THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION 97 



THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1912. 



President Mason. I will appoint on the Nominating Com- 

 mittee, Mr. J. B. Newman, Mr. Jesse Sligar and Mr. B. H. Wing. 



Mr. Newman saw our member that was hurt yesterday and 

 I would like to have him make a statement. 



Mr. Newman : In company with Mr. Sudendorf we have just 

 returned from St. Anthony's Hospital. We found Brother Bid- 

 dulph better than we expected. He had a good night's rest, but 

 he is weak from the loss of a large amount of blood. We gave 

 him some words of encouragement; he will probably have to 

 stay a few days before he returns home but we are happy to 

 report that he is doing well. 



We will listen to a paper by Professor E. H. Webster on 

 "The Quality and How to Secure It." The Secretary has his 

 paper and I will ask him to read it now. 



Mr. Wing : The Nominating Committee is ready to report 

 if you are ready to hear from them. 



Your nominating committee beg to report as follows : 



That in their estimation the best interest of this Association 

 and the furtherance of the progress it stands for is insured by the 

 retention in office during the coming year, so full of possibilities, 

 the present Board of Directors.
