annual state gathering. The district con-
%yenti0n supplies the inspiration, affords
the necessary conference and enables the
clubs to come in closer touch with each

state work. Only the minority OF club
women can afford the time or the expense
incidental to attending a state and district
convention both in one year, and with the
district convention meeting annually and
the state convention meeting once in two
years, both gatherings would he strength

largely solve the serious problem Of meet

suitable program.
The convention program and the year
book are two large items of expense in the
state and the work of the standing com

of funds. Personal interest of women who
have the time and means has, however,
made possible aggressive committee work,
