little-known regions of the interior of the province. Our thanks 
are also due to the press for the free publication of notices and

In planning the elementary course of lectures for the current 
year, the committee has sought to make them available for pupils 
in the higher grades of the schools ; and there is evidence that 
many will avail themselves of the advantages of these lectures. 
In the proposed Ter-centenary of the discovery of St. John 
by de Monts and Champlain, our Society has felt from the first 
that it would be desirable to have the Royal Society meet in St. 
John on the occasion. Accordingly an invitation from this Society, 
and from the Historical and Loyalist societies, was extended 
to the Royal Society at its meeting in Ottawa in May last to meet 
in St. John about the 24th of June, 1904. The invitation was 
favorably considered, but action was left to the Council, which 
meets in Ottawa early in February. It is the feeling among 
members of this Society, that should the Royal Society accept 
the invitations and honor the city by its presence, this Society 
will do everything possible to make the meeting a pleasant one.
