The Board of Government has held eight meetings during the past fiscal year at which directions have been given for the many affairs necessary for the conduct of this Association. The Association appreciates the necessity of the co-operation of its members in every respect and invites suggestion and comment at all times from the members.

LIBRARY.

One of the functions of this organization, as stated in the Charter, is to collect a library on textiles, to which there have been contributions in the past. It is hoped that each member of the Association will contribute to this library a copy of any books on textiles which he may have written, and beyond that copies of other books on textiles will be gratefully received.

The library is in receipt of the following Transactions of Associations and periodicals:
