feel that much has been accomplished
toward making this the best year in
the clubs history. In September they
began the study OF Contemporary
drama with few programs on juve-
nile Literature.
Although this work is decidedly the
heaviest the club has undertaken thru
the efficient aid of Miss Louise Smith
Of the Carnegie Library enough ref
erence material and outside aid has
been procured to make the work the
most pleasant and profitable as we'll
as the most difficult.

Association in Atlanta presented new
phases of Juvenile Literature and
arranged an interesting outline of the
work to be pursued by the club along
those lines.
