It was reported by Mrs. Watland that 1000 stickers had been ordered and received and that a number had been sent out. The members were urged to use them and give them to people who would use them to advantage. 
The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Bray who gave an interesting talk on "Child Welfare," bringing to us the phase which most interested her, "The Importance of forming good reading habits." 
At the close of the lesson while the hostess served refreshments in honor of the incoming and outgoing officers we were favored by some vocal selections, one a duet by Anna Mae Schooley and Jane Huff, "Diamonds in the Rough and a selection by Cecilia Cook, "Beautiful Garden of Prayer."
