The usual Work Conferences were held and the Executive Committee
presented the Plan of Work which was adopted. In addition to the usual
recommendations it urged that a Memorial Organization Fund be
established to perpetuate the memory of pioneers and that a legal
adviser for the association be appointed from its women lawyer
members. The morning meetings as always were given up to business and
reports of officers, chairmen of committees and field workers and the
afternoons to State reports. The latter, made for the most part by the
presidents, showed faithful work going on in every State and progress

added to the School franchise, which the women had possessed ever

the removal of the national headquarters from New York, where they had
first been established, to Warren, O., where they occupied two large

been sent to the _Woman's Journal_. Resolutions for woman suffrage had
been obtained in international, national and a large number of State
conventions.

the national officers received a salary (except the secretary, who had
a nominal one), and in referring to the immense amount of unpaid work
done by them and by women in the different States, she said: "People
