The President-General, at this point, made a most interesting and
instructive address upon the work of the Society, pointing out what had
been accomplished during the past twelve months and indicating what its
general policy would be for the future. A review was made of the work of
the different officers of the Society, and recommendations of an
appropriate and timely nature were presented. Unfortunately, the text of
the President-General’s remarks cannot be given as the stenographic
clerk was temporarily absent.
The Secretary-General presented and read the following report, which, by
unanimous vote, was accepted and placed on file:
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL.
It is with much pleasure I present the report of my office for 1909,
which has been to the Society a year of success, prosperity and great
advancement.
At the commencement of my term of office as Acting Secretary-General in
September, 1908, there were 538 members enrolled on the books. Many of
these had not paid dues for a number of years, and had lost all interest
in the Society and its objects, while others had deceased and no record
had been kept of them because word had not been communicated to the
Secretary-General.
A general house-cleaning took place, and a list of members in arrears
for two years and more was prepared and submitted to the Executive
Council, which ordered extra notices sent to every delinquent in order
that each member in arrears might know the extent of his obligations.
