1. Analysis of interest questionnaires: This is one important use of the questionnaire described earlier. In counting the votes for questions checked or listed by the men, it will be helpful to rearrange them in the order of preference as indicated by the number of votes received by each. The leader can thus get a rough idea of the general interest of his group. The specific subjects preferred will help him determine whether, in the main, the men are interested in current war or in post-war questions, whether they want to discuss subjects of military, international, national, community, or personal import. An analysis of this sort will be helpful also to a program committee. In using the analysis it is not necessary for the leader or his committee, if he has one, to choose those subjects which have the largest number of votes. The data from the questionnaire may be used rather as a guide to the range of interest they display.

2. Program committee: It has already been stressed that interest may be stimulated by using an organizing committee. If a committee is used, the best way to make it effective is to give it the specific job of planning the program. The members can examine the data secured by the leader from interest questionnaires and can add their own ideas about the preferences of men who are likely to attend the meetings. If the committee is called together early, it can assist in the preparation of the questionnaire. The committee can also determine what use shall be made of experts; what experts may be available; whether to plan small and informal discussion groups, larger forums, or panel discussions; when and where the meetings will be be help; whether single meetings or a series
