. NOTICE. It was hoped that the proceedings at Chautauqua would be printed earlier than the proceedings are usually printed, but unforeseen delays have prevented this consummation so devoutly wished. The last paper forwarded to the Secretary did not reach him until December 4, and the last signature was placed in the hands of the binder December 22. If the readers of addresses would always hand to the Secretary their addresses just after reading them, carefully written, paragraphed, and punctuated, the annual volume could be distributed about the first of December. There have been printed 1000 copies of the proceedings, and in the whole edition are bound the proceedings of the Department of Superintendence in Washington, in February, 1880.
