When Red Cross chapter has been
formally organized. as directed in a
former article, then-and never In any
case before-should q public meeting
be called ard a membership campaign
begun. In cases where public meet
Ing is called first, there Is usually a
great amount of enthusiasm aroused,
hundreds and thousands Of persons de-
sire to become members and begin
work at once-and there is no way to
accommodate them. Sometimes the
best men are not chosen leaders, and
In any case the proper organization Is
hampered.
Then, because the people cannot be
q oiled and put at active work at
once, their enthusiasm wanes, and by
the time the chapter Is formally or
ganized and ready to proceed, inter
est has abated.
But when a chapter has been prop
erly organized, and differed by men
and women In whom the community
has implicit CONFIDENCE and member
ship campaign definitely mapped out
In advance, public meetings, press no
tices and all the forms Of advertising
which live committee may devise,
will be found of great advantage.
