A Financial Statement 
In order that the membership at large may know something 
about the use of the funds of the Society, the Board of Directors sub- 
mits the following informal summary of receipts and disbursements, 
based upon the report of the Treasurer, for the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 19386: 
Per Cent 
Receipts of Total 
Income: from membership dues... 0 Gs. 24. ee A1.75 
Interest on endowment and other invested funds...... AZebo 
Receipts from sales of leaflets, cards, books, etc., and 
contributions from interested friends........... 15:50 
These proportions naturally vary in different years since the re- 
ceipts from dues, forming a very appreciable portion of the total in- 
come, are by no means constant. For example, the income from this 
source during the past year was only about 30 per cent of the amount 
received from membership dues during the year of 1929-30. It is 
therefore quite in place to say here that more members are needed, 
and that those in arrears for dues during recently past years should 
be urged to reinstate their good standing so that the Society may ex- 
tend its influence toward the accomplishment of the objectives for 
which it stands.
