by law. There are appendices giving the texts of the chief federal trade acts.

It might be wished that the author had given a more detailed description of the leading association activities; also a more critical explanation of the reasons why some policies were successful and others were not. The reader also misses some constructive suggestions for the future development of association work. The first of these needs is partly supplied in a well-written booklet, Trade Associations, issued by the National Association of Manufacturers. Perhaps it is as yet too early to expect a discussion of policies, because most of the work undertaken is still new and its value and future development cannot be quickly appraised.

The author has given a highly valuable survey of the present lines of activity and

has referred the reader to helpful sources of information. All statements of policy are well documented; the references both to association minutes and other publications, and to court decisions and administrative correspondence, are thoroughly up-to-date. The author's attitude is that of a broad-visioned student of trade and legal affairs who has a keen practical sense of the value of coöperation, and who wants to see association activities conducted along legal lines that will be helpful to their members and to the public at large. The treatment is both scholarly and interesting. The views expressed are sane and practical and the material has been gathered and presented in a natural order. The author has done a real public service in a new and fruitful field of research. JAMES T. YOUNG.

Report of the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Political and Social Science for the Year Ending December 31, 1922

I. REVIEW OF THE ACADEMY'S

ACTIVITIES

YOUR Board is in the fortunate position

to present to you a most encouraging report on the activities of the Academy during the calendar year which has just come to a close. At no time in the history of our organization have the publications of the Academy exerted so far-reaching an influence on the thought and opinion of the country.

With each year the Academy is moving steadily towards the fulfillment of its larger mission as one of the real forces in the education of public opinion. The meetings of the Academy have been largely attended, and the sessions of the Annual Meeting attracted attention throughout the country.

The progress of the Academy's work and the extension of its influence has been due in large measure to the devoted and unselfish efforts of the Editorial Council under the able leadership of the Chairman of the Council-Dr. Clyde L. King-and the Board desires to take this opportunity to place on record the debt of obligation owing to Dr. King and his associates.

During the year the Academy has suffered the loss of one of its founders-Dr. Simon N. Patten, to whose guidance the Academy owes so much. A special memorial session was held under the auspices of the Academy to honor his memory.

Your Board has quietly continued the campaign for the establishment of an endowment fund. It is our purpose to raise such a fund through comparatively small contributions by the members of the Acad

During the year 1922 the Academy received 1,318 new members and 172 new subscriptions, or a total of 1,490. The Academy lost 68 members by death; 545 by resignation; and 192 delinquent members and 95 subscriptions were dropped. The present membership of the Academy is 6,979 members and 1,436 subscriptions, making a total of 8,415.

your

One of the which purposes Board has constantly kept in mind is the establishment of Academy centers throughout the country. We have not been able to put this larger plan into effect because of the fact that it will require not only a much more elaborate administrative organization than we at present possess, but will also call for the services of an executive director whose entire time and energy will be devoted to this special duty. As yet your Board has not been able to find a man adequately equipped to undertake this important task.

In conclusion your Board desires to express the hope that during the present year the Academy may have the more active cooperation of a larger percentage of our members. Occupying, as they do, influential positions in all sections of the country, such coöperation will add much to the influence and prestige of the Academy.

January 11, 1923. CHARLES J. RHOADS, ESQ., TREAS., American Academy of Political and Social Science, Philadelphia, Pa.
