| with view of reducing their cost"
Il points out that the maintenance OF
the organization is becoming a mat
ter for serious thought. The editorial
holds that because of the big attend
ance. the conventions are becoming
too unwieldly to handle the business
with n rush or in a manner that pro-
notes the best interests OF the whole
membership. 1t is explained that such
a large body cannot be expected TO
deliberate without more or less fric-
tion and waste of time and money.
The method OF adjusting scale in
scale years is characterized as clumsy
and costly. and It is suggested that
the same results could be obtained by
adopting more modern methods.
