IIeSlueH6 Oelng necessary before
the Treasurer pays out any money.
The duty of the Treasurer of an
is not simply to keep
a strict account of the money, but
she should look out and see where
there is a chance to add to the
money.
The idea is net to have balance
in the Treasury, at the end of the
year, but to have an account of
money spent and work accomplish
ec. Let every Treasurer remember
to have her vouchers for money
paid out, as much trouble is saved
thereby. Every Treasurer ought
to have an auditor.
Let each Treasurer feel it duty
to devise ways and means of raising
money, not by begging it, but by
some entertainment by which the
public can receive an equivalent
for the money given.
In defining the duties of Super
intendents of Departments, Mrs.
Buell. said the Superinte ndent of a
Department should study the best
plan of doing the work Of her de-
partment. While she did not wait
for other people to lay plans for
her, she should be ready and will
ing to receive suggestions from any
and every source.
QUESTION BOX.
The question was asked, what
are the necessary appliances of a
President of local Union ?"
Mrs. Buell. answered-The first
thing, the Union Signal. No wo-
man cen do the best work, either
in her own State or local Union,
unless she reads and keeps up to
the demands of these times.
She also stated her belief in State
papers, and said she considered it
the duty of every West Virginia
woman to read and digest her State
paper, the West Virginia FREEMAN.
She insisted that every woman
read and study the "Pathfnder," and
take it as chart for her guidance.
She suggested that every woman
have table, even if it is a small
one, that is to be devoted to Tenn
peranee work, and that it be pro-
vided with all necessary things for
the work.
All local presidents should be
provided with necessary articles by
the Union, if need be.
Mrs. johnson referred to the
value of marking articles in
the papers we send
out to cur friends, as in that way
we attract their attention to them
-alse the value of a circulating
Temperance Library.
Mrs. Buell. added word in favor
of the Loan Library, and told of the
way ia which persons would read
things in which they were not in
terested, if the books were loaaed
them and the request made that
they be read.
Other questions were asked ana
answered of which no notes were
preserved.
DISCUSSION ON JUVENILE WORK.
Reports from Bands OF Hope were
next in order.
Charleston reported through Mrs.
w. l.. Moore, a Baud recently or
ganized-mena bers, "a.
Mrs. Buell. was asked for some
suggestions as to teaching Bands
of Hope. She thoughG best to d.
vide the school into classes, devot-
ing the first fifteen minutes to
opening exercises. having all the
Band together. Let the devotional
exercises consist of Scripture Read
ing, REGULATIONS, Singing, and
short Prayer.
Then for the next fifteen min
utes, let the teachers take charge of
the classes just as they do in Sun
day Schools, but always have short
lessons-a few truths well learned
always being better than to at
tempt to teach great number.
Then let the last fifteen min
utes be spent in singing or in chalk
of the lesson, on the
black board. or what is better, q
