Des Moines, It was shown that the
number Of active members of the P.
e. O. sisterhood IN Iowa on March l,
1912, was 1883 and the number OF
chapters in Iowa at the present time
is 1877.
A few extracts from the report OF
Mrs Huldah Reed Of What Cheer,
state treasurer. will be interesting.
This report Is submitted for the year
ending May Z, 1912. The amount OF
money on hand May ~, 1911, was
2,O4609. The amount received as con.
tributions to educational fund was
s1,175.72. The total cash received was
$7.O9416 with the total disbursements,
$4716.27. The balance on hand May
Z, 1912, was $2,37789.
In the report OF Mrs. Helen D.
Townsend of Abba, chairman of the
educational work, the following ex.
cerpts we're taken: 1--WE gave in Iowa
this year $1,1S9, twenty-three cents
per capita. This means that two
thirds OF the chapters gave all. If the
other one-third will give in proportion
we would have in Iowa $l.7S3. l ap.
peal to the thirty-seven chapters that
have not contributed. In several OF
these chapters know personally that
it is net from lack Of interest, but be-
cause the chapter has already assum-
ed an obligation that must be met
The fact that we have $4,000 women

puts power in our hands that I'VE
have no right to neglect. To feed the
hungry. to clothe the naked, to help In
any public Improvement is a thing OF
today. We have so far had the pleas
ure Of passing education on to nifty
nine girls and SO far as I know only
TWO of these girls have not already
done something toward their own sup
port. Every girl we help is distinct
gain to womankind, and to humanity |
1t large. In time perhaps We shass
lave a fund so great that we shall ~
vest it and use only the interest to
advance the cause of education"
