 Following are extracts from a letter to club members by Anna J. H. Pen nybacker, President of the General Federation of Women's Clubs of the United States:
 My Dear Friends:
 In my fall visits have everywhere found cause for encouragement. The order of the conventions is good, the programs are being more wisely built, there is certain quality of dash and precision about some of those presid- ing that is especially pleasing, and above all things the spirit of harmony is strong. There is tremendous growth in the understanding between the State and the General Federation. Everywhere there have been General Federation representatives, there has been not only willingness, but eager ness to give out General Federation in- formation, and there has been a desire on the part of the body polite to re- ceive this information. The interest ia the New York Biennial, and I fully believe that we are to have a record breaking attendance. So far in these state meetings have met Mrs. Keefe, Mrs. White, Mrs. Williams and Miss Stearns (of the Board of Directorsl, and Mrs. Sherman. of Conservation; Mrs. Cole, Chairman of Civil Service Reform; Miss Johnson, Chairman of Home Economies; Mrs. Winter, Chair man of Literature; Miss Boswell, Act ing Chairman of Education, and Mrs. Baxter, Vice-Chairman of Civics. These women have rendered valuable service and have given of their best freely. In several states wee held s. meeting of all the state chairmen in order to impress upon them their new relationship to the General Federation departments. Everywhere this new plan is approved. It has a tendency to make the state chairmen feel more and more the responsibility of her position. am asking the state presi- dents to remember that it is really in their hands that the formation Of the General Federation department now lies. I am urging them to make special effort to select the women best fitted for the place and bring pressure to bear on these women to induce them to accept chairmanships. The hour has come when We must try to make women see. that some- times it is duty even to make per sonal sacrifice in order to accept fede- ration, work. When woman feels that she is being chosen to direct, not alone the work in her state, but to be vital part of this same work over the whole country. the magnitude of the task appeals to her and she sees that sacrifice may be genuinely worth while.
 Minutes Too Long.
 There are some suggestions for bet torment that I would like to make. These suggestions are the result Of many, many pastoral calls. made dur ing the past three years. In some places the minutes are entirely too long. We should remember that ad- jectives have no place in the minutes of a convention. When secretary begins to use complimentary terms she must either have sufficient ad- jectives to meet the case of every speaker or she will be confronted by. an embarrassing position. Since minutes are supposed to record facts and not opinions. it is much safer for the secretary to allow herself no ex- pression of Judgment, even though that judgment be conveyed only through the medium of adjectives. Do you think this same principle might
