 The report of the secretary, Mrs. Clarence B. Bolmer, was as follows TO the Officers and Members of the
 Corporation and Board of Managers
 of the Florence Crittenton Mission of
 New Haven:
 Tn reviewing the work done in the year 1908 by the Florence Crittenton mission and it's board of managers, the secretary finds most encouraging evil dence of growth in the work and gain in public interest and aid. The most convincing evidence of our growth in the past year Is in the fact of our hav- ing become 8 corporation, thus placing our work on a firm business basis, q most important factor for us. As q proof of our having gained the public interest and confidence, we cite the in- terest taken in our work by MT. Pres ton and Judge Mathewson, each of whom thoroughly approves of the hon or system as used in our home and recognizes the good results accruing from it's use.
 As evidence of these results the home has received during the past year $115 from it's old girls, who have given this money out of their own earnings, a gift which few if any of the other Florence Crttenton missions have re- ceived from their oirls.
 At the beginning of the year 1906 there were twenty-two churches that were represented on our board. Dur ing the past twelve months Mrs. Mar ion Ford, who attended Christ church and was most interested in our work, was taken seriously III and has been obliged to withdraw her aid. Mrs. Ed ward M. Bradley was elected as CO., worker with Mrs. S J. Fox at the Calvary Baptist church, and Mrs. Cy- rus w Kellogg was elected collector for Davenport, instead of Mrs F. w. Pardee, whose interest in the welfare of the home remains the same, all though she is unable to take any ac- tive part in the work. The gracious presence and genial smile of our first vice president has long been missed at the monthly meetings, and the heart felt sympathy of the entire board has been hers during the protracted illness which she has endured.
 We have held ten meetings during the year and have had an average at tendance of sixteen members.
 The following is a list of the churches and names of the ladies who have so kindly given their time and energy in collecting contributions for 1906:
