 When the D. A. R. census of wal relief resources was taken in 1917, individual members of Connecticut chapters subscribed to a fund by which board and tuition of students from this state at the Woman's Ma tional Service schools and camps might be paid. Three women have taken the course; one, a daughter, at her own expense, the other two, ap- pointed by the state regent by means of this fund. They are Miss Julia Herman, instructor and stenographer in French at Carnegie institute, and Miss Ruby Jencks, for three years national organizer of Boy Scouts.
 The state regent, Mrs. John Laid law Buel, has recently appointed 6 committee to select candidates to be sent to the training schools and camps. The cost of a students uniform is approximately $11. Any. one who desires to take advantage of this fund should make application to member of the committee at her earliest possible convenience as the committee hopes to place as many Connecticut students as possible n the ChautauQua camps during July and August. The committee con- sists of Mrs. Starr c. Barnum of Danbury president; Mrs Amos Browning of Norwich, and Mrs. H1- bert M. Sedgwick of New Haven.
