eting in the Middle West. The New York City region
will probably be better for us a year later. The other good places we
have visited rather recently. So we are recommending that the place of
meeting be Beltsville.

Do you wish to consider the time of meeting now, or will we vote on the
place?

President Davidson: Let's act on that now. First, may I have a motion?

A Member: I will move we hold our next convention at Beltsville,
Maryland.

(The motion was seconded, vote taken and motion carried unanimously.)

President Davidson: Now, time of meeting.

Mr. Slate: It has been customary for us to have our meeting early in
September, about Labor Day. Next Labor Day is the 5th of September. Now,
we are not making any recommendations as to time, but if we follow our
past custom we will probably meet about the 6th, 7th and 8th. Some of
you might like to come later to avoid the Labor Day traffic, but that
interferes with some of those who have teaching duties, registration,
and so forth, at that time of the year. Personally, I do not think that
the Labor Day traffic is insurmountable. It is rather unpleasant in
certain areas, but we can make it all right, and we have made it.
Perhaps I should recommend the dates the 6th, 7th and 8th, which are
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

President Davidson: You have heard the report. What shall you do with
it?

Dr. MacDaniels: I move its adoption.

(The motion was seconded, vote taken and motion carried unanimously.)

President Davidson: Next, I should say, we would like to have a report
of the nominating committee.

Mr. Weber: The Nominating Committee reports for the consideration of the
members the following list of candidates:

For president, H. F. Stoke from Virginia. Vice-president, L. H.
MacDaniels from New York. For secretary, J. C. McDaniel from Tennessee,
and treasurer, Sterling A. Smith from Ohio.

President Davidson: You have heard the report of this committee. I
should say that in this case nominations from the floor would be in
order.

A Member: Mr. President, I move that nominations be closed.

(The motion was seconded, vote taken, and motion carried unanimously.)

President Davidson: That was on the motion that nominations be closed.
What is your pleasure, shall we vote by ballot or shall we vote by--

A Member: Mr. President, I move that the secretary be instructed to cast
a unanimous ballot for those nominated by the Nominating Committee.
