 appointed. Delegates are earnestly requested to be in their places punctually.

 their names to the Chair at the beginning of each new discussion ; and it is

 what is said. 
 
 10. Delegates will notice that the pages of the Verbatim Report of last 
 year are given in the Agenda, where reports of the discussions are given on 
 subjects which come up again this year. It will be very helpful if delegates 
 will refer to these discussions, and if possible, come provided with a co^.y of the 
 Verbatim Report so that needless discussion may not be repeated, in order 
 that continuity in our work may be encouraged.

 reiurn ticket for a third of the usual fare, on presentation of the certificate

 comfortable luncheon to be available daily for the delegates at 25 cents each,
