down the ringing groove Of change,
new views come within our field of
vision, and new duties knock at our
door.
The next few months are to be busy
ones with US. The meeting at Law

of a year in itself, and viii bring large
numbers Of club women from the four
quarters Of our great state to our
Athens. Many who might not other
wise come to the meeting this year, viii
come because Of children who are in
the university OF to become acquainted
with the institution with view to
sending their children there later on,
