    time and energy of the officers of the Association, who would welcome relief from these self-imposed tasks. An endowment plan, with a paid secretary, would spell a wonderful progress not only for this Association in its promo- tion of hundreds of new Milk Commissions, but the spread of the gospel of clean milk in thousands of communities in our land. This fact is doubly assured in that the federal authori- ties stand ready to lend their co-operation in the promotion of this work. The Dairy Divisions of the various states which have been appealed to by the Milk Commissions have shown this same disposition. Were these offices all lending their assistance in intelligent co-operation, directed through this Association, their power for the betterment of the milk supply of our cities would be overwhelming. Much has been said of the gain that this Association has made in the past year. It is difficult to express the loss we have suffered through the death of Dr. Leonard Pearson, Dean of the Veterinary College of the University of Pennsylvania, which occured September 20, 1909. Dr. Pearson was one of the pioneers in this field of activity, and was devoted to the work of this Association. His influence in his own state was very great, and his contributions to the problems of bovine tuberculosis will long be looked upon as authoritative. He did us a great honor by his co-operation, and his loss to us is a great one. OTTO P. GKIER, Secretary.
