, Nevada, and Utah. Meetings
will be held monthly, and lectures and exhibitions arranged in
co-operation with the parent body in New York. As soon as this chapter
has begun active work, another will be opened in the New England and
Middle West States, modeled after the California chapter. In this way the
Association hopes to be of national service in the advancement of
photography on educational lines, and it asks the sympathy of the public
as well as that of every worker of the camera in America.

Among other of its plans are: honoring those who have given valued service
to photography; the formation of a library; the establishment of a home
headquarters; the distribution of knowledge tending toward the making of
better catalogues; the art of hanging pictures so that their individual
beauty may be enhanced; the application of the motion picture to pictorial
expression; the recommendation of books on the development of the
individual, as well as others relating to the study of contemporary arts,
so that, through an acquaintance with all these, there may be brought to
the student a new and an individual approach in his photographic work.

The Association holds monthly meetings at the National Arts Club, 119 East
19th Street, New York, where exhibitions and lectures are given.
Admission is free. The Association now publishes its first annual
"Pictorial Photography in America," which comprises the work of important
pictorialists in this country, whether or not members of the Association.
And in following out so broad a plan the Association has demonstrated to
its friends that its main interests lie in the presentation of fine work,
little caring who the individual may be. As soon as the world has resumed
its normal stride, the Association will extend invitations for an
exhibition of foreign work to be shown in America. In turn, the
Association will be glad to send an exhibition of American work abroad to
those who desire to see, more intimately than we are able to do by the
process of reproduction, what American pictorialists are doing. In
another volume we hope to present the work of foreign pictorialists.

Plans are now being made whereby the original prints selected for this
Annual will be exhibited, under the direction of the American Federation
of Arts, in the galleries of many art museums throughout the country.

Herewith we list the names of the present officers and executive members
of the Association, as
