ty beyond the-expiration of the pres
ent year. MV; Search has recently

determination, and one of the most
interesting problems which the com
ing convention will iiave to consid
er is the selection of,a newpresident.
This matter has '.been i-dis'cussed quiet
ly iamongr the. members for several
months, but at present ihere is
nothing to indicate upon whom the
choice i oY the ' association "will fall.
