has become automatically a member
of the General Federation by a recent
change in the state federation rules.
This gives greater strength to the gen

Washington. 1t costs $4,000 and is
so large and elegant it was renting for
$500 per month The Federation gets
possession of it on the first of April

brilliant assemblies

in connection with the consolidated
schools for the increased educational
opportunities of our Georgia children.
