THE FERN BULLETIN 



year after year ? It is not its miscellaneous stories and 

 things that are as timely a hundred years hence as now. 

 To our notion an intelligent reader wants to find some- 

 thing- that has force ; something- that he is inclined to 

 either clasp or kick. A journal secures real lovers only 

 as it presents a definite and strong editorial policy 

 which, on the whole, commends itself to them." 



AMERICAN FERN SOCIETY 



The Annual Election in October resulted in the elect- 

 ion of Prof. E. J. Winslow of Elmira, N. Y., as presi- 

 dent and the re-election of Miss Mirick as treasurer. 

 The vote for vice-president resulted in a tie and ths 

 vote for secretary is still being canvassed by the advis- 

 ory council. This issue of the Fern Bulletin has been 

 held for some time in the hope of announcing the com- 

 plete list of officers, but further delay seems unadvis- 

 able. The result will be announced in the January 

 number. 



For some unexplained reason, no Annual Report for 

 1907 has been issued and in consequence the list of 

 members contains many inaccuracies. It is to be hoped 

 that the regular report will soon be issued and that 

 members will promptly notify the officers of any change 

 in address. Since the annual dues must soon be forth- 

 coming it is suggested that members notify the treas- 

 urer of such changes when sending in dues.
