The rooms will be available to members at most favorable prices. Rooms in hotels will range between the following rates: one bed, 5 to 12 kronor (about $1.25 to $3.00); two beds, 8 to 23 kronor (about $2.00 to $5.75), with about double these prices if a private bath is wanted. A number of rooms can be had in boarding houses or private families for from about 4 kronor ($1.00) up. Breakfast is not included in any of these prices. This will, as a rule, cost about 1 kronor (25–27 cents, according to the rate of exchange).Those members who wish to avail themselves of the Congress Bureau in obtaining rooms should make application to the Secretary-General, stating the number of beds, the price, and whether or not private baths are wanted.Early registration and requests for accommodations will greatly facilitate the work of the Central Committee.The Central Committee in Stockholm, of which Dr. Gösta Forssell is President and Dr. Axel Renander Secretary-General, has appointed the following American Committee to have charge of arrangements for the participation of the United States and Canada in the proceedings of the Congress: Dr. George E. Pfahler, Dr. Preston M. Hickey, Dr. Leopold Jaches, Dr. George W. Holmes, Dr. Edwin C. Ernst, Dr. Albert Soiland, and Dr. A. C. Christie.
