The doctor called up the questions
of dividing the society into sections or
divisions, having permanent secre-
tary and permanent place of meet

presidents of other state societies and
with information thus derived DIR.
Miller thought that il might he well

a permanent secretary the publica-

naturally accrue, would form the
nucleus of a valuable library. As
for a permanent meeting place the
doctor thought there should be two
established, one in north and the
other in south Missouri, where the
meetings could alternately be held.
The presidents address which was
not only rich in suggestions to the So
ciety but a noble tribute to the State
Of Missouri, was well received, and a
of FIVE was, on motion, APP
pointed to report on the address be-
