468 SPRING MEETING [j. s. M. P E.
Our Transactions went to many foreign countries; approximately one-fourth of the Transactions distributed from this office have gone to non-members in foreign countries.
PRINTING AND STATIONERY
In order to insure that stationery of uniform quality is used, and that printed matter is handled through a central source, practically all requirements along this line have been taken care of by the Secretary. On the whole, this scheme has worked out well. The Secretary has taken care of all printed matter circularized to the members during the past six months. In addition, the publication of the Bulletin was taken over for this six-months' period. Two issues, one in June and one in September, have been prepared and mailed to the membership.
Assistance has been given to other officers and committee chairmen in preparing mailing material and in the furnishing of addressed envelopes.
CONCLUSION
As a result of my year's experience as Secretary, it is evident to me that there are many opportunities for further centralization of the Society's activities and coordination of effort through the Secretary's office. However, in view of the fact that the publishing of a journal is under immediate consideration, it does not seem advisable to make recommendations at the present time. Undoubtedly much routine work now handled by the Secretary will be taken care of by the office conducting this JOURNAL. Details of coordination and centralization under these new conditions will require careful consideration and will have to be worked out by the manager conducting the JOURNAL.
Respectfully submitted, R. S. BURNAP, Secretary
