First Meeting West of Chicago
The present convention is the first
that the association has held west of
Chicago. And when the ladies gather
ed in the Windy City five years ago
they numbered no more than 500 or
less than one-third of the current en-
rollment. 1t is in the East and es-
peclally in the states of New York,
pennsylvania and Ohio, that the asso-
citation has established so far the major
part of its subordinate branches. They
are found, nevertheless, in all the larger
cities of the East. In Chicago they
number Seventy-fve, and in few
other cities they equal or exceed 100.
Rapid as has been the growth of the
association, many more recruits would
have been easily obtained but for the
absence of regular organizers. Hence
an effort will be made at the present
convention to secure authority for the
appointment of one organizer in each
state. When such officers, devoting
themselves to the work, begin to Gull
tlvate their respective fields. it is ex-
pected new branches in great number
Will spring up in Minnesota and
throughout the West.
