1t is the aim of the meeting to con-
slider questions of practical value to
the country publisher. The members
of the Association have been asked to
bring with them to the meeting
samples of their job departments and
to be ready with suggestions concern
ing the topics to be discussed. Too

felt, are not conducted on business
basis, and the aim of the discussions is
to bring out ideas that will be helpful
to all
