The committee retired and President
1 Williamson made an estimate Os what
would be the financial condition OF the
atsociation at the close OF the present
assembly.
There had been received from differ
ent sources already g, ,l69, and disbursed
| 81, 1865. The estimated cost OF talent,
ground and hotel help, and hotel ex-
penses, etc, was $4,000. There was $500
In hands OF treasurer at this time, ieav-
ing balance OF $500 to be provided
for. 1t was thought that nearly all this
would be realized from the hotel, sale OF
gate tickets, tents, boats and tables,
leaving probably small deficit to be
made up by the stockholders. H
| The time OF holding the assembly was
also discussed but it was the general
opinion that the directors were doing
the right thing by beginning as near the
first OF July as possible. DIR. Parks re-
ported for the nominating committee
that in view OF the fact that the present
officers at great sacrifice to themselves
had managed the business of the asso.
citation with wise discretion be reelected
except la the case OF two of the directors
who did not live conveniently near TO at.
tend meetings and that two others be
elected to serve in their places. The re.
port was adopted by practically unani
nous vote.
The officers thus elected are: Presi
dent, j. III. Williamson; vice president
T. M. Shanafelt; secretary, j.. l.. Jones'
treasurer, j !. I. Hubbell The first thres
of these, ex-otficio, and w. III. Jordan, HI
II. Kieth, DIR o. o. Sawyer, Prof. I'll. e
Kratz, J. w. Goff, g. L. Wright and 4

board of directors. --'
DR.. Parks further moved that tn,
officers and Prof. Kratz, superintendent
OF the summer schools, be. extended ,
vote OF thanks for donating their ser
vices to the as socIation which wa
promptly carried. The discussion ol
this developed the fact that none OF th
teachers in the summer schools receiv
salary, only expenses travelling ane
while here.

and personal endorsement OF Presiden
Williamson's self sacrificing spirit in hi
> work for the association.
