had represented the National Research Council at the meeting of The World 
Cotton Conference at Atlantic City, N. J., May 28, 1919. 
The Chairman reported that it was necessary to finance the work of

Thorndike, Whipple, and Yerkes, Chairman, from the appropriation of 
$25,000 from the General Education Board.

Mr. Yerkes, Chairman of the Research Information Service, presented a 
report on publications which was adopted in the following form: 
A joint committee of the National Academy of Sciences and of the National Research 
Council has agreed that material of permanent scientific value offered to the Research Coun- 
cil for publication shall be placed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sci- 
ences and reprinted for distribution by the Research Council. All other material of the Re- 
search Council presumably would be published directly or reprinted as seemed desirable 
from other periodicals. 
The arrangement recommended by this joint committee renders it highly desirable that 
the form of publication adopted by the Research Council be the same as that of the 
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sceences. 
There are obvious reasons why the Research Council should seriously consider the publi- 
cation of propaganda as contrasted with other types of scientific material, but it is not clear 
that re-publication of material of scientific value is desirable. 
For consideration by the Executive Board of the National Research Council the following 
proposals are submitted: 
(1) That a publication to be known as the Bulletin of the National Research Council be 
established. 
(2) That this series shall include the proceedings of the National Research Council and 
its divisions, publicity and propaganda material, reports of committees, and other special 
reports. 
(3) That the Bidletin shall appear irregularly and that within reasonable limits it may 
vary in form in accordance with the requirements of the material. 
(4) That the several bulletins shall be numbered consecutively and shall be so arranged 
that approximately 500 pages shall constitute a volume. 
(5) That the regular subscription price shall be fixed at $5.00 per volume. 
(6) That the bulletins shall be sold separately, except in case of strictly publicity mate- 
rial, at a minimum price of ten cents for numbers of not more than ten pages, and at the rate 
of one-half cent for each page in excess of ten. 
(7) That the size of type page be 27 by 45 picas, as in the Proceedings of the National 
Academy of Sciences, and the type number 31 monotype, 11 point, with 2 point leads.
