While your committee realizes that there may be many 

 circumstances which may cut down the attendance at these 

 meetings at times, and that often criticism may be unjust, 

 still, it cannot but feel that a society where the attendance 

 habitually falls below 50 does not take the proper interest in 

 the work, and is not making the use of its opportunities 

 which the State has a right to expect.
