It would be difficult to secure a group of women
of more marked ability, or better-known workers in
various lines of philanthropic and educational work,
than the members composing this admirable board.
At the convention of 1914, held in Nashville, several
of them resigned, and at present (in 1914) the
``National's'' affairs are in the hands of this in-
spiring group, again headed by the much-criticized
and chastened writer of these reminiscences:
Mrs. Stanley McCormack, first vice-president.
Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, second vice-president.
Dr. Katharine B. Davis, third vice-president.
Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, treasurer.
Mrs. John Clark, corresponding secretary.
Mrs. Susan Walker Fitzgerald, recording secretary.

In a book of this size, and covering the details
of my own life as well as the development of the
great Cause, it is, of course, impossible to mention
by name each woman who has worked for us--
though, indeed, I would like to make a roll of honor
and give them all their due.
