ARTICLE IV.-OFFICERS.

21. The officers of this Association shall be a President, twelve VicePresidents, a Secretary, a Treasurer, one Counsellor for each State, District, or Territory represented in the Association, and the officers charged with the administration of their respective departments. Any friend of education may become a life-director by the donation of one hundred dollars to the Association at one time, either by himself or in his behalf. 22. The President, Vice-Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Counsellors, Life-Directors, and presiding officers of their respective departments, shall constitute the Board of Directors, and, as such, shall have power to appoint such committees from their own number as they shall deem expedient.

23. The elective officers of the Association shall be chosen by ballot, unless otherwise ordered, on the second day of each annual session, a majority of the votes cast being necessary for a choice. They shall continue in office until the close of the annual session subsequent to their election, and until their successors are chosen.

? 4. Each department shall be administered by a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and such other officers as it shall deem necessary to conduct its affairs.

25. The President shall preside at all meetings of the Association and of the Board of Directors, and shall perform the duties usually devolving upon a presiding officer. In his absence, the First Vice-President in order who is present shall preside; and in the absence of all the VicePresidents, a pro tempore Chairman shall be appointed on nomination, the Secretary putting the question.

26. The Secretary shall keep a full and accurate report of the proceedings of the general meetings of the Association and all meetings of the Board of Directors; and shall conduct such correspondence as the Directors may assign; and shall have his records present at all meetings of the Association and of the Board of Directors.

Upon the written application of twenty members of the Association for permission to establish a new department, they may grant such permission.

effect be a sufficient amendment to this Constitution for the insertion of its name in Article II, and the Secretary shall make the necessary alterations.

? 9. The Board of Directors shall appoint three trustees into whose hands shall be placed for safe keeping and investment, all funds which the Association may receive from the creation of life-directorships, or from donations, unless the donors shall specify other purposes for which they may be used.

RE,

MEMBERS AT BALTIMORE,

ARRANGED BY STATES.

REMARK.-The Secretary's personal knowledge of the initials, names, and residence of a majority of the members in attendance at Baltimore, has enabled him to make several corrections in the following list of names forwarded by the Treasurer. In some cases the wrong States were given. There are doubtless several mistakes yet uncorrected. B. Mallon's address was reported Atlanta, Ga., and Baltimore, Md. He does not know of two persons of this name. It may be a case of change of address without erasure of the first. As printed matter is not forwarded or returned without prepayment of postage, it is important that volumes of Proceedings should not be wrongly directed. All will be done that is possible to prevent the loss of volumes by postal cards sent in advance to persons whose address is doubtful. At the next meeting wide blanks will be furnished with printed headings for name, profession, School or Institution of Learning (if any), Post-Office, No. and Street, County, and State, to be filled by members. This will insure a more accurate list of members than has ever heretofore been secured.
