COMMITTEE ON STATUS OF PHARMACISTS IN THE ARMY, NAVY, AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE OF THE DELEGATES TO THE SECTION ON PHARMACOLOGY OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. J. P. REMINGTON (Chairman) M. I. WILBERT, Philadelphia, Pa. Philadelphia, Pa. HENRY KRAEMER, Philadelphia, Pa. The third annual meeting of this Association was held in the city of Indianapolis, Ind., September 4th to 6th, 1906, at the time of meeting of the American Pharinaceutical Association. Five sessions were devoted to the transaction of business, and a joint meeting with the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties was held. The membership of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy at present is constituted as follows: Active membership is accorded such State or Territorial Boards of Pharmacy as are able under present laws to exchange certificates of registration. Associate membership is accorded such State or Territorial Boards of Pharmacy as under present laws are not permitted to exchange certificates of registration. Representatives from nearly all of the above Boards were present at this meeting, and took an active part in the deliberations. The meeting was also attended by a number of representatives of Boards not members of the National Association. President I. A. Keith, of the South Dakota Board of Pharmacy, presided at each session. His address embodied many valuable suggestions and recommendations, and received the approval of the Association. The early sessions were devoted, in the main, to the transaction of routine business, such as reading of minutes, reports of standing committees, appointment of special committees, etc. Later sessions were devoted chiefly to new business, and among the many matters forming subjects for discussion the following will perhaps prove of interest: (a) In the matter of pharmacists serving in the United States Navy and in the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service action was taken as follows: "The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy recommends to the various State Boards which interchange certificates the recognition of the pharmacists of the United States Navy and the Public Health and Marine Hospital service, as entitled to receive an interchange of registration certificates, in the same manner as is followed by the various States." (b) In the matter of providing for interchange of certificates of registration, action was taken as follows: "That the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy recommend to the Boards constituting its membership the practice of interchange of certificates of registration, whenever permitted by existing laws. Furthermore, that in the case of such States whose laws do not permit interchange, an endeavor be made to secure amendments to existing laws authorizing exchange." (c) In the matter of seeking establishment of a more uniform method of examination of candidates, on part of the several Boards of Pharmacy, action was taken as follows: "That there be elected annually five members of this Association to serve on a committee, whose duty it shall be to prepare and submit to the several constituent Boards a set of questions covering the several branches in which candidates for the degree of Licensed Pharmacist are usually examined. Such questions to be regarded merely in the light of a suggestion." (d) In the matter of participating in the deliberations of the so-called "Syllabus Committee," action was taken as follows: "That the chair appoint a member of the Association to serve as its representative, and to act in conjunction with other members of the committee. The chair subsequently appointed Mr. William Bodemann, of Illinois." (e) In the matter of recommendations to Boards of Pharmacy, adopted by the American Pharmaceutical Association and by the joint conference of Boards and Schools of Pharmacy, action was taken as follows: 66 Recommendation No. 1. Adopted without change. Amended to read 18 years, instead of 21 years, as consti "Recommendation No. 2. tuting the proper age for granting license as assistant pharmacist. "Recommendation No. 5. "Recommendation No. 6. Amended by striking out all reference in the matter of allowing credit for successfully completed courses in approved pharmaceutical schools. "Recommendation No. 7. Amended by striking out all reference to high school work, and inserting in place 'grammar school graduation.' 66 Recommendation No. 8. "Recommendation No. 9. "Recommendation No. 10. "Recommendation No. II. this conference.' Adopted without change. Amended by striking out the words 'by a committee of Tabled. Adopted without change." 66 Recommendation No. 12. "Recommendation No. 13. While, as will be noted, the Boards failed to ratify each and every recommendation submitted, the gulf between the Boards and Faculties is not nearly as wide as it was expected to be. In fact it can truly be said that this discussion has been productive of much good in more ways than one. It certainly has sharply defined the points of difference between the two bodies, both of which, as must be admitted, are animated by an honest desire to better and elevate the profession of pharmacy. It is therefore reasonable to hope that in the very near future all differences of opinion will cease to exist. While the original purpose of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy was the establishment of an interchange of certificates of registration between the several Boards, it soon became apparent that such interchange could not be established without more uniformity in the matter of examination of the applicant for license. Therefore the question of educational requirements to be imposed upon a candidate prior to admission to examination demands its share of attention. OFFICERS FOR 1906-1907. President, F. C.
