whose meetings I was able to attend. The meetings were all of them well attended, and interesting programs were presented. At the fall meetings I suggested to the different societies the desirability of the profession informing itself on health insurance, a subject which then seemed likely to be brought up at the present session of the legislature. At the spring meetings in the rural counties the question of hospital centers and medical service in the remoter rural districts was brought up. At the meeting of the Litchfield County Association an informal but interesting discussion of these matters resulted. The meeting of the New Haven County Association was held later than usual in order that the members might inspect the new private pavilion of Grace Hospital, New Haven. The authorities of the hospital generously furnished the association with a meeting place and an excellent dinner. In conclusion, I wish once more to thank the profession through you, its representatives, for the honor you have conferred upon me, and to express my appreciation of the hearty co-operation received from the officers of the Society and its several Committees. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE BLUMER, President. Voted, to accept the report and place it on file. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. DR. CHARLES W. COMFORT, JR., New Haven.
