SECRETARY Summer Meeting In Interior Building The Department of Visual Instruction has been especially fortunate in securing the beautiful audi- torium of the Interior Building for the afternoon sessions of the annual meeting in Washintgon, I). n |ul\ 2 and 3, 1934. The auditorium is ideal For the meeting in several weeks. Perhaps the chief advantage is thai it is less than a block from the Washington Auditorium, in which the general ses- sions of the X. K A. arc to be held and in which the exhibits will be on display. The Interior auditorium is equipped for all types of projection and may be darkened thoroughly. Furthermore it is one of the coolest meeting rooms in Washington. Another worthwhile feature is that the >eats are comfortable and well arranged. The Interior Building is just across the street from the All States Hotel, at which the dinner and luncheon meetings are to he held. Convenience has been the keynote of all arrangements.
