ense but at the low figure we put on them we could
draw the gratis line closer without impairing our popularity.... The
average daily output of literature since the opening of headquarters
in New York--and this does not include the orders which continued to
be filled in Warren--has been 2,742 pieces, or a growth of more than
25 per cent. over the average of last year. Our cash sales from
January 1 to April 1 have amounted to $938, or an average of $312 per
month as against the average of $89 per month for 1908-9. That is, our
cash sales for the past three months are three and a half times
greater than they were at the same time last year."

"The propagandist part of the correspondence," said Miss Peck, "soon
makes a wise woman of the headquarters secretary. The time for general
argument and abstract appeal has largely gone by. The call now is for
statistics, laws, definite citations, instances of industrial
conditions, legal status of women and children, etc.... The State
organizations could do no more valuable service in aiding our
efficiency as an information agency than by each getting out a
condensed and reliable bulletin of State laws relating to women and
children; and also by collecting data as to the property held
and taxes paid by women, with illustrative instances where
disfranchisement has forced these taxpayers to submit to injustice and
unfair discrimination." She told of the increasing call for woman
suffrage literature from public libraries to meet the demand and urged
the encouragement of debates, saying: "If the State organizations
would make a persistent effort to have suffrage debated in the schools
and if they advertised the national headquarters as prepared to
furnish a volume of debate material for thirty cents, suffrage would
receive continuous advertising at no financial expense to us, nor
would the good to the movement cease with the debate. Get the young
people interested and you catch the mothers. Also by keeping a card
register of the young debaters, the State organization would have the
names and addresses of an ever-growing list of oncoming citizens
interested in the subject. Debaters are a good deal cheaper than
organizers. The State University of Wisconsin is sending out through
its university extension department our suffrage literature in
travelling libraries to meet the demand in the public schools for
debate material. I believe most State universities would be glad to do
the same for
