(3) That the Employment Bureau be discontinued, and that the money be re¬ 
turned to those registrants who have credit with the Bureau. 
(4) That since the Committee on Policy has made provision for a sub-committee on 
entomological research and standards, the Committee on Entomological Investiga¬ 
tions be discontinued. 
(5) That a material advance in the scale of compensation of entomological workers 
is essential to the present and future welfare of this important branch of science. 
That the following schedule of salaries is endorsed by this Association as reasonable 
compensation for efficient professional services in entomology: 
A. Chief Executive: In administrative and technical charge of a major organiza¬ 
tion, involving extensive executive responsibility, and the determination and direction 
of broad policies and undertakings; salary $7,500 and up. 
B. Department or Division Head: In administrative and technical charge of a 
major division or department of an organization, involving full responsibility for its 
direction; salary $4,000 and up. 
C. Associate , or Senior Assistant: Under general administrative direction of a 
department or division head, and responsible for the technical direction of a consider¬ 
able subdivision; salary $3,000 and up. 
D. Assistant: Under specific administrative direction and performing prescribed 
technical duties; salary $1,800 and up. 
That the Association and its members earnestly urge the adoption of the above 
schedule throughout the country. 
(6) That active membership in our Association should be maintained as an honor 
dug to high grade work and constantly maintained interest in the furtherance of our 
Association and its ideals. Unless such a high standard is maintained active member¬ 
ship will have no significance. 
(7) That this Association unites with the Entomological Society of America in the 
publication and distribution of a concise conference report based on the reports of 
National Museum committees of the two associations, calling attention to the urgent 
needs for greatly increased facilities for the Division of Insects. 
Further, that this need be communicated to the National Research Council with an 
urgent plea for council support in improvement of facilities for entomology. 
(8) That since we feel it necessary to the best interests of this Association and the 
’ furtherance of economic entomology in the United States, that divisional heads in the 
U. S. Bureau of Entomology be present and take part in our annual meetings, 
the Department of Agriculture can well afford to grant leave of absence on full pay, 
and meet the expenses of such officials for such purpose, even if it is deemed necessary 
to curtail the present extensive travel of minor assistants. 
(9) That the phrase in the motion which established the Committee on Policy at the 
thirty-first annual meeting, as follows: “The originating and directing of all policies 
of the Association and its various undertakings” be stricken out, for the purpose of 
clarity and to avoid repetition. 
(10) That this Association heartily approves the proposed reprinting of the Riley 
Missouri Reports. 
(11) That inasmuch as the further spread of the gipsy moth and the brown-tail 
moth is a menace to the agricultural, horticultural and forestry interests of the United 
States, and since cost of operation has greatly increased, and thus made it impossible 
to conduct the work against these insects with the appropriation now available, this 
Association favors an additional appropriation by Congress of $100,000 for the Bureau 
of Entomology, to be devoted to this important work, and further, that this Associa¬ 
tion take every reasonable measure to support this appropriation.
