APATHY DISCUSSED TODAY.
Much discussion was INDUCED in at
the morning session today over the lack
Of interest IN the meetings Of the assoc
citation and the rather Hight attendance.
Or. r. Harvey Reed OF Rock Springs,
Wyo., brought the matter to the atten-
ton o. the association. He said that
there was lack Of interest displayed
by the members and he though, per-
haps II was due TO the fact that the
meetings were not properly advertised
SO as to create interest among the
members OF the profession.
BLAMEs MEMBERS.
Dr. f.. S. Wright of Salt Lake stated
IN behalf Of the committee in charge OF
this meeting that everything possible
had been done to make II success. lie
was Of the opinion that the trouble was
with the individual members and that
they were not very enthusiastic over
the meetings and failed to attend the
sessions OF the association. II was
suggested by a visiting physician that
perhaps the association should not meet
once a year. He thought perhaps II II
met only every two or three years that
much more interest would be taken In
the sessions and larger attendance
could be secured
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
President solier suggested that, mas
much as this matter had come up, II
would be advisable to appoint a com
mittee to consider ways and means OF
making the future meetings OF the as
ISOLATION more successful. A motion
to that effect was made and carried and
Drs. Lecy. Niles and Reed were APP
pointed on the committee. with instruc-
lions to report this afternoon,
