ference on Parliamentary usages,
incidentally paying a high compli-
ment to the Independent Order of
Good Templars, as the most per-
fectly organized and orderly Tenn
perance organization in the coun-
try.
After discussing the subject gem
orally, the Chair called on Mrs. l.
H. Johnson to conduct
NORMAL Glass DRILL ON PARLIA-
MENTARY UsAGEs.
Mrs. Johnson, after explaining
that she had had but few min
utes notice of this task, proceeded
with the drill, in the form of ques-
tions to the members, of which the
following are noted, with the an
swers:
Question. How does a member
obtain the floor2
Aqas,oer. By rising, addressing
the Chair, and waiting till recog-
nized.
Q. When two or more are on
the floor at once, who should be re-
cognized?
Ans. Mrs. Cadwallader, by re-
quest. The first who rises and ad.
dresses the Chair. If | cannot de.
eide, I would seat them all.
Mrs. Buell-A good presiding of
fcer will be fair to members not
well posted in Parliamentary
usages, and prevent bright tacti
clans from getting advantage.
@, What is the form of putting
a motion?
Ans. Mrs. Best-The member
rising and addressing the Chair
says, II move" &c.
@, In the absence Of special
rules, how many times can mem
bers speak to the same question?

wanting the floor.
@. By Mrs. L. Fl. Tilton, W ash
ington, D. C.-Can recognition bt
secured in advance by private con
ference with the Chair?
Ans. Certainly not. Such con

"Why couldn't we do so and SO p
what shall the Chair do?
An8. Mrs. Porter, of New Cum
berland, w. Va.-She may eithel

Mrs. Buell-In local Unions, anC
