The Government Printing Office finished a monumental book bound in sheep skin and Russia leather. It measures one foot four inches wide, contains 10,000 pages, and weighs 140 pounds.

Erastus Brooks of New York elected permanent chairman with Dr. J. N. McCormack of Kentucky as secretary. Next meeting set for St. Louis in October.
