It  should  be  remembered,  however,  that  in  the  event  that  this 
Journal  should  not  prove  to  be  all  that  its  most  ardent  advocates 
expect  it  will  be,  but  becomes  an  additional  factor  in  hindering 
progress,  instead  of  promoting  the  objects  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  as  paraphrased  so  tersely  from  the  late  Editor 
of  the  Bulletin,  such  a  Journal  might  serve  to  stifle  research,  sup- 
press knowledge,  and  discredit  pharmaceutical  education. 
Your  committee  would,  in  conclusion,  reiterate  its  original  recom- 
mendation, that  the  Council  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation be  importuned  to  defer  publication  of  the  Journal  until  oppor- 
tunity shall  have  been  afforded  for  the  thorough  discussion  of  these 
considerations. 
In  view  of  the  urgent  and  far-reaching  importance  of  this  matter, 
your  committee  would  recommend  that  the  Secretary  of  the  Branch 
be  directed  to  forward  copies  of  this  report  to  the  individual  members 
of  the  Council  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  to 
the  pharmaceutical  press.
