REPORT OF THE ACTING SECRETARY, 



comparison with the last report it will he ohserved that there was an increase 

 over the present year of 6,368 packages received from ahroad for United 

 States Government institutions, while the number of pac'kages sent abroad 

 by this Government was only 1,808 more than during last year. As the total 

 number of packages received from other countries is by no means as large 

 as those sent Dy the United States, it is most gratifying to note this substan- 

 tial increase in the fruits of the exchange system to our Government 

 establishments.
