GUY E. MARION, Treasurer.
On motion of Mr. Montgomery the report was received.
The CHAIRMAN: The report of the executive board of the Special
Libraries Association is brief. It is proposed during the coming year
to readjust as far as possible the committee system and substitute
therefor representatives for certain sections of the country, so that
the persons who represent those sections shall be responsible for the
part in which they are located. It is entirely a matter for the board.
I think that will be the extent of their report, in brief, and I will
now call for the report of the nominating committee, Mr. Lee.
Mr. LEE: The nominating committee respectfully submits the following
list of officers for the ensuing year:
President: D. N. Handy, Boston.
Vice-President: R. H. Johnston, Washington.
Secretary-Treasurer: G. E. Marion, Boston.
Executive Board: Officers ex-officio: O. E. Norman, Chicago;
Florence Spencer, New York.
There being no counter nominations, on motion, the secretary cast a
ballot for the association, and the chair declared the nominees elected
for their respective offices.
Mr HANDY: Will it be in order now to take up the matter of special
education for the special training of library assistants?
The CHAIRMAN: That comes under the head of new business, which we are
now taking up. You are quite in order.
Mr. HANDY: I would make a motion that a committee of three be appointed
by the President, upon the training of special librarians, with
instructions to report upon this matter at the next annual meeting.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Lapp and carried.
Upon motion of Dr. Andrews the meeting adjourned sine die.
