 Among the more important business matters brought up for discussion was that of dropping two of the four meet ings held during the year. Meetings have been held heretofore quarterly, but as many of the members are away during June and as the weather Is often unfavorable in January, the meetings held during these months have not been as largely attended as they might have been. The general sentiment Is favorable to the dropping of the June and January meetings leavong but two meetings during the year, one being the October meeting and the other the annual meeting held in the spring. The matter will come up for final decision at the next meet ing which will be held in October it being decided to postpone the June meeting until that time. Another mat ter acted upon was the Sunday after noon meetings, at the Backus hospf- tai. It was decided to omit the meet ings heretofore held during July and August and Miss Geer was appointed a committee to arrange for the holding of meetings during the remaining ten months of the year.
