After this talk the business meeting was held. The report of the Secretary and Treasurer was read and approved. Air. Cleavinger presented the report of the endowment committee, calling attention to the fact that lower rates of interest made it important that this fund should be increased.

Mr. Gjelsness then discussed the advisability of celebrating the 40th annirsary of the founding of the school at the meeting of the association in 1938. \ motion was made and carried that a committee be appointed to consider such a celebration. j Anne M.
