Mr. E. D. Ball: After a man dies, we can’t make any other use of 
this money under that provision. 
Mr. C. L. Marlatt: I think it might be well to provide that this 
money should go into the permanent capital of the Association. It 
goes without saying that the interest on this fund, unless it is spent in 
some other way, goes into the treasury of the Association and in that 
sense offsets the dues and Journal costs. It isn’t necessary to pass a 
resolution to this effect. 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: As I understand the motion, it is simply 
to give safe method of handling the funds that will come in from life 
members. If a man takes life membership and pays $100, that $100 
will be transferred to the permanent fund and held there so that the 
income from it could be used to pay his dues and subscription to the 
Journal during the period of his life. 
Mr. C. L. Marlatt: I wish to amend the motion to provide that the 
fees from life members be added to the permanent invested funds of the 
Association and that the income may be used to meet current Associa- 
expenses. 
Mr. W. E. Britton: The only objection I see to the amendment is 
that the income might be used for any expenses of the Association. 
It was voted that the motion be passed as amended. 
President A. G. Ruggles : The following committees were appointed 
some time ago, but I will read the list at this time. 
Committee on Resolutions: S. B. Fracker, G. M. Bentley, and R. L. 
Webster. 
Committee on Nominations: J. E. Graf, Leonard Haseman, and J. W. 
McColloch. 
We will now listen to the report of the Special Committee on Sectioning 
the Association. 
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SECTIONING THE AMERICAN 
ASSOCIATION OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS 
The growing importance of economic entomology, and the consequent increase in 
the number of workers, resulting in an increasing number of papers each year to be 
presented before this Association, has made it advisable to consider means of avoid¬ 
ing the difficulties now encountered because of the crowded program. 
Your committee, appointed in September 1923, sent a questionnaire to all of the 
active members of the Association and the following report is based largely on the 
replies received. 
It does not seem advisable at the present time to create new sections so long as a 
systematic grouping to permit logical overlapping will accomplish the result desired.
