81, 1925, leaving a deficit of SO, 3S5 27.
Mrs. Maxwell OF Kentucky, objected TO
the change OF name as confusing Mrs
Jewett moved that the report of the maya
zine committee be adopted, exclusive of
the change of name.
Mrs. McGee explained that the purpose
was Co have Il name with more meaning
Mrs. Lockwood said it had been sug-
gested that To assume the name OF Maya
zine of American History might get them
into trouble as the name might be COPY
righted. Mrs. Jewett's motion was then
carried. The report OF the business man
ager was also adopted
Mrs. Mclean said she was supporter
Of the magazine and did not propose 20
move its suspension, but as they paid over
$3, 900 year for the magazine she sked
that the reports of meetings, etc, should
be published accurately. She moved that
the reports of meetings be published ac-
cu1ately and fully and the expenses cur
tailed.
Mrs. Shields, regent at st. Louis, said
she had from the fist wanted the reports
OF meetings sent to all members With that
in view she had been the first to move
for such publication. But as fliend OF
the magazine, and its editor She wished
that the size and price be limited and the
magazine made more useful. She wanted
the extravaganza OF the publication CON
sidered.
Mrs. Boynton said it was certainly de-
sirable that reports of the proceedings OF
the Eoard OF managers should reach all
delegates. But it would not he a wise
thing TO publish full report of everything
that was said. She had heard that at
meeting OF the Sons of the Revolution in
the West gentleman who had been
called on to furnish some amusement had
chosen as the means of it a IeEoIt of the
proceedings Of the Daughters. Certainly il
might afford amusement II everything
should tie printed in full i'll the magazine
For this reason Mrs. Boynton III owed that
full rcEoTts of such meetings as ought to
so to tie whole membership be published
in leafiet form ana sent with uncut edges
to the chapters, to be there distributed
according 10 the judgme ent OF officers. The
proceedings of meetings need not then lie
published in the Magazine.
Mrs. Ballinger pointed out that the sub
scrIption list of the Magazine was only
$500. at il cost of nearly $6, ZOO year.
while the membership was nearly 5000
She thought the members ought To sub
scribe for the magazine if they wanted t.
support it.
Mrs. White, Of New York, said she had
taken the magazine since joining the so
ciety, year ago, and always read it. The
thing to do was to make Il better, If IL
was not good enough. 1t should not be
discontinued.
Mrs. McGee said there were many
members not able to take he magazine
They ought 10 be Informed, however, OF
the transactions of the board.
Mrs. DiCkins said those who read the
magazine appreciate IT, They were not
numerous The others ought to be kept
| informed also.
Miss johnson said the chief critics Of
| the magazine were those W no never read
| it. She agreed that many things in the
| discussions ought not to be made public
| Mrs Lockwood called attention To the
| fact that whatever they published would
| get into the papers, if the papers wanted
| it. no matter how hard they tried To keep
it quiet. The facts became known even
| when never printed at all.
Finally. upon motion of Mrs. Balin ger,
| the matter was postponed till Thursday
| night. Immediately after this a vote WAS
| taken. by which Mrs. McIean's motion
| as amended by Mrs. Boynton was ap-
| parently adopted, but upon Adjournment
| the effect of this last action was left in
| doubt.
The report OF the finance committee
| stated that expenses had been heavier than
| ever before Nevertheless, So. .46S7 75 has
| been invested in government bonds. The
| cash to the credit of the permanent fund
was at one time S2.556 Sc, and it was
| invested in "a real estate note of John II
| Walter. on May 8, 1896, payable in three
| years at per cent. 1t had beeu directed
that two 81 900 United States bonds be
| transferred to the current fund and the
| treasurer general be authorized &c invest
! this money and that already i'll bank in
| real estate note: but no investment has
! yet been made. beCa use there has hot
| been time. The report was signed by Vir-
| ginia Miller. chairman; Rose F. Brackett.
Bell NJ Draper. Elizabeth I. Bullock, and
| Marguerite Dickins.

| of the constitution is expected to come
