Three associations have been able to
, secure larger and better equipped quar-
tiers. II was planned at tho Kccne con-
Nention to touch the smaller towns in the
TWO states whore no ASSOCIATE tons could be
organized and it was thought this could
b" best done by deputation work During
the summer ~ students volunteered five
weeks of their vacation for work i'm the
smaller towns under the leadership of the
State secretary. In this way 80 towns
were visited and a week spent i'm each

~ persons having profcssod Il start in
Christian life is made. The work was
really equal to the work OF one man for
two years or Of two men for one year
ASlue from this the services Of q bright
energetic man were secured for eleven
months Of the year at a small expense to
the state committee.
The convention at Bellows Falls the lat

number of towns calling for organizations
and there are also several colleges where
as yet there are no associations
In vermont there are seven aSsoca-
tons and but two of them occupy build
inss OF their own. In New Hampshire
there are eight only one of which has its
own building, aside from the Dartmouth
College association, which has "A building
Of its own. Just in this line there is much
work for the state committee to do and it
is proposed to appoint district committees
in different parts OF the State. 1t has
been decided by the State committee to
establish headquarters with an office sec
rotary at White River Junction.
The support of the state executive com
mittee comes in the most part from indi-
Vidual donors as well Us from the associa-
tous. Six contributors last year gave
500 each and seven $50 each, the rest gave

Mr.. Olandt is very hopeful of the out

they are well worth the expenditure OF
the $2iU0 along this line of work.
