ming of active work in the Fall more
plans will be divulged, and the work
of the various departments will be-
come systematized and the scope OF
work broadened. There will be a
few more meetings of clubs though
out the State, but most OF them have
adjourned for the summer. The
press chairman is very grateful for
the active support and hearty coop
Grafton of the officers of the Fedora
ton. heads of department, individual
club members and their officers who
have done so much to assist her in the
press work. Miss Obeline Souch-
ereau, Miss Mayme Berning, Miss
Gladys Wood and Miss Stewart have
been faithful workers on this commit
tee and their services have proved in
valuable to the chairman as has the
work of the club reporters appointed
by the various clubs.
During the summer months the
press chairman will devote most 81
her leisure time to the charging and
further systematizing of her coopera-
ton. for use in clubs and schools OF
the State. The bureau of informa-

clubs of the State will make active
use of this department, and that they
will see fit to establish or to interest
the schools in their locality to estab-
lish these Libraries. Any one desir'
ing further information on the COOP
