ors to the Federation. Mrs. Monroe,

the gifted wife of the celebrated
author, Kirk Monroe, whose books
for boys have won for him a nation,
al reputation as one of the country's
ablest writers. Mrs. Monroe is
very much interested in her depart
ment and has a right to feel proud
over the splendid showing made.
"The growth the Federation has
made, "said Mrs. Monroe, "can be
appreciated more fully when one
scans the first year book issued by
the Federation in 1893, which 1
have here, and which is a pamphlet
of four pages, and this last book of
1914-15, which you see is of several
hundred pages."

East Coast is splendidly represented,
