CHAPTER XX.

SEVENTH DRILL, ILLUSTRATING AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS, AND NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES.

[This is the next regular meeting of the Community Betterment Society held after the one described in the previous drill. In this drill it is assumed that all motions are seconded, and that all motions that are adopted or lost were previously stated and put. The drill begins just as Unfinished Business and General Orders are to be taken up.]

President. Unfinished business is now in order. At the last meeting notice was given of a proposed Amendment to the by-laws which the secretary will now read.

Secretary [standing, reads the proposed amendment slowly and distinctly so that it may be heard by every one]:

Proposed Amendment to the By-laws.

Substitute for Section 3, Art. VI, the following sections:

"Sec. 3. Regular meetings of the society shall be held on the first and third Thursdays of the month except from June i to Oct. I.

"Sec. 4. Special meetings may be called by the President or by ten members."

Leroy Harvey
Charles Hancock.

[The secretary hands the paper to the president and resumes his seat.]
