Voted, That the secretaries of societies be required to cer- 

 tify to the holding of the three institutes required l)y the 

 Board each year on blanks to be furnished by the secretary. 



To aid in carrying out the spirit of former requirements 

 of the Board in relation to institutes, the executive com- 

 mittee instructed the secretary to print in pamphlet form the 

 requirements of the Board relative to the holding of insti- 

 tutes, and include therewith a list of speakers and subjects 

 available for institute work, and send copies to officers of 

 societies and institute committees, with the request that they 

 select subjects, speakers and dates for the three institutes 

 required by the Board, and notify the secretary of the Board 

 as early as possible, that he may have sufficient time to ar- 

 range with the speakers chosen.
