Mr. Underwood : I wish to congratulate the members of the 

 Ladies' Auxiliary upon the excellence of their program, and more 

 particularly congratulate the society upon having the ladies with us. 

 If we can have such practical papers as have been presented here 

 for us to consider, and have time to consider and digest them, I am 

 certain we could get many excellent ideas and suggestions we have 

 never thought of before. I only wish we had a whole day to con- 

 sider the papers we have listened to this afternoon. 



On motion of Mr. Philips the society adjourned.

The President : We have with us Mr. McMullen, the superin-
