Am'oct,ri8^7.arm*}    American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  537 
A  special  report  of  the  Committee  on  Publication,  referred  by  Council  to 
this  section,  was  read.  It  was  in  reference  to  a  proposition  made  the  year 
before  that  papers  be  printed  for  the  use  of  the  members  present.  The  re- 
port was  in  opposition  to  this  plan,  but  favored  the  printing  of  a  synopsis  of 
each  paper,  this  being  regarded  as  sufficient  to  enable  the  listener  to  intelli- 
gently discuss  a  paper  which  he  may  have  heard  read.  The  section,  how- 
ever, favored  the  printing  of  the  papers  by  the  Association's  printer  in  the 
type  in  which  they  are  to  appear  in  the  Proceedings,  and  the  Association 
subsequently  ordered  that  arrangements  be  made  to  that  effect  by  the  Per- 
manent Secretary. 
The  Section  on  Pharmaceutical  Education  was  organized  by  the  election  of 
Professor  J.  F.  Judge,  of  Cincinnati,  chairman ;  Professor  H.  M.  Whelpley, 
of  St.  Louis,  secretary,  and  Professor  P.  W.  Bedford,  of  New  York,  as  the 
third  member  of  the  Educational  Committee.  No  further  business  was 
transacted  before  the  Section  adjourned. 
The  Section  on  Pharmaceutical  Legislation  was  organized  by  the  election  of 
Dr.  R.  F.  Bryant,  of  Kansas,  chairman ;  Wm.  P.  DeForest,  of  Brooklyn, 
secretary,  and  John  M.  Maisch,  of  Philadelphia,  as  the  third  member  of  tho 
committee. 
On  motion  of  Mr.  Day,  a  committee  of  five  was  appointed  to  devise  a 
plan,  if  the  same  be  feasible,  for  the  interchange  of  certificates  by  State 
Boards  of  Pharmacy.  The  chair  subsequently  appointed  Messrs  Day,  of 
Illinois;  Nicot,  of  New  York;  Hatton,  of  Ohio;  Schafer,  of  Iowa,  and  Mc- 
Donald, of  Michigan. 
As  subjects  for  discussion  at  the  meeting  next  year  Mr.  Day  proposed : 
"  Should  the  Diplomas  of  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  entitle  Holders  to  Regis- 
tration without  Examination?  "  and  Mr.  Hallberg  offered  "  An  Outline  of  a 
Pharmacy  Law  Embodying  All  Desirable  Features." 
The  session  of  the  Section  was  attended  by  representatives  of  eight  State 
Boards  and  two  County  Boards  of  Pharmacy. 
The  Ninth  Session  of  the  Association  convened  on  Friday  morning,  Sep- 
tember 9th,  when  after  routine  business,  the  introductory  to  the  report  on, 
the  progress  of  pharmacy,  and  the  report  on  the  drug  market  were  read.  A 
motion  that  in  the  latter  report  the  names  of,  drugs  be  changed  in  accord- 
ance with  pharmacopceial  nomenclature,  was  lost,  after  several  speakers 
had  expressed  their  preference  for  following  commercial  usage  in  a  report 
pertaining  to  commercial  matters. 
A  motion  inviting  female  pharmacists  to  join  was  tabled  as  being  unneces- 
sary, since  the  Association  had  elected  ladies  as  members  some  years  ago. 
A  supplementary  report  from  the  Nominating  Committee  was  received, 
naming  three  members  of  Council,  and  Mr.  James  Vernor,  of  Detroit,  Local 
Secretary.  The  nominees  were  elected,  and  Mr.  Vernor  was  also  made 
chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Arrangements. 
Various  telegrams  and  invitations  were  received  and  acknowledged.  The 
delegates  from  the  National  Wholesale  Drug  Association  who  were  present, 
addressed  the  meeting,  and  a  committee  was  appointed  to  visit  that  associa- 
tion at  its  next  meeting.
