The work of enrolling members
for the new organization began
some weeks ago through the dis

churches, and the number of both
men and women who have already
joined is very encouraging.
1t is Miss Potter's plan to appoint
in each town or city board of
public spirited citizens, both men
and women, who will act as the local
directors of the Allied Citizens in
that town, these directors to have
full charge of the organization in
their own community, with perfect
freedom to carry out any plans
which they may deem beneficial for
the work in that community. ANY
expense incurred in the carrying
y out of these plans is to be met by
voluntary subscription.

"This initial conference of the

has had active charge of the organ

international committee, she said:
1t was inevitable that the women

more women in this country are

The movement which brought the

r. The first representative of the
government of the United States
attended the fourth meeting of the
Latin-American Scientific Congress
in Chile. The name of the congress
was changed at that time to the
"Pan-American Scientific Congress"
A report of that initial gathering
gives the names of several women
physicians and educators of Latin
America as members Of the con-
gress. The third congress distin-
guished Senora Barbosa Rodrigues,
wife and collaboration Of the director
Of the Botanical Gardens of Rio de

president Of it's assembly. The Sec
retary General of the fourth Latin
American Scientific Congress de-
clared that women composed per
cent of the total membership of that
meeting. Professor Shepard, of
Columbia University, an officia1dele-
gate from America to the congress,
said, in the Quarterly of his college,
concerning the part women took in
the meeting:
"Women school teachers consti-
tuted large part Of the audience
at the meeting held for the discus
sion of educational matters. And it
should be said that they express
their opinions, as we'll as their diff

she has an excellent reputation with

sessions of the women's auxiliary
the conference resolved that per-

THE recent announcement that
L the House of Commons of Eng.
land had opened the ranks of its
official stenographers to women
caused much interest among the
older attaches Of the United States
Capitol. 1t was generally conceded
that the taking Of such step by the
United States House of Representa-
tlves is yet far distant. Reporters
who have been at the Capitol for
years declare that the strain of the
work, particularly when there are
all-night sessions, is too much for
woman's physical powers. Again,
serious study, not only of the me-
chanics of the profession. but also
of the procedure and routine of the
Congress, is necessary to equip a
person for the work.
