Mr. BOWKER: Let us remember "kindness in another's trouble" and that even a closer bond than the common work in our profession, is the bond of sympathy in time of loss.
I move, in view of the partial destruction of the public library at Regina and the great catastrophe that has come to her people, that the president of the American Library Association be authorized and requested to send the sympathy of this conference to the public library and the people of Regina.
The motion was agreed to unanimously, and the message ordered sent.
Adjourned.
FIFTH GENERAL SESSION
(Russell Theatre, Monday, July 1, 8:30 p. m.)
President Elmendorf occupied the chair.
The SECRETARY: It was our hope that Dr. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education, would be with us at this conference, but he was unable to come and so sends us this greeting:
Mrs. H. L. Elmendorf, President, American Library Association, Ottawa.
"Convey to association my greetings and best wishes for successful meeting.
P. P. CLAXTON."
