'The state organization has not eX-
acted dues, neither has il made any
demands on the circles, believing that
the best interests of the work would
be in doing the duty nearest, and We
believe this has not weakened the or

strengthen it and cause Us to reall1e

the child and the home. the school and
the community must be united inter-
est if we are TO give 10 the nation the

which we live.
