Mr.. Foster reported that the towns
heard from so far were asking to be al
lowed to send more delegates than were
sent last year. 1t was voted to increase
the number to two hundred and fifty,
which is an increase of fifty over last
year. The plan will be the same as last
year, that is each delegate and each lead
er will pay one dollar for registration and
they will receive free entertainment be-
ginning Friday night and extending on
through Sunday until Monday morning.
Every delegation must have leader
and no leader can have more than ten
boys. The leader should be one who is
be a bit older than the boys, one who will
look after the conduct and welfare of his
delegation, to see they are present at all
the meetings.
The conference will begin Friday after
noon with an informal reception at one
of the churches, to be announced later.
Then at six O'Clock comes the parade,
lead b, the band, after which the ban
quet, to which every boy always looks
forward, not OF ly to a feast of good
things to eat, but to feast of things to
be stored away in the mind to help the
boy to 60 right in the hour of trial, and
then the quiet, helpful meetings of Sat-
urday forenoon; then the sports of the
afternoon with the Saturday evening
meeting, and so on through Sun lay. No
boy fourteen to twenty one years of age
can afford to stay away. Only $50 can
come as delegates. Quick action is need
ed if you are to be one of the delegates. !,
