 A financial statement is always in teresttns.

 ' We have expert leaders now, but the time may come when we may need more of them. Let every member of the cir cle think of herself as a possible leader and fit herself for an emergency Don't say, "Oh. don't know how" Say "I'll it, myself knowing that skill comes not only from ability but from study, inter est and, practice. One circle has been fortunate enough to have leader i'm ported from Pennsylvania. Let us hope there Twill be a general immigration of enthusiastic Kings Daughters into Con necticut.
 We need expect junior workers. Since Mrs: Stevens' most excellent pamphlet has been written and printed no one can be excused from forming junior circles upon the grounds of not knowing how. The directions are explicit and complete Don't let the fact that you 1 are busy hinder you from starting a 1 Junior circle I don't. know of any 1 leader in either of these counties but has just a little more work than she can possibly do. Mrs Atterbury and I have alittle joke between us about the o-eedar. mop and the dust-cloth, but we both have Sunday school classes who
 were begging to join something. so we
 have qualified as junior experts. I have not felt in years gone by like saying

 I have a new field of expert work
 which is much needed. Unless you have i arranged a conference or a convention program ysu do not realize the dearth of public speakers in our order leaders, If you have any promising candidates
 for honors in public speaking let us
 know about them and we will give them
 local practice and then send them around
 the state.
 I've had my turn at you Now I ought
 to give you chance to tell what would
 make an expert county president Per
 haps you would tell me that county
 president who Is a housekeeper and s
 mother has no business to be taken witf
 an enthusiasm for teaching when th' county reports are coming in It is tot much like the old Quaker who felt call , ed to go on preaching tour every yea at having time. This renewing acquaint ! ance with my old profession impressed
