called for an election of new members, a list of which 

 appeared in the bulletin. 



During the year 45 Active and 7 Associate members have 

 been admitted, a new Constitution adopted, and new 

 methods of work planned. 



Lynds Jones, President 



PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



I thank you for the honor of re-electing me a second 

 time to the honorable position in which you have seen fit 

 to place me. 



We enter upon the new year under a new and definite 

 Constitution, a largely increared membership, broadened 

 facilities, and new methods of work. The interest shown 

 in the proposed work assures me that work of a higher 

 character will be done this year. We must and will push it 

 until what we seek is won ! We are bound to discover new 

 things this year. 



We must increase the range of our investigations. There 

 is great and urgent need for more observers. Then you 

 can do far more than all the officers by inviting those whom 

 you know to be "made of the stuff" that we want to join 

 us as Active working members. Let every present mem- 

 ber, new or old, bring in at least one new member this year, 

 before the April election. Our Secretary, Mr. Willard N. 

 Clute, of Binghampton, N. Y., will edit a page in \\\& Popu- 

 lar Science News. It will contain Chapter news and some 

 reports. President Ballard generously offers the paper for 

 50 cents a year toclubs of six or more, if subscriptions 

 are sent to Mr. Clute or himself. It is a fine chance to 

 get a good paper, full of such news as all want, cheap. 

 You will find it a good investment.
