owing to an illness in her family, so that we missed her and her 
beautiful lantern slides. 
A paper from Prof. Eikichi lishiba, Sendai, Japan and another by

The Secretary in Charge stated that the hearty response given by 
the members to all his requests for aid proved that the S. M. Society 
is very much alive and capable of doing excellent work. He would 
urge, however a closer cooperation between the departments of the 
Society. A close personal acquaintance of the heads of departments 
and officers and members at large would aid greatly in bringing this 
about.
