Abstract

BY the time this issue reaches the reader the British Association will be in full session, and meanwhile there seems to be every prospect of an unusually successful meeting. Dundee is a town of comparatively small population, largely made up of the working classes, but the number of persons resident in the town and neighbourhood who have joined the Association is remarkable. The various towns in which the Association meets are found to differ greatly in this respect, and it occasionally happens that the number of local associates is exceedingly small. Since the year 1901 the Association has held its annual meetings on two occasions abroad and on nine occasions at places within the United Kingdom. The average number of tickets sold at these nine centres before the opening of the reception rooms is 460, and the highest number so sold at any one of the nine was 643; but considerably more than 1100 tickets had already been sold in Dundee by the local committee before the opening of the reception rooms, and by Tuesday evening some 2000 tickets were issued.
