ing quite regularly, have been opposed
to the annual dues of so cents on the
ground that a number of mothers have
not attended the meeting because they
have felt they were not members, not
having paid their dues. The senti-
ment was almost unanimous in favor
of abolishing all dues so that here
after every patron and friend is a
member of the association, and no
dues will be charged.
Following the formal business meet
ing the company adjourned to the large
hallway where the Lincoln school or

themselves as delighted with the work
of the year There has been complete
harmony a good feeling and ideal spir-

all of those who have been connected
directly with the association are very
proud of the years work. The educa-
tional committee has secured some ex-

grams which were very much enjoyed
and appreciated. The untiring efforts
of the social committee have been es-
peclally well received by all present
at each of the meetings. The work of

cial mention. During the latter half

for as yet, but all concerned are conf
dent that the balance will be paid early
next year. The equipment consists of
