most  important  results  of  this  section  we  believe,  however,  are  yet 
to  come.  From  this  section  has  grown  "The  Conference  of 
Teaching  Faculties,"  "  The  Conference  of  Members  of  Boards  of 
Pharmacy  "  and  "The  Conference  of  State  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion Secretaries."  There  are  many  indications  that  the  active 
members  of  the  A. Ph. A.  will  contribute  as  much  in  elevating  the 
educational  courses  at  the  various  colleges  and  in  conducing  to  a  wise 
legislation  in  the  various  states  in  the  future  as  they  have  in  the 
past. 
The  Commercial  Section  has  been  productive  to  the  Association 
in  more  ways  than  one.  The  creation  of  a  section  on  Practical 
Pharmacy  and  Dispensing  is  largely  the  outcome  of  the  work  done 
by  Mr.  Hynson.  This  section  has  done  much  good  already  and  is 
likely,  through  the  Sander  prize  of  $50,  to  be  productive  of  even 
greater  good  to  the  retail  pharmacists  of  this  country.  Then  there 
is  the  Committee  on  Exhibits  who  are  arranging  for  an  exhibition 
at  the  St.  Louis  meeting  of  drugs,  chemicals,  pharmaceutical  pre- 
parations, dispensing  apparatus,  prescription  helps,  novelties  in 
labels  and  dispensing,  etc.  The  work  of  this  committee  promises  to 
be  very  instructive. 
When  we  consider  all  these  profitable  and  interesting  features  it 
is  apparent  that  the  A.Ph.A.  was  never  more  alive  than  to-day.  The 
following  provisional  program  shows  in  what  manner  the  St.  Louis
