CHAPTER VIII.
THIRD DRILL, ILLUSTRATING CHAPTER VII.
Commit or Refer.
[This is another meeting of the Parliamentary Law Class. It is assumed that the previous drills are mastered, and therefore nothing is said about the position of the chairman, whether sitting or standing, or about obtaining the floor, unless there is something peculiar calling for attention. The instructor appoints a chairman and a secretary. The secretary keeps a memorandum of the motions made and their disposition without attempting to put his record in the form of minutes. He should be able, however, to furnish the exact words of every main motion and amendment.]
Chairman. The meeting will come to order. [As soon as all are seated and quiet, he says:] Business is now in order.
Mr. A. I move "that a committee be appointed to investigate the ventilating system of the High School." [Seconded.]

Mr. B [rising and interrupting]. Mr. Chairman. [As soon as he catches the chairman's eye, he continues:] I rise to a point of order.
Chairman. The gentleman will state his point.
