funds through solicitors, either on a
salary or percentage basis. The So
ciety employees no solicitors of any
kind anywhere.
This plan of securing funds in West
Florida has so far not been great
success, but in time we feel sure it will
work out here as it does all through
the state 1t is matter of education
and soon the good people of West
Florida will respond to these appeals
just as the people of other parts OF
the state.
Through the personal appeals of
the late Hon. William A. Blount, of
Pensacola, the members of the Rotary
club and the Kiwanis club of Pensa-
cola were persuaded to put on a cam
paign for the West Florida branch
last fall, which proved to be a real
success in Pensacola, but great dis
appointment in the eight other West
Florida counties, each of which was
asked to raise only $1,000. Escambia
county, including Pensacola, con-
tributed and subscribed $4,000 of the
$4,000 asked for, while all eight OF
the other counties had a desperately
hard time to raise another $4,000.
eve regret to state that many OF
the subscriptions made during the
campaign have not been paid-so that
we are thousands of dollars short on
the years work-for the funds raised
in the November campaign were in
tended to carry us through till No
vember, 1921. We will be obliged
therefore, to raise $4,000 more, or give
up the work before that time. Won't
you help us to raise five, ten or more
dollars real soon? We are deeply
grateful to every member of the Ro-
tary and Kiwanis clubs, and to every
other person who aided in any way to
make the campaign success.
