572  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.    iAm' ^lrm' 
Maiden,  director  Botanical  Garden  New  South  Wales,  Sydney ;  Wm. 
Kirby,  M.Sc,  president  British  Pharmaceutical  Conference,  and 
Sir  William  Glyn- Jones,  secretary  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great 
Britain. 
The  various  section  meetings  were  well  attended  and  there  was 
no  lack  of  papers  or  of  interest  in  the  numerous  and  varied  topics 
discussed,  the  main  difficulty  being  the  finding  of  the  time  necessary 
for  their  proper  consideration.  This  was  evidenced,  for  example, 
in  the  forced  curtailment  of  the  "  Symposium  on  the  U.  S.  P.  Revi- 
sion "  that  had  been  arranged  as  part  of  the  program  of  the  Section 
on  Education  and  Legislation. 
As  a  result  very  largely  of  the  efforts  of  Mr.  Frank  H.  Free- 
ricks,  chairman  of  the  A.  Ph.  A.  Advisory  Committee  for  Soldier 
and  Sailor  Pharmacists,  a  War  Veterans  Section  was  organized  with 
Dr.  R.  P.  Fischelis  as  chairman. 
No  matter  what  particular  interest  appealed  to  the  member  in 
attendance,  he  was  sure  to  find  among  the  papers  one  or  more  that 
presented  subjects  that  contained  alike  food  for  thought  and  profit. 
If  his  principal  interest  was  in  matters  scientific,  then  the  various 
papers  presented  at  the  three  meetings  of  the  Scientific  Section  gave 
him  a  surfeit.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  as  a  practical  dispensing 
pharmacist  he  was  interested  in  the  problems  presented  by  others 
similarly  engaged,  he  found  in  the  Section  on  Practical  Pharmacy 
and  Dispensing  a  clearing  house  for  the  transmission  of  such  voca- 
tional subjects.  The  Section  on  Commercial  Interest  also  offered 
an  unusually  well  prepared  list  of  topics  and  addresses  all  of  which 
were  of  the  greatest  importance  to^the  adoption  of  correct  business 
methods  that  would  assure  the  greatest  success.  The  same  can  be 
said  with  equal  earnestness  as  to  the  programs  of  the  other  sections. 
The  several  recommendations  of  President  LaWall  all  looked 
toward  improving  the  service  rendered  by  the  A.  Ph.  A.  and  the 
making  of  this  Association  a  still  greater  factor  in  furthering  the 
welfare  of  humanity.  The  recommendation  that  the  Code  of  Ethics 
be  revised  and  then  printed  on  the  application  blank  for  member- 
ship, or  if  that  be  not  possible,  that  a  copy  be  distributed  with  each 
such  blank,  so  that  there  will  be  constantly  in  evidence  our  pro- 
fessional ideals  to  which  each  member  is  to  subscribe,  was  unani- 
mously adopted.  The  question  of  advancing  the  dues  to  $7.50  was 
referred  to  a  referendum  vote  of  the  members  to  be  taken  along  with 
the  annual  election  by  mail.
