Many potential leaders go unnoticed because they are shy. It is the responsibility of all club members to encourage them and then help train them. One of the greatest joys of the club should be to see a member emerge from a quietly thOughtful person into a dynamic leader of thought and action. Interest in some special issue of the day or the community, could give many women courage to say: "I second the motion.” By this act that seems commonplace to many of us. a woman can voice her opinion and help others to bring the matter before the meeting for conâ€" sideration and make her feel that she is contribut- ing. The next time it will be easier for her to speak up. Leaders do not emerge full blown. They develop with each experience and by full participation in the group or club. Leadership is a continuous process of growth in understanding, in consistent work, and in apprecia- tion of others. These qualities lie dormant in many members of the \Vomen's Institute. Our task is to search them out and to use them to raise the standards of each group and the world organization of which we are members.

I remember, I remember The roses, red and white, The violets, and the lily cups Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday The tree is living yet! I remember, I remember Where I was used to swing, And thought the air must rush as I: To swallows on the wing; My spirit flew in feathers then That is so heavy now The summer pools could hardly an Tht fever on my brow. I remember, I remember, The fir-trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky; It was a childish ignorance, But now ’tis little joy To know I’m farther off from Hex“ Than when I was a boy.
