by Percy MacKaye, given III the sta
dunn of City College, was the, focus
around. which the New York cele,
bration centered 1t was the first time

a new feature to be tried at this con-
yention. 1t will take the form of a
luncheon at which time reports will
| be given. This will afford an exchange
/ of problems and plans that should
prove of inestimible value.

press luncheon, where those interest
