which to keep the records of the Society.

Mr.. Chase moved that the Committee
appointed to prepare an address to the
trustees, be requested to ask the trustees

years. Motion carried
Mr.. Beiler offered his resignation of the
office of Vice President, which was ac-
cepted and Mr.. North was elected to fill
the vacancy. The Critics report was
| then given.
A motion to petition the trustees to
levy local tax for the purpose Of school
tuition. Motion carried.
Mr.. Bailey objected to this. Thinks it
looks too much like debating for the
| trustees. That they will do as they please
about it. Thinks that teachers are humil-
iating themselves in making such peti-
tion
Mr.. Chase thinks not. Thinks It will
not be regarded as such by trustees.
Thinks they will act upon the subject as
soon as it is presented to them in the
right light, as they considered the subject
but very little themselves. T. Mcdonald
thinks as Mr.. Chase does Thinks the
Trustees will be willing to do all they
can when they think they will be sustain
! ed in it.
The subject of fning delinquent mem
bers was brought forward, Mr.. Bailey
thought it were better not to fine them.
Mr.. Chase thinks they should be fined,
and if not willing to pay it, be excluded
as members. That the constitution adopt
ed 3y the mem oers, provides for this and
it should be lived up to.
Mr.. Beiler moved that the Sec., be re-
quested to make record of the ''consttu-
ton and bylaws" in the book to be provi-
ded for that purpose. The Committee to
draft Resolutions, then gave their report

bon; and to the Pres't of Salem Col
lege at Bourbon,-mOtiOn was carried.

ercise in Select Reading. The Associa-
ton then adjourned TO meet, Nov. ~.
