incorporated under the Revised Statutes of
the District of Columbia, February "a. 1856,

of the corporation was limited to twenty
years. In order to provide for this con-
tingency the association directed that ac-
ton be taken to continue the corporate ex-
istence of the association. The bill in its
character and general form is similar to
the act passed by Congress Incorporating
the Carnegie Institution.

of the present constitution and standing
resolutions of the National Educational AS
ISOLATION, and provides for the continuance
Of the present system of organization and
administration, and for the continuance in

created by the bill, shall be held for and

ed limitations, subject to the existing lfabil-
tiles of the present association, and that
an annual report of the property and ex-
pendltures of the corporation shall be filed
with the commissioner of education of the
United States. Incorporation by act of Con-
gress rather than under general laws is es-
pecially desired by the association in order
