ARRANGED luncheon at the Simon
hotel, October IL, when plans were
discussed for organization and full
filment. /.
To my beloved native state Of IL
linois could give only one day on
account Of the serious press corre-
spondence awaiting my return from
the strenuous weeks.
am glad, in referring to my native
state, to take this opportunity of cor
recting statement in one of the
club papers referring to the native
state of the vice presidents of Illi-
/ nois. One was Lorn il Indiana, and
lis living in the Ear W ost; the other
was born in New York, and is now
living in Illinois.
1t has been everywhere distinct
qualification to listen to the reports
of the Boston biennial. Sincere APP
probation Of the efforts of the work
ing force of the entire state of Mas
sachusetts, and especially of the hum
dreds of local members, has been
voiced publicly and privately, always
ending with the words: What a
good time we had bulletin.
NOT IN TOUCH.
Ecoes is not in touch with the
club work this year to any extent that
insures success. One potent reason
is that the editor has been indisposed
and could not do her part. She is
now ready for action, but lacks neces-
sary information because of unavoid-
able delay with state and district year
books. The most important is to |
know who has been appointed chair
men OF committees, both state and |
district, next we would like to know
the name of the president of each
federated club in the state. Mrs.
Ford rendered valuable assistance
last year because it was her second
year as state secretary and she had
much information at hand, our pres
ent secretary has not been serving in
this capacity long enough to know
these things. Then we want report
from each club telling all about the
outline Of work for the year and how
they are succeeding with it. What
state and district work is of special
interest. Mrs. Bowerman makes a
strong plea for forestry in this issue
md for the state scholarship fund.
Has your club taken up either? What

Improvement, or educational or lib
airy work. Such information as this I.
will be of value to Mrs. Forney and
he district presidents. We consider
he best work accomplished last club
ear was during the first four months
# the year. Let us hasten to make
better record this year. Mrs. For !,
ley is at disadvantage because of
