110 Transactions of S.M.P.E., Vol. XIII, No. 37, 1929 Aims and Accomplishments Booklet "We have sent to a list of representative libraries in the United States and Canada, a copy each of the new Aims and Accomplishment book. The list, totaling 228 names, was furnished by Mr. Crab tree. Since the appointment of an assistant, we have been able to take care of present requirements, and in fact, to assist to some degree, other officers and committee chairmen in handling their routine matters. Much more should be done along this direction as the Society expands. As an experiment, we intend to take over, at Mr. McGuire 's urgent request, the publication of the Quarterly Bulletin after this convention. I do not want to over-emphasize the amount of work and correspondence which is handled by the Secretary, but my experience during the past six months has convinced me that the Society is nearing a point in size and prestige where further organization of the Secretary's office will be advantageous. There is no difficulty in finding plenty to do. The real difficulty lies in proper discrimination between conflicting tasks. In addition, methods which were satisfactory when the Society was small, and every member knew each other, have to be revised to meet our new conditions of greater membership and extended geographical limits. These new conditions place increased demands on the Secretary's office. E. S. BURNAP, Secretary
