manifested than any yet 
observed. 
If this plan is adopted, all present members will become active 
members, who qualify for membership within a reasonable time, 
alter which the selection of active from associate members will be 
made by the active members, semi-annually, on recommendation 
by the Executive Council.
