lowing  members  on  this  Committee :  H.  F.  Taylor,  C.  S.  N.  Hall- 
berg,  C.  A.  Mayo,  F.  B.  Hays  and  Henry  Kraemer. 
William  B.  Day,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Membership, 
recommended  the  appointment  of  an  official  delegate  of  the  A.  Ph. 
A.  to  each  of  the  meetings  of  the  various  State  Pharmaceutical 
Associations  who  is  to  be  requested  to  be  present  at  the  opening 
meeting  of  each  of  the  State  Associations.  This  recommendation 
was  adopted  and  ought  to  be  a  means  of  directing  attention  to 
the  work  of  the  A.  Ph.  A.  and  of  increasing  its  membership  and 
should  besides  receive  the  support  of  all  the  members  of  the  various 
State  pharmaceutical  associations. 
The  following  reports  were  also  received :  the  Committee  on 
Reorganization,  C.  S.  N.  Hallberg,  Chairman ;  the  Committee  on 
Branches,  C.  A.  Mayo,  Chairman;  the  Committee  on  the  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  Monument  Fund,  John  F.  Hancock,  Chairman ;  the 
Committee  on  Publicity,  F.  B.  Hays,  Chairman ;  the  Committee 
on  the  Status  of  Pharmacy  in  the  Army  and  Navy,  George  F. 
Payne,  Chairman. 
The  Committee  on  National  Formulary  through  its  Chairman, 
C.  Lewis  Diehl,  presented  a  report  which  indicated  the  progress 
of  the  work  and  showed  close  co-operation  with  the  members  of 
the  medical  profession  and  the  Committee  on  Unofficial  Standards 
of  A.  Ph.  A.  The  Association  voted  to  allow  a  sum  not  exceeding 
$1000.00  for  the  use  of  the  Committee  in  making  a  line  of  prepara- 
tions which  shall  become  the  property  of  the  Association  and  be 
of  use  for  purposes  of  reference. 
After  the  presentation  of  the  report  of  the  Committee  on 
National  Formulary  it  was  moved  by  George  M.  Beringer  that  an 
honorarium  of  $50  be  voted  M.  I.  Wilbert  for  the  extra  services 
which  he  voluntarily  rendered  as  a  member  of  the  Committee  by 
having  mimeographed  copies  made  of  the  various  circular  letters 
and  committee  reports.  This  motion  was  at  first  approved  by  the 
Association,  but  later  Mr.  Beringer  asked  to  reconsider  the  action 
taken,  as  Mr.  Wilbert  stated  that  on  account  of  his  being  a 
government  employe  he  could  not  accept  the  honorarium.  After 
some  additional  discussion  it  was  suggested  that  a  vote  of  thanks 
to  Surgeon-General  Wyman,  for  his  willingness  to  co-operate  in 
the  perfecting  of  the  U.S. P.  and  the  N.F.,  would  be  the  more 
appropriate  method  of  showing  the  appreciation  of  the  work  done
