Possibly the unusual activity this year is due to peculiar causes; but whatever the reason, the other foreign societies will do well to follow this plan, and endeavor to be really representative of the countries for which they stand.

They should feel, however, that they owe a duty which must be conscientiously performed before they consider their own inclinations. They should endeavor to seat everyone as promptly as courtesy allows and to keep the aisles free at all times. No matter what arrangements may be made beforehand, the success of the ushering depends upon the co-operation of each individual usher. Without this, supervision is practically worthless...
