This article, titled "On Conducting Meetings With Ease and Authority," discusses various books on parliamentary procedure and group dynamics. The author emphasizes the importance of effective communication and decision-making in democratic societies. The article compares two books on parliamentary procedure, noting that one is more technical and ritualistic while the other is simpler and more functional. Additionally, the article discusses a book on group dynamics, which presents new techniques for facilitating discussion and decision-making in meetings. The author suggests that these techniques may eventually replace formal debate in some situations. However, the need for parliamentary rules for formal action will still remain.
