Excerpt from Journal of Social Science, Vol. 43: Containing the Proceedings of the American Association

The American Social Science Association held its Forty-third General Meeting at Boston, Mass., beginning Thursday morning. May ii, and closing with the session of Saturday morning, May 13. The proceedings of the convention were carried on in Huntington Hall, which was kindly placed at the disposal of the Association by the Faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Little formal business was transacted at this meeting of the Association. It was deemed expedient to defer the consideration of the routine affairs of the Association until the meeting of the General Council early in the fall.

The absence of Secretary Root in Europe during the summer of 1905 has left the work of editing the Journal to be done, as it was for many years before 1899, by the former General Secretary, Mr. Sanborn. The material had been carefully collected by Mr. Root, and the task was a pleasant one, in view of the instructive character of the papers. No attempt was made to report the debates stenographically, and the abundance of papers read left less time than usual for discussion.

The editor in charge is struck, in looking over the long list of our publications, with the great variety of topics treated during the forty years' life of the Association and the high excellence of most of the papers. Adapted usually to the varying needs of the time, there are yet many which are of permanent importance, and which, if preserved in libraries, will be useful for reference in future years. It is therefore urged upon librarians, since the editions of the Journal are small, to secure copies of the series before they go out of print.
