Ihe class in parliamentary law met yes
terday afternoon in Hasbrouck Hall. Miss
Fielde gave a review of the last lesson.
Prior to the lesson OF the day she distrib-
uted numbered slips of paper to some
of the ladies. Miss Fielde then took UP
subsidiary motions. She said subsidiary
motions are motiens that dispose of the
main question without voting on it. She
explained the difference between an as
sembly and a session. She then asked Mrs.
Walter Hilton to act as chairman, and
Mrs. Hannah Cairns to act as secretary.
After a great amount Of urging they con-
scented.
Now" said Miss Fielde, Twill the lady
with number one on her paper rise and
read it?"
Mrs. Brice Coliard rose and read:-"I
move that every family represented here
he requested to acquire a copy of Robin
son Crucoe."
Mrs George Hough rose and said
Madame Chairman, / second it."
Said Miss Fielde,' it is unnecessary to
say Madame Chairman when seconding a
motion"
Mrs. George w. Case rose and said
Miss Fielde. I want to say we didn't
hear back here How do do it?,
Say Madame Chairman, a questions of
privilege" said Miss Fielde. Madame
Chairman, a question Of privilege; we
didn't hear" SAID Mrs. Case.
Miss Hilton read the motion.
Madame Chairman, I rise to a question
of privilege. I did not hear" said Mrs.
| Scudder.
IF the ladies in the rear would come
up front they would have no difficulty In
hearing" said Miss FieIde, and she then
proceeded to give a short talk on the way
to speak so as to be heard.
Mrs. Hilton, prompted by Miss Ffe1de,
rose and said:--'It has been moved and
seconded that" and she gave the above
motion. She stood a while i~rresolutely,
then repeated after Miss Ffelde, ut is
open for debate" and sat down.
Miss Fdelde told Mrs. CoIard to make
the first speech on her motion. Mrs. Col
hard said she didn't know what to say.

you to be speaking so the lady with num-
Der two on her paper can interrupt you.
