Important to Members 



The Board of Directors has instructed the Committee on 

 Publication to employ> every possible means to make the Bulle- 

 tin an efficient means of communication with the members of 

 the Academy, and we indulge the hope that our endeavors 

 may lead to greater interest than has heretofore been shown 

 in the important aims of this worthy organization. 



But we are compelled to be frank and to inform the mem- 

 bers that the financial support given to the Board is now 

 entirely inadequate to the needs. A little effort on the part of 

 each to add to the membership will mean much in growth and 

 increased influence of the Southern California Academy of 

 Sciences. See that ycur dues are promptly paid, and secure 

 one or more members. IT WILL PAY YOU WELL. 



A very important step was taken by the Board m accepting 

 the courteous offer, by the authorities of the Southern Cali- 

 fornia State Normal School, of the use of suitable rooms for 

 the meetings of the Academy and its sections, the limited 

 quarters at the Chamber of Commerce having proved expensive 

 and inadequate.
