Abstract :
The Institute meeting at Los Angeles, April 25–28 was not only well attended, but was characteristic of the Pacific coast, by reason of the perfect arrangements, and the enthusiasm and good fellowship which prevailed. A year had elapsed since the San Francisco meeting, and consequently ample time was allowed for making adequate preparations. Notwithstanding the distance, the Atlantic states were fairly represented. Secretary Pope arrived at Los Angeles on May 24 and remained until May 29. He went by the Southern Pacific route in order to meet the members of Atlanta Section, making stops also at Birmingham and New Orleans.
