power to elect alternates to I'LL any and
all vacancies in this committee.
g. That this committee of seven be in
structed to have provision made by the
joint committee in the new policy for the
American committee and the International
board which will not expire until after
the new organization is formed.
4. That local and state associations con-
tinuo their support to the American COM
mittee until such time as the articles Of
incorporation shall be given, up in order
to form new incorporated body
8. That we concur in the suggestion OF
the International board that Miss Grace
II. Dodge be chairman of the joint COM
mittee
Miss Grace Dodge has been unanimously
chosen to preside at this proposed con-
ference which will formulate a new con-
stitution to be ratified by the convention.
Both national organizations will give up
their old charters and incorporate under
the new.
There seems no doubt in the minds Of
those prominent in the work of both ma
tonal associations that the union under
the proposed recommendations will be ac-
complished without difficulty and that Miss
Dodge will be elected president of the new
association. It is a question, however,
whether all branches of work operated
| merged in the new organization. At pres
ent 1T is conducting several lines OF phil
| anthropic work such as homes for the
| aged and institutions of various kinds,
which do not come under the head of
| regular Young women's Christian associs-
| ton work. All the city associations. how
| ever carrying educational branches and
| doing such work as is carried on by the
| local association, for instance. will be in
cluded in the new organization. The
agreement just reached is most satsfac-
! tory to all concerned and the cordiality
with which both organizations have re-
| ceived and are supporting It is prophetic
Of greater results than have been accom-
plished in the past.
