Biennial Plans.


One of the committees Of the local
biennial board which cannot have the
advantage of preliminary work whereby
to gain Familiarity with the demands to
be made upon its members, is the con-
vention hall committee, of which Mrs.
Paul w. Doty is chairman. Seven bien-
malls have made plain the sore need for
this committee, with a chairman and
staff possessed of genius for meeting
emergencies at every turn. There are,
at the beginning of a convention a set
Of rules which the general and local
boards agree to. and which, in the main,
will keep the machinery running
smoothly, if observed. But they are
sure to create friction and embarrass-
ment in certain instances. They always
have. It is the responsibility of the
convention hall committee to see quick
Ey where a rule may be abrogated to re-
ieve undue pressure, without demoraliz-
ing the order of the assembly.
A rule has always prevailed that no
entrances or exits will be allowed dur
Ing an address or discussion. This is a
sane and reasonable rule on the whole,
but it has been enforced in times gone
by when it would have been much
more honored in the breach. A dis
nnguished guest or speaker, delayed by
, belated train, has beeen kept standing
In the corridor to the chagrin Of every
one in authority when the identity Of
the person was made known. A sick
woman has been prevented from leaving
hall when her staying created much
more Of a disturbance than her exit
Bould possibly have done. The conven-
eion hall committee was appointed by
the special request Of Mrs. Decker, who
Refined its duties in detail when she
was in st. Paul.
Cincinnati may send in an invitation
For the ninth biennial of the General
Federation Of Women's clubs, Of the
plan to have a permanent biennial
eity' is not adopted. Inquiry has come
from the Cincinnati commercial body as
to the earliest date at which an invi-
tation for the ninth biennial will be
considered.
If no permanent meeting place is
chosen, Cincinnati would stand more
than fair chance of securing the ninth
biennial, if the city showed a real de-
sire to have it.
