Abstract
IT is the general feeling of those who attended this Congress (which extended from July 24 to 30) that it has been a complete success. A membership of about 750 is an indication of the widespread interest taken in the subject, though an analysis of motives might reveal that the largeness of the number is partly due to other causes. In particular it can scarcely be doubted that the series of brilliant entertainments organised by the hospitality committee, under the secretaryship of Mrs. Alec Tweedie, was a bait which attracted many.
