 Mrs Boyd is a Georgian and has as- sisted in the founding of branch associa- tions in that state, where superb work is being done. She is a woman of bril- liant culture and charm. She is a grad uate of Vassar and later spent several years at Oxford in England. She is president general of the Southern Asso- citation of College Alumnae and vice pres 1dent of the Association of Collegeate Alumnae, which is a national organiza- ton. Mrs. Boyd hopes to arouse an~ inter- est in the work of the association here, and is certain of success. There are 10 i or 20 already known in the city as eligi- ble to membership and she said yes- terday that she feels sure there are others whose names she has not received.

West Virginia, Uni versity of Wisconsin and Agnes Scott col lege, which has just been admitted to the ranks. Four of these are southern, the rest northern, eastern and western.
 This is one of the most useful bodies in the south The members give their at- tention to things that count, and being women of excellent mental equipment, are capable of doing it in the most ex- pert way. In Georgia, where the asso- citation is widely known and admired, it has done much good in educational mat ters. "One of our objects" said Mrs. Boyd yesterday, '1s to increase the num- Der of girls who go to college. A great i deal of work is done in that way. Then we have interested ourselves in lessening illiteracy in the state. The child labor laws have also received their attention, and work in behalf of the physical bet terment of school children. In public school of our city," continued Mrs. Boyd, the children were all subjected to an ex- animation and it was found that 9S per cent needed attention. Weak eyes and weak lungs were found to be prevalent, and ever so many other troubles"
