trants fill their questionaFies. When the
first registration took place something
of the kind was attempted, but an at-
torney in each city did not take kindly
to this with the result that they were

4 central place in each city and an att
torney give a portion of his time regu-
larly TO the registration which would
give him a chance to do something in
his practice of law. Advanced CONNER
cial students could do the routine work
