CORRESPONDENCE. 
October number of the Review were timely and I trust you 
will give further editorial consideration to this subject. 
the future course of the Association should be well under¬ 
stood by applicants for membership, and if its work is to be di- 
rected along purely educational and sanitary lines, the great 
body of the present membership will feel as though it related to 
eir labors indirectly. They will continue to withdraw or 
drop out realizing their more immediate interests will be better 
su 'served through local and State organizations. The United 
States, or more properly the American Medical Association, has 
a very much larger membership than the U. S. V. M. A., and it 
successfully conducts its meetings by holding general sessions 
ch interest all its members for one part of the day, and 
special sessions during another part of the day in sections for 
the seveial divisions or special phases of medical practice, and 
ere is no good reason why our Association cannot profit bv 
the experience of the A. M. A. Their membership is made up 
of individuals distributed throughout the United States just the 
same as ours. Editorial in the November Jour, of Comp. Med., 
p. 788 alluding to this matter is along the right line, but the 
subject is worthy of much fuller discussion. I am fully per¬ 
suaded that the best interests of the profession in general, and 
our Association in particular, will be subserved by keepino- all 
hues of veterinary interest within the one fold. This cannot be 
done if one particular line is allowed to monopolize the major 
portion of time and energy. What think you of makino- the 
sessions general during the forenoons of each day, or perhaps the 
second and third days, and sectional during the afternoon I 
trust you will encourage discussion along this line, 
I ! he Review thanks Secretary Stewart for his free expres- 
sions upon this subject and invites like communications from 
others of the workers and thinkers, feeling assured that a full 
discussion of the important subject can but result in good to the 
profession and the Association.]
