lo THE JOURNAL. 



One feature of the year's campaign is that Associate 

 members are to be on an almost equal footing with the 

 Active, except in voting. We want to draw out what ma- 

 terial we know there must be in our Associate ranks. You 

 are to have just as much to do in the investigations as any 

 member, and you have the privilege of making petitions 

 and offering plans of work. 



We mail to every person who has ever been connected 

 with the Chapter, a copy of our first Journal. There are 

 others to follow at intervals of three months, but here- 

 after copies will be mailed only to pciid up members. As- 

 sessments should be sent to the Secretary, Mr. W. N. 

 Clule, Binghampton, N. Y. ^i.oo for Active and 50 cents 

 for Associate members. 



Members and subscribers who have not received Quar- 

 terlies to the amount of their subscriptions or assessments 

 may order back numbers of the Quarterly or Semi- Annual, 

 or current numbers of the Journal in full payment.
