they may be embraced, while the transportation companies have 
made the cost of the trip from all points at the minimum, largely 
due to the low rates existing to the great exposition now in 
progress in the convention city. We have been exhorting onr 
brethren for the past two or three months to “ Get ready for 
Nashville,” and, sounding the same call again, we feel sure that 
those who can avail themselves of the opportunity to learn 
mneh, see much, and enjoy much, will never regret the time 
taken for the duty and the diversion. 
STATE BOARDS OF VETERINARY EXAMINERS. 
In all probability there will be present at the thirty-fourth 
annual meeting of the United States Veterinary Medical Asso¬ 
ciation, which convenes in Nashville, Tenn., September 7th, 
8th, and 9th, one or more representatives of every veterinary 
medical examining board in the United States. During the 
session of the association there will occur the fourth annual 
meeting of the Association of Veterinary Faculties of North 
America. At the last meeting of the latter organization earnest 
discussion of the subject of reciprocity between the various 
State boards of examiners was indiilofed in, resnltingf in the 
appointment of a committee to further sueh ends. Since then 
the Review (the editors of which constitute one of the com¬ 
mittee) has agitated the matter in two of its issues, and has done 
what it could to keep the question alive before the profession. 
It now offers this suggestion to the Association of Faculties : 
Would it not be well, and in furtherance of the desired object, 
to invite all representatives of such boards to attend the meeting 
of the Faculties during the disenssion of the subject of uniform¬ 
ity and recognition between the boards of the different states, 
so that views might be intermingled and something tangible and 
practical arrived at, whereby reciprocity could be secured in 
reality as well as in theory ? 
If forced to remain away from Nashville, yon will find a 
full account of the meeting in the October Review.
