The annual report showed a total
membership of $50 ,s93. Potentate
Lansburgh recounted the history of
the Shrine, and said, in part:
II believe the annual growth may
now be expected to continue along
normal lines and maintain a general
average of increase from wear to
year. The period of great activity
and influx of members that followed
the war apparently has ended, nd we
may look for a stea der growth. which
perhaps after all is more desirable
than that of the boom"
Speaking of the Shrine hospitals for
crippled children, he said: Scattered
about the continent in convenient
places. these great institutions have
become the lode-star for the deformed
and crippled little children escaping
from homes in which only the bare
cessities of life can he found To
such is extended the great kindly
hand of the Shrine which corrects
and cures the deformity that held the
child in bondage. and then sends II
out into the world erect and self.
