works away trying to bring the CLUBS INTO
communication with one another; who
never loses sight of the broad principles
of the general federation, that unity IN
diversity which has been and always
will be the foundation upon which this
grand organization of women throughout
the length and breadth of the world rests.
Because the labors are now shared in
many places with the state president does

clerk, has outlived her usefulness?
Granting that the state president ls the
logical representative of her state in the
national body, is she. or can she ever be,
the best representative of the national in
the state? The state chairman to-day
has a place to fill as of. old. and though
she no longer stands as the most direct
representative of the state in the general
federation, she is the one officer who
must always stand for the best interests
of the general federation in the state or

We are indebted to Mrs. ]. Lindsay

Federation, for copy of the yearbook
OF that organization for lS9S-1Ss9. The
BOOK IS interesting, giving suggestions for
work to the clubs and the reports of the
various standing committees. The com
mittee on education is divided into three
sections-the industrial section. home sci
ence section and child study section. In
| addition there are committees on law,
programme reform, press, library. rec-
