PI BETA PHI ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
Within the past few years, only, college fraternities have realized the nece ss ity for safeguarding the future and caring for the pre se nt through endowment funds. Pi Beta Phi with its Arrow Endowment was one of the first women's fraternities to take this look ahead and its magazine endowme nt now exceeds that of any ot her wome n 's fraternity . O ther fraternities, however, n o w have or a re sec uring la rge endowments the interest from which is available for int ern a l development . No other fraternity, at present, gives the s upervisi o n and official contacts which Pi Beta Phi gives to its chapte r s and alumnre clubs and conside r s so essentia l to internal st rength . O ur fraternity cannot con tinu e to lead in this respect in competition with fraternities with large conti ngent endowments, however, unless it secures a simila r endowment fund or assesses greatly increa sed dues . Convention has a uth orized a brief, intensive campaign for a $50,000 endowment the pr incipal of which shall be available for chapter hou se loans and the interest , for internal organization needs. It is to be a Friendship Fund, which means that every Pi Beta Phi will want to have a part in it.
The Grand Council ha s very real pleasure in announcing th e appointment o f th e Kansas City, Missouri, Alumnre Club as directors of the campaign. The enthus iastic loyalty with whi ch this sp lendid club ha s accepted the oppo rtunity for a g reat se rvi ce to P i Beta Phi is another g uar antee of the success of the Friendship Fund.

The Endowment Fund Drive which was launched at the Twenty-Eighth Biennial Convention is a magnificent memorial to the Sixtieth Anniversary of Pi Beta Phi. Such a fund will provide for the future growth and developEndowment Fund ment of the fraternity in keeping with that of the past. Every wearer of the arrow shou ld be glad to contribute at least :;;5 .00 for the sake of some friend that she ha5 made through her fraternity experience:
A new phase of internal de\'e)opment will be undertaken this faU due to the legislation passed at the recent Convention providing for visits to be made to a lumn a! clubs by the Province Vice Presidents, Each Province Vice President Alumnae Visitors will visit every club in her province at least once during the interim of Conventions. Through this personal contact the aims and purposes of the fraternity may be brought more clearly to the club.; recent legi s lation can be explained; the needs of the Sett lement School can be !)hqwn forcibly; and a more c10sely woven fabric of alumna: or!(an izat ion can be accomp li shed. To provide for this contact between clubs and officers i s a splend id step forward in the progress of the A lumn a! Department.
If you knew that a diamond worth $2,000 or $2,500 wa. coming to you through the mail wou ld you be interested in looking at it? vVuuld you consider it wort h a few minutes of yo ur time? The information Number of The ArSecret Arrow row costs the fraternity between $2,000 and $2,500. It is published in order that the members may know a U of the intimate details o f internal development and progress. In it you can learn about every phase of the wo rk of Pi Beta Phi during the past two years. If you can spare a few ho ur s of time, you m ay discover much that you did not know co ncerning you r chapter or the enti re fraternity .
Every club and chapter is interested in money for the Settl«ment School. It would be quite worth while for each club pr chapter president to study the ways and means of raising money and to try t o conce ntrate on some of the Raisi ng Mon ey things whi c h bring in big returns for perhaps less effort than so me of the smaller things. For instance, magazine subscript ions which require much le s, work than bake sales, bring in excellent profits. Sendillg just one membe r on the world tour with the Floating University will bring at least $125 to th e Settlement School and may bring more. A ll you have to do is to se nd the name of the person to the Floating University and the company will do the follow up work and will pay the bon uo in the event the person enrolls. Sell one Chevrolet car, and you will have made more money for the Settement School than you cou ld have made giving hours of time to the sale of candy or sim il ar products.
• • •
A ruling passed in the aimnnre s ession of Convention provides that money raised by a club spec ifically for the Settlement School shall be used for that purpose only. This should also apply to chapters. There is a tendency B e nefit s among fraternities to give benefits to raise money und er the guisil of supporting some altruistic work and then of retaining part of the proceeds to pay towards the upkeep or repair of chap ter houses. This is absolutely unfair to the public. Every benefit should advertise the exact purpose for which it is being given. If a c hapter o r club is raising money for the building or upkeep of a chapter hou se it should make its purpose very clear. 'f here are n:any persons who would contrib ut e liberally towards the support of the Settlement School o r towards other altruistic undertakings if they felt sure that all of their contributions were going into that work. They are not willing to help suppo rt a chapter h ouse which has been running behind in its expenses, nor should they be expected to do so. When giving benefits for the Sett l ement School, great stress should be placed on the fact that all profits are to go direct to the work oi the School!

Five hundred graUs orders Bnd 225 paid orders were wrapped and mailed . Practically every oUlcer was supplied with stationery. the most dlfficult lask in the a ttic-e. 8S every order required individual attention. A saving to the traternity would be mnde It otflcers would order 8 :rear's supply at 8 tlme, sinee It Is the tYP2'-6e ttlng BDd running ort the printing which costs, than the paper. The stationery bill of tbe fraternlly amounts to many hundreds of dollars a year.

Recent PI rhl visItors to the office have r ema rked upon the precision nnd promptness ot chapter officers in sending in r eports , a very small percentage ot which were tardy, and only two or three unsatisfactory. The tall reports were not accurate, and took a month to revise, but the spring reports bad very tew mistakes.

Report of Historian
1 t[IHE work of Historian sine.., the Blgwm Inn Convention hos been carried on at Irregular intervals but has n c "er been forg otten • The archives and records nre up to dnle. The ARROW fil e Is complete The pages of the Auow are a ,plendid agency lor preserving the fraternity history and furnish n complete record trom year to year of great value. Making use of: this means your Historian ha s complied all "notes from Little Pigeon," also nlL items of historical in terest making mention of our l'''ounders. All this w e consider ot great valUe and we recommend that these be bound and become a part ot th e HistorIan's files.
We also recommend and urge that each chapter compile a chapter hlstory. As our fraternity grows and ns each chnpter grows older the motter o f chapter hlsLory auel tradItions becomes m Ore inte res ting and more We recommend that this Convention make some ruling requiring all chapte r s of n B to compile such historical matter, form and items to be included, to be suggested and approved by the Na · tlona l Historian, nfte r which It shall be put in pe rm anent form in ench respecth·e chapter as well as 1D Historian 's file s.
We regret to report that to our appeal for relics Of historical in · terest we have hod no response save from o ur Grand President, who has scnt for the files a piece of sheet music written by n father of a Pi Phi then J. C , and was published sometime in the early 80's, also 8 gavel made from the walnut stairs in the first college building at Moomouth College. Mrs. McMichael, wife of the pre s ident , had some of the wood made into gavels and ga ve this One to Mrs. Kilgore. "Upon Mrs. Kilgore's death , Mrs. Hutchison returned the gavel, and Mr s. McMichael bas now given It to n B 4>. We oog you to gi\'e this mat· ter ot reUes your special attention. See that families ot I. LS. who are gone do oot destroy things which are priceless from our viewpoint. In addition to performing the regular duties of her Office your historIan upon request ot the Grand President visited three chapters officiallyLouisiana A, Oklahoma A, aod Oklahoma B.
With the submitting ot this report your historian is closing her te.nth year of active service in II B 4» ond it is with the keenest regret that she f eel s tha t the time has come to sever her connection officially with the fraternity. SA1lAII EnaNBEBBY SIGLER.
Report of National Supervisor of Chapter Accounting
[mLANS were made in September, 1925. for instntllng the Busey Accounting System. The Grand Treasurer sent to all chapters a letter nnnotnlcing the fnct that a national accounting system was to be installed according to the ruling of COllventlon, and that a NatioDal Supervisor of the system had been chosen. This letter also requested the names of a finance committee to be selected In each chapter, to prepare the beginning budget, supenlse the work of the house treasurer, authorize aJl assessments, ood control the finances ot the chapter through the periodical report, this committee to include the finance member ot the Advisory Board, Bnd the house treasurer.
This W88 followed by two general letters scnt out from our office which carried Instructions In detail for making out the budget control sheets and monthly or quarterly reports.
Wh en November 25 arrIved, the first repol'ts began coming In some absolutely correct. others slightly incorrect, some "ery Incorrect, Rnd many not heard from. A survey ot the fIrst reports was made and It seemed ad\'lsnble to sC1ld all chapters n general letter cove ring the common errors we perceived in many reports.
10 January, about 50 chapters were using the system very well. It now seemed advisable to allow about 2() chapters to start anew, and so n general letter was sent out for this purpose. It seemed to give them new "inspiration" and In June 19'>.Ji all chapters were usIng the system with very little dttticulty with the exception o't
As our Convention ruling required a yenrly audit of the accounts of each chapter, in Maya lette r was sent to nll chapte r s requesting this audit and including ri blank form This fludit supplied the correct figures wIth which to start the new collego year. It was InterestLng to note that these figures only showed two chapters with an o\'erdratt balnnce. On nccount of the eXPE"l'ience of the prevIous year, the reports coming Into this office in the fall of 1920 were more nearly correct, even though In almost every case each chapter had e lected a new tre asurer.
The system ot report grading instituted this yenr had the effect ot speeding up the receipt of reports, and placing a definite value on correctness and promptness.
From a grade of 100, ti points arc tlcducted for each major mistake in each deportment and 10 points deducted fOr ench week that a report Is late.
Under a new amendment or tbe Constitution, n new treasurer Is elected In the middle of the colleg<: year and seHes continuous ly tor one year, 88 this allows the old tr('asurcr to ad\'Lse the new trensurer ' uutU tbe end ot the college ;rear. This change bas been of great value and sho uld be obsened by all chapters.

Mrs. Agnes Miller Turn e r , se<' retory nnd publicity member tor the Settlement School Committee, reports that she feels that a more con· centrated effort should be msde, educating actives tor alumnre members. I know in Dallas, Texas t.h e re arc over eighty-t:lvc alumnre, but only twenty-four take any Interest in the club, It the actlye chapters were requtred to hold two Settlement School programll annually. th ey would be better ocqualnted with t.hls splendid work, thereby taking more interest in nlumme club activIties. Mrs. Turn e r has been an In · epiratlon to the committee. H er ard ent zenl combined with ub1l1ty makes her a valuable asset to any organlzatiO'll. The School shall miss her as she r etires from the committee this year. It you have read the An-ote articles that she has edited, you have certain ly become more enlightened concerning the Settlement School.
Mrs, Geare bas continued her work of lnteresting PI Phis who have not been connected with any alumnru club. She reports that through the e!!orts ot Miss Margaret White and herself 29 new clubs have been organized. and by this time pt'obably n few more. This has been a praiseworthy acbie\'ement because all membE-rs of Pi Beta J?hl should have the chance to take part in such an und ertaking. To Mra Geare, the School feels deeply indebted.
Mrs. Freeman, the Ways and Means m ember of the committee has had cbarge 01' lbe slides. She strongly u rges that pro\' lnce officers ar· range an ltineral'y of these sIldes for theil' respective c lubs or cilapteNl in order to expedite delh' ery and sal'e expenscs. By the time an answer goes to the far We st clubs and back, a nearby club has tbe sUdes, Ulls entailing more correspondl.'nce. Urs. Freeman bas served as acting chaIrmon during my prolonged stay abroad, carryLng on her own work on the committee, besides being president ot the aeUve Cleveland Club and doing my work too, willing and erticient she h08 been. Her services ca11not be measured other than to say when she has n task to do, it Is done the best WRy.
It has been the aims ot the committee to foster seve ral Dew ideas this year. For tour years we have needed an industrial ,building, aDd today our dreams are being realized. It Is started and our h()pes expect It to be ready for use in October. Bad we more funds, we could complete th e building so badly needed.. The Hazel Todd Meaden cot· tage at tbe Emma Harper Turner Center in the Sugar lands is now beIng u sed, and we of the committee "modestly" aSBert that It Is n dear. Wo bave striven to pLace the industr1a1 departm e nt on paying basiB,
our woven goods arc \'e ry nearly perfect, and by their excellence and attractiveness tbe sales ha 'f'e jumped by leaps and bounds. Four years ago we sold about $1000 worth ot products; three years ago the sales were obout $4000; last year and this year over $14,000. I can· not Quote accurately as I bo'fc n ot the exact figur es here on the boot with me. Let me add that this does not mean proflt but it could be 80 hod we the spnce for more looms ond storage. Miss Hedding I s most efficient, and 1108 the happy faculty of getting the women to take advantage of her Instructions. Their loyalty to the School Is commend. nble.
Tbe school work on the whole has l>e<.-n good, weak In 81lOts 'Us true, due entLrely to congested quarters. 'l'b e llmc Is now ripe 'for a higb type man princIpal who caD rc\'ise and vlse the entire curriculum, The attendance despite continuous eplC.1emJcs ot every known disease has been good. Congested conditions, no auditorium, primary work in the teacher's cottage, Inadequate agriculture oDd home economics Quarters hoye had to be overcome, but uot without a great deal ot distress to the teachers, TO' say they were haDlllcaplled does not express the true situation, but to say that they were e ttlcient, wllUng and wondertuUy good sports mlgbt convey in a smnll degree the high regard the committee holds (or th em,

Whenever we thlnk ot our extensivc work, we just "burst with pridc." When we think of the oppositIon In years past, and now, those natives clamour tor Pi Beta Pbl to direct, we naturally teel that we have accomplished something, The Emmn Harper Turner center at Sugarlands Is only the beglnning, some day when we ah ftU have suffici e nt ftrods, we sball develop other fieJds demanding Pi Phi supervision, as we have nt Gatlinburg.

The enrollment for the pos t yenr taIls R "cry little below th e number last year as there has been no whatever. The nt · tendanc e trom our local community has been a little larger.
The only reaSOn we ca nnot show a mu ch l>etter attendance is be cause of the epidemics that have vi s ited us. Mensles wer e raging when school opened in the fall nnd continued .for n good part of the YCnt: ; ehlckcn pox, flu nnd mumps followed and practically everyone, etd and young, had them.
The school work has gone on ensier than usunl, no doubt due to the tew changes in the tenchi.ng stott. Mi ss Burton returned, alter a year's absence, for her ninth school yenr and taught the fir s t and secODd grades. Ber work was made easier <because of the klndcrgarten and prImer classes cnrried OIl in the dJning-roo m ot the Teacher 's Cottage by Miss Train e r. Tllis experiment was tried out this past year nnd while we ha \'e no doubt of the need and ot the good work done I do teel thot with tinances l ow we should try to get along without it next year.
Mrs, Chapin taught the thi rd and fourth grades and dId splendid work. She came with the undcrstanding she would supervise the gr.ades up to the sc \'cnth, but it pl'Ol'c d Ycry hard to d o as that had not been the custom in the past
Jean Steele taught one double period high school class in home economics each school day.
Mr. Mattll taught two double period higb school classes each day_ Wlnogene Redding taught one double period high school class each day.
With the full schedule ot regular WOrk the boys and girls were k ept "cry busy in school a.nd It seemed as thougb eve ry minute was occupied out of school hours,
It docs not seem wise to cnrry more than t\"\"o years of high school work for thc present. Our fir s t year claSH is large but the second year class the past year had ouly two pupils 10 it. The roads are good enough now so pupils can go to Sevier\'llIe to school without much diffic ulty. We had f our pupils going bock nud forth this year.
The county superintendent tell s us tbat the two years of high scbool w o rk h ere is accredited but we bm'l! not official ftcl..-nowledgement ot this. So tar our PUpUg have hoo to take e.\ amlnaUonli when enterlng accredited high schools in the Rtate.
ELmer Watson does not r et urn next year; lLargaret White does not expect to, nor does Marion Folsom. It these cbanges have to come it 8eeJllS to me It would be th e time to put a strong mon Into the higb school department, preferably as principal. I feel strongly that we should htn"c a mnn in the School. '''hile Mr. Mattll teaches agriculture his work kcpps blm away from the School I)rac-lically all of the time. the classes he conducts nre in n separate building and he never has time to be on the play ground el'e n at recess. Were a man put In as princil)al his work should not Uc too heavy for him really to have supervision of the whole 8<:hool. Tbe weak place bas always been in regard to supe rvisi o n , in trying to keep each room a separate unit Instead of holding c\'erythlng together 38 a wbole.
' Vere condiUons a little dtrterent JD Se,"lcrvllle I would make the recomUlendation this year tlmt we turn buck to tbe COunty the first six grades. With an eight month ' s school terUi. better teachers and salaries in the county and as much as bas been made in the past two or three yenrs I bc-licve we should give buck to the county the grade work. It would take a yenr or more tor the county to pre" pare to take this ·but I beliHe it it oid it would make Gatl1nburg a conso lidated school, as it probably never will under present conditions. docs not meun that I would advise giving up all supervision of the Scbool, we would not be asked LO, the county Is glad to employ PI Phi teacllers and would pay flS - good salaries a8 we are paying . I firmly believe there is danger of sc hools ot this kind holding onto work otter the county Is able to take it over . We would have a -bIg task lett it we carried the n ext four ""rudes, the home cc...'Onomic8, agriculture, weaving, h ealth, a.nd com munity work, and the industrial department.
During the year health plays were given by the grade children. At the close of the eight months of school Miss Burton's, Mrs. Chapin>s aud Mr. Watson"s pupils gave three short plays. The usual Ch ristmas progrnm was gln?'D.
' [)w ciosillg for eightll and high school cun31sted ot a play iu the nature ot a minstre l 8how, given by the boys glee club, on May 10 and May 20 nn address was gh>eu by Mr. Char les Sharp (It Sevierville. The ned Cross certiflcntes were glyCD to the twelve girls completlng tbe course In Home H;)'giene and (;are of the Sick and eighth grade certlflcates were given to twenty-one PUI}lis. This WItS followed by a little banquet.
With schOOl opening as late as September It was necessary to COllUnue until May 20, later than nny school tn SevIer county. Tbi!o1 W8!( tr ied 8S an experiment. The pupils have stayed iu a ", well :.18 they possibly could but I feel that next year it wlll be better tl) OjJC"ll earlie r , then t.t time hRS to be lost it con be during the IlrRt month Instead ot the last. Surely the firHt seven grades must begin August 1

()JlU..s' UoaMITORY
The year bas passed unu s ually well here. There have been trom lour to seven girls In the dormitory nnd there hns been no trouble whatever.
Mrs. McCarter and Aunt l ,lzzie have done the COoktng tor the entire family, boys, girls and teachers. 'l'he pIon hns worked out very well and bas proved to be th e best way to mnnnge, The changes in the fall required comparatively little flnnncial outlay nnd no changes of any amount in the cottages.
The meals have been well bnlnnccd and appe tizing nnd I teel we are better cared for than those in the average boarding school.
While the girls have not had mu oh chan ce to help with the cooking they have done other house work that has kept them bu sy, The boys have stayed week-ends more than the girls hO\'e 88 Saturday form work was always pressing.
In 'both girls' nnd boys' there should be n way for those in charge to 'be relieved as every day 8nd every night makes a p r etty hard strain.
It was my idea this year to relieve ourselves as mu ch as poSSIble and try to have the Burg help beal' the burden of th e <boarding pupils but at the end of the year I tccl I hn\'c made n mistoke. Some ot our most promising pupils are io homes in th e Burg. WiUl the little super· visloo the average tomlly gives. the results Drc not what they shoul d be. The work for students has been betler planned this year ond po'ss ibly we can improve still morc another yenr amI have more under our ('are,
FARM
The farm work has been looked nfter and partially done by Otha -Reagan, under the planning and s upervi s ion of Mr. Mattll Otha has proved to <be quite a good band to look ofter the boys and tbelr WOrk and the result has been that Ute farm is in better condition and the stock and chickens have done better this year than ever before, Stu, dent help is hard to handle, bours are more unce rtain, work has to be carefully checked up and lots or patience and enc.-ourngement used.
The reports ot the farm , as submitted by Mr. MattU, s1.tow that there has been a good amount of production toward the living. We also have been able to sell Quite a little The c hicken 'business has come to be quite a thing. During the spring a great many ba'by chicks were sold and settings given out around the district These are paid for by peopl e returning pullets i11 the taU. More hay was raised this
post year but we are not abl e to roise all we need yet. Last yea r we hoped to t.at failed. Each year, however, showlj a n improvement In the farm products
STUDEN1' LABOR
B o th boys and girls pul In most of the o ut of school bours In work on the place. During the year the boy., have their baseball and basketbal to take some outside time but the boys loo k after the horses, chicke n s, cows, pi gs. ca rr ylng in the wood, clean ing tlie schoolhouse, and 8 great many od d jobs. The girl s woit on tab le. set table , help with the dish es, k eep the cottages (' Iellll, ek.
It Is a big expe n se to k ee p the dormitories open but the school shows that those boys and gir ls living on the place bold out best In their school work.
This past year we h8\'e felt that th e grade ot work done by the atudents was better than ever before nnd the WOrk bctter orgnnlr.ed.

Th e r epo rt trom this deportment shows that there hav e been severa l changes during the year . Phylli s Higin botham l eft In the early spring of 1926.

We must contin ue trying to locnte a l'l rbi nurse, one who will come with the Idea of staying morc than a few months. Jj-'requent changes in any department handicap the work very much.
During all these changes we ho,·c been very fortunute In having T.JUll e Reagan, 0 locul girl, in the ot'fi<:c Lillie hos been familiar with the work , thc people and their needs; has taken care of all COrrespondence; ordering of all care of the Center ; and what is more, Dr. Ogle Illude the statement the othe r day thllt he had never known anyone with 0 finer sense of when to be present Rnd when to be ausent. We hove tried to have n sc hool gi rl help a littl e wlt!:t the cleaning, to relieve Ltlil e some, as she finds more work thnn s h e is able to do.
I feel strongly tbat we bave been unfoir this yenr. We hov e paid $50.00, home and travel for this work, the gi rl s baving shorter bours and really less responsibility. Now we are paring $30.00 and Lillie boardlng at borne. It seems to me we have taken ad"ontage Of a willing spirit. My recommendation for this department Is that we pay Lilli e Reagan $40 00 per month with a r eimb ur sement of $50.00 as tbe salary sho uld have been rai sed the first of the rea r .
CoUNTY HEALTH UN IT
Due to changes in counts hCl.Ilth I)hysicinns and nurses the ycar bas heen a hard one for the unit. 'Ve hayc had three different nurses within the year, Pittman had R change and wali tor several weeks wIthout a nurse, SevIe rvill e wns se "erat weeks without a nurse. The prese nt d octo r hn s been in yery poor health e,'er si nce he cnme.
Wbil e I do not doubt lhe wIsdom of continuing witb the Unit 1 do feel this year the work has been going on under difficulties. Wbenet'er there is any help available we are fmre vt getting OUr share nnd I feel we should contin u e with the Lnit.
It is rather of n surprise each year that the couuty court votes the necessary appropriation as nlwuys there are those who nrc 0I/posed but It passes with a good majority. It we gulne<l nothing more than the free serums and the help trom the county unit in holding large school clinics [ would say it wos worth whUe.
)fuch of the report ot this depe.rtment IS coyered in the report On industrial work.
Mi ss Redding has hod one high school class in wcaylng. 'I'his c lass meets encb day one double period. Little is done by these girls for lJlarket but pra ctically all the time is used for definite Instruction In wea ,'lng, pa tlfrns. colors, etc.

In of the 11lrge umount ot weu"ing we hnd on halH1 ia'lt foIllln· mer and carll' foil we found it almost iml)OsslbJe to keep up wIth ttle Christmas orders. School did not OlleO until September and that lett little time to prepare for the unusually large amount of bUSiness. After Christmas there WAS time to work out some new things and this sunt· mer we hnve some r cnlly lo,-e ly weaving in the Shop_
Ouring thc ycnr we sent se"cral exhibits away and tound that the work from our sc hool compared well with that from other well known places. Tile Mountain Conference in Knoxville made much of the mountain industri es. While there may not be mu c h tlnu'Ilclol profit in sending these there Is a certain amount of ad"ertising done and we also are showing our Interest In the ruounLain work.
The tlnnncial system ot this year has helped to carry this tremendous increase ot business, yet it has not been perfect by any means a.ud r am sure that the d etulled report ot Miss Hedding explui'lls every· thing. Also It was ImpossiJ)le to do all we would have Uked to tor time was not to be had Before Christmas all who could devoted prne· tically all their time to this work and e,'en then found it Imposs iule to keep up with the orders or with the products. 'Vith one definitely In charge next full and with the finan c ial system so we can sta rt out out in a businesslike wny at once 1 feel sure we will carry the deport· ment much better.
The business cnn be carried much better when we have more rOom tor shipping, for finished produ c ts and for materials.

tourists who came but also took over all correspondence and shipping. It not only was a wonderful reliet to us who had been doing it aU but the financial results were beyond f'xp ec tations. With the first of SePtember, the !:;hop closed and ba skets, weaving, chairs and stools were again deposited In the attic, the basement. the offices, the upstairs hall and the girls' trunks in the Teacher's Cottage. Visitors and customers continued to visit us and always when we were the deepest in dally work.
From September 1 to January 1 we shipped from here nearly $10,000 worth of products. It took the combined efforts of Miss Red· ding, Miss Allen and myself. to say nothing of those who packed baskets. Had there been room in the house for another person we surely would have had one to he,lp but we were too crowded to put another person in the office.
Lois 'Rogers returned the middle of April and we surely were delighted to see her. We closed the kindergarten work two weeks early in ord e r to be able to open a Gift Shop, called the Arrowcraft Shop That was the onLy place available and really our room, ergarten room, made a very attractive shop. Eugenia Dilworth, of Austin, comes the first of June to help Lois, and at that time the gIrls wlU mo\' e the shop back in the Stuart Cottage. It would be better to "have it on the road but we cannot plan on using the agriculture bUilding until we know more definitely whether it wiU have to be used the snme in the fnll. We are sure, however, that there must be a person here all the time to manage the industrial work.
During the summer months the Arrowcraft girls purchased $3,131.43 and sold $3,990.76. From September to May the School bought $9,274 .89 and shipped $13,864 . 16. Of course a good deal was returned at the end of the club yeat! -but this gives some idea of the amount of business done.
Wbile the new bu s iness system was not entirely satisfactory any ot the time it was such an impro,'e ment over the old way that I feel we never could have carried an under old conditions and I feel sure, too, that another year we will be able to have things go satisfactorily
SUGARLANDS
Sugarlands, like Gatlinburg bas to b e conSidered on tbe twelve months basis, rather than on the eIght months school term.
During the summer of 1926 Miss Chew bad adult classes and as early as July I, she and Cora McCarter commenced school, teaching n half day session until the county school opened the middle ot July. From the middle ot .July to September tha girls carried on a fuU program, night school classes aud all the h ouse work. This made entir e ly too heayy a schedule. In S epte mbe r, Martha Flowers came. She was to look after the house in the morning, prepare the noon meal u !1 d t"nch two hours i n t !J.{' a(tC' rn oon wh ' I :- Cbew did (' Om-
munUy work and beld some adult classrs. This was carcied out after a fashion through the year but was not entirely satisfactory. It was upsetting to the teachers and tully OR much SO to the pupils to ha ve their day divided up in thnt manner.
The nlgbt classes were well attended, they require much prepara· tiOD as it is impossibl e to secure sutltifnctory text books for that kind ot teaching. After eac h e\'clling closs there WIi!; n period ot recreation, all three teachers helping with thnt. Havmg school from eight in the morning until nine-thirty at night mRy Dot sound like so much but on the weeks that Miss Chew hud to be up at live o'clock to prepare brcnktast Jt proved to be a whole lot. The community work and adult teaohlng could easily tnke all the time of onc person.
But tbls was only 8 port ot the worry, the new schoolhouse was not completed t.'1ltll atter Christmas. The county did not want to put repairs into the old building so bitter winter weather found the girls teachlng in a room with practically no wlndow panes, a house 80 trail that on very windy days sc hool hnd to be dismissed in satety to the children. Finally window panes put in but it was a j oy wben school tinally was mOlTed into the new build lug.
In addition to this wn s the anxiety r egardi ng the 'l'eacher's Cottage. But tor the promise made to the people I <loubt It we would have tried to buUd before spring. 'l'he r on ds \vere terrible, no one wanted to take the job, the local men wonted ""ork by the day but none ot them could supervise or read the plans. Finally two m e n trom Untllnbur&' snld they would take th e job , u s ing some Sugariands men, if Mr. Mattll would help them. ]0 this way the collage was tinally completed. Tlhe house is very attrncth-e and couYenient and while it has cost more than planned It hns cost less than any contract price submitted. The building bas made a hole In our tinances but I think It probably Is better to have buUt well in the beginning.
During this summer Helen Chew is continuing night classes and the people oave a community gathering each Saturday night. Miss Steele continues her Home Economics class with the women and Mr_ Mnttll makes trequent visits in the community.
The county bears the expense ot two teachers and the state has allowed quite a Ut.eral amount toward the adult work 'so the running expenses ot the Sugarlands Extension are not SO heavy.
Miss Chew Is not sure she c an return another year but it she 1s able to, I teel she should bave full time for adult and community work. Two teachers can take care ot the school work It is necessary to have an eJ:.perleneed teacher and n Pi Phi in the school. We have no one on the GatlLnburg statt who could be trnnsferred to this place and put in charge ot the Extension
Not only trom my obserYotions here but in what I have gathered trom attending conferences have I been convinced that Helen Chew Is cnrr"ing on one of the be-st pieces ot adult education and community

THE ARROW OF PI BnA PHI
A man tor high school teaohing and princIpal. Garage built.
This year ha8 caused n good many worries out of the reglllar school work.
There has been a question of property line that has caused a law suit thnt Is not settled. It hns been necessary to resurvey the Sims place.
The great worry bas been the Sugarlnnlls Cottage. It was not possible to get anyone to take the contract tor less than around $6,000. In fact DO one wanted to do it for even that us ronds were bad, it was difficult to get materials in and few men wAnted to undertake the rock work. Finally two Gatlinburg men snit) they would do it, using what Sugnrlands labor they could, providing Mr. Mattil would supervise it all. The cottage was completed in January and Is convenient, attractive und very comfortable. The expenses ho\'e run about $500,00 above what I figured they would and -by using a little cheaper material we could have savcd about that much. In the long run we wUl be glad of the cottage as it is , but now nnd during the past winter it has been a great \JIg burde.n financially.
With this experience it Is platn we must go slowly in regard to th e school building at Gatlinburg. 'All estimates have been far beyond anythtng we could consider. While there was one of $24,000 without heating nnd plumbing the otherA all ran -between $50,000 and $65,000. These did not luc1uue u community hall. Mr. White feels now that probably a group of small buildings would be better and Is working on them now. They eQuid be ,milt much cheaper and quieker and may solve our problem. We do need more room but surely we must not consider spending such large sums, even if we had them. I am sure a ll would rather wait even longer and finally get a plan that will call for R buildlng within our means.
In closlng my report I want again to thank the committee for the splendid support and cooperation. Our problems are many, the School has grown beyond any ea r ly dreams and the development Is the result of the splendid service given by those Pi Phis on the committee and away from the School who conUnu<" to llnt'e such a deep interest in the work.

Report of Alpha Province President
HE personal contact which I. such an Important factor In the wOrk or
ma11 Province Presid en ts with their c hapte rs was established during the time or my tint chapter vlsillng, and strengthened again eoon arter college opened last tall when all chapters In Alpha Province were visited (or the second Um e by me. This peraonal contact has alae been steadily malntalned. and toatered by a weekly Interchange or lettera between the chapters and their Province President. The &arne bond of sympathy nd 10tere.t I. also very apparent between the actlve chaptera, their advLlory (.ommitleea and their alumn." and as In the case or Vermont 0 their Mother'a Club.
DUring the lut two years, one cf OUT highest alms haa bf'en tor each chapter to try to develop nationally and internally, f or the willing acceptance of Individual responslbl1lt) , and to have \!very girl In the c hapter a.ctlve on an active committee.
At tho close of the last college )'ear, each c hapter was asked to send In t o me an unofficial report or th(: year's wurk. with c rltlchlnU for improvement and of methods used. A copy was also filed away by each c hapter. The In comin g officers thi s yea r found these rePOrts Invaluable In avoidIng pitfalls and in continuing the growth and developm e nt of last year.
The girls have been very earnest In trying to Improve their scholarship. This 18 shown not only In their o wn s tuflyillg, but In their attitude toward the scholarship of their rushees, and th ei r sp l endid help to the P:edgea. Each c hapte r has worked out a very L'Btis(actor y pledge study. This 18 one of the most ImpOrtant 8leps In th e develcpment of a c hapter tor changing the standards of a: chaPter can only be brought about through the new inItiat e., n e ver the seniors.
This year the eight c hapters of Alpha Province maintained three Chapter h ou8es, three apartments. one l og cabin and one large room f er meetIngs and entertainments. The alumnle o f Massachuse tts A and Vermont n are serlou81y considering financing hous es (or th u lr ('hapters this summer, 2'lnce In both cases the dormitory situation Is quite acute.

HE put two yea r s have brou ght me In cOnlar t with e ight active c ha-p-

'fhe c h apte rs of Gam ma Province have been most fo rtun ate during the past tw o years, tor each c hapter has r eceived CDC visit trom a member o f G r a nd Council. Laet year Mrs. Ives visited Col umbia :\, Ma r yland A, V i rginia A, Virginia B, and North Carolina A. This yea r Misa Whil e visited the two FlOrid a chapters, and Virginia r In every case th e visit wa s a pleasure t o the chapte r , and th e good v e r y obvious.
In the ea r ly tall o f 1925. V irg inia r was Installed at 'Vllli am and Mary College. In the two years since l ast Convention, this chupter h as Juetlflcd the faith that II U'" had In It, and has m ade geod flrogress. Maryland A should also be compltmcnted for the great Im provement It has made In the past two years.
The scholarship ot this p r ovince is average, North Ca r olina A holdin g the o nl y rlrst p l ace. Gamma Province has had thr ee Phi Beta Kappas, and th e r e has been all Increase In the Interest in Improving scholars h ip, whi c h I. very encou r aging .

Although two o f the chapt e rs havo debts, a syst e mati c plan ot paym e nt has been m ade , and the finan c ial condition o f all the c ha p ters In the prov i n ce Is sound.
Five Adviso ry Committees are fun c tioning, and have given mu c h t o the active c hapt e rs. The other three chapters are pra.ctically without Advi so ry Committees. Thi s Is not du e to an y tault oC th e girls, but to untortunate circumstances.

R e por t of Del ta P r ovi n ce Presid en t
last Convention It has been my pleasure to visit all the chapter", of Delta Province twi Ce and to be present at the In s ta11aUon of Ken· luc ky A Semi-'l1lonthly correspOndence has kept me In close t o u ch with each c hapter throughout each year.
With Michigan B located at one of our great universities, Indiana D. r, a.nd .d in smaller ones and Michigan A, Kentucky A and Tennesse e A In still smaller Institutions, the COnditions are so varied' that It is ImposIItble to compare them In many ways, but each one has measured up to the highest standards of its college and Is a chapter ot which n B 4> ma y be VHY proud.
Conferences with the Deans of Women were most satisfactory. Each reported that the local chapter WQ8 one of the most, 1f not th e most promInent organization on campus. Each chapter hc.ld a record of conduct, ce· operation and Bpirlt that was beyond criticism.
The schola.rshlp record Is not as high as It should be, as we are endeavorlnl!t to have each chapter first on Its campus. Michigan A has led on Its campus for thirteen semesters; Indiana A, tor twelve; and Tennessee A, tor three. )'lIchlgan B came up to fifth among twenty-one fraternities, and clalme three Phi Beta Kappas. Indiana t1 has one <I> B K. The other four have done well and are strIving to Join the grOUPl:I that hold first place.
3ix of the chapters a.re living In spltmdld homes. Mic higan A, Michigan B. Indiana B. and Indiana. .1 own theirs, whIle Indiana A and Indiana r rent adequate oncs. The charming cottages or Kentucky A and Tennessee A provide places for meetings and Informa1 social atfain. Indiana 6 has acquired a lovely new heme this year. It Is a real credit to the chapter and Purdue. The Slrls are very grateful to the alumme, who have made the purchase possibil'!.
Corresi>Ondence with the chapters has very successfu l and has kept me In close touch with them. Reports been prompt, and there seems to be a keen desIre on tbe part at each chapter to have a good re cord In this respect
Adviso r y Boards have tunctloned very well. The only one that was not well organized this year hag recently become so. Only one chapter has tailed to enjoy the relationship, and receive the benefits to be derived from cooperation with its Advisory Board In all the others th e relationship is quIte Ideal. I have tound that the strongest chapters are the ones that ke ep In closC!lt touch with their Advisory Boards, tor these older PI Phis are a.ble to help the chapters solve their problems, and the chapters profit thereby. Too much cannot be said In appreciation of the time and interest given by these alumne throughout the province.
Several Mothers' Clubs have been organized, and they have been a great help to the chapters in many ways Th e ir Interes t has at all Urnes been very apparent, and the gifts trom them which I tOund In several ot the houses are tangible proof that they, too, are working tOr II B". The chapterd have been universally fortunate in the choice of chaperon•.
In all cases the tlnanclal statu8 Is satisfactorY. Contributions to the Settlement School have been made by each one, and some have worked out novel ways tor raising the money.
For years the four Indiana chapters have been celebrating Founders' Day togethflr with a state luncheon and dance. Thi8 year the two Mi c hlga.n chapters and alumnte ot the state met In Detroit for a luncheon. The Detroit Alumnae Club memberl!! were hostesses, and Miss Onken and Mrs. Stebbins were the I!!peakers trom out o'f the etate. The affair was a: great success:, And a slmUar one is planned for next year. This marks a very progressive step In the wuk ot n B" In Michigan. It Is the hope of the Province President that Kentucky A a.nd Tennessee A may be able to get

together In the P'me way aoon, and that eventually the entire province can Hlebrate together.

I have tried to point out to my chapters the Importance of J1lIItlfyln,. their ulatence u STOUps, and have urged them to be toree tor creal 1'004 In their respective college&, Indicating that the more they cave of th e mselves to the college. the fraternity and any with whom lhey came In contact, the more lhey would be living the IIvea o t true PI Beta Phi., and that their greatHt Joy would come In aerv lng otherL
The chaptera have been deluged with hononl All h old ImPGrtant otrlcell In colle,. a'rld cIa organization., and have m e mbershlpe In variou8 boards and cabinets. Jt would be ImpoSSible to enumerate all of them, but J would like to mention that Michigan A, In addition to having the echolanhlp cu p, clalma the prea ldent of the Y.W .C.

Tennessee A won the Queen ot fIIumlnation night, along with other honora.
It was a pleaaure to vblt the petitioning group at Olrmln&ham-Southern and to r ecommend It to the fraternity.
It la Impo ll8lble tor me to tell hew mu('h 1 appreciate the loyalty and cooperation at my chapters.

I fe e l that th e past two yea rs h ave shown decided and steady gain In strength tor Epsilon Province Last year we made a good scholarship record and this year we have h opes that It wlli b e even b e tter. FOr the tirst s e m es t e r the grades did not ceme up to m y e xpectati o n s at a ll , although Illin ois tt. brought her grades up trom l ast place to tirst place, whi c h was splendid · 'Vhat the r esul t s o f the second 3:!mcs ter Will be of cou r se I can n o t tell this time, but if a nd COnstructi v e methods ot supervised study are of any ava il we s h ould do \\'e ll. Our aim ter Breezy Point is to bring as ou r contribu tion 100 0/0 first plac e s In scholarship. Expectations unfortunately are not always r ealiz e d , but the girls are working h a rd f or this one. All of my chapters, wh ere it Is at all possible, have supervised study f c r pledges a nd so me of the chapters ha v e adopted m y sugges tion of having actives, whose grades are be!ow standa rd attend supervised study hours also; Mlnne!;ota A has almost conti nu a l study h OUr In th e unive rsit y li b rary : Their scho larship and that of Illin o i s E are matte r s of muc h concern to m e. Last year Minnesota A raised Its r an k se v e ral pclnls and gained over the otl1e r groups very remarkably and w e Are ju s tl y proud of th em. Illinois E also ca m e up from ninth place to fourth , th e high es t th ey have b een In several years. We h ope they both will d o as weH If n c t better this lIemes t c r.

The c haperons have coo1lera ted In ev e ry way and are all kee nly Interested In the welfar e ot the girls, and full y alive to the ir responSibilities.
As f or ex tra-c urricular h onors I feel we have measured up t o the standard n <I> has set f o r us.

REpORTS of OFFIC(RS
In addition to well organIzed and active Advisory BoardlJ, the Inter-em of the alumna! tor the welfare of the ch&pters Is very. fine and moat cemmendable. In eve r y town the "alums" are constantly doing lovely things t o r the girls In the chapter and It Is their suppo rt and the help ot the Advisory Boards that 115 In a good measure respo nsibl e tor the success ot the chapters. 1 think It Is particularly tine that North Dakota alumnre are 80 wonderCul to the girls, when you think or their small numbers and the distance they are trom large alumn'" clubs and othe r chapters.
Both yeara have been unusually successful (or 811 of my chaPters In rushing, in fact lut year we had auch r emarkable pledges that I teared the pendulum might awing the other way this yea r: bui on the contrary, J round on my visits this yea r history r epeati ng Itsel!, and we had another year or splendid rushing with no Panhellenlc dlUlculties In either year,
May I take this opportunity to thank my national fraternity tor the very great privilege of serving her In the capacity ot province ctflcer and to exp r ess my sincere appreciation ot the assistance and cooperation ot my Ad· vlsory Boards, alumna'! and chaperons. The loyalty, cooPeration and cour t esy ot my chapters have been perfectly wonderful.

Report of Eta Province President
mWO years o f compan io n ship with the six c hapters ot Eta. P r ovince are • drawing to a c l ose. For the Province President and fer the c hapters the goal of those two years haa been a m \) r e j oyou. and abundant lite In fraternity Idealism. And to that end some progress has tulsuredly been made. I believe that the mOllt worthwhile dfovelopment In the tw o years has been the changed attitude in several chapters toward. pledges and the re.ultlng spirit ot comradeship and servi ce in th ose group.. The m ost seri ous problem of active chapters t o my mind Is their wand e rin, from the frat e rnal Ideal so tar that true trlend8hlp and li.re outshadowed by o th e r Inter ests.
By an accumulation ot Interest or by the new Inspiration o f aPProaching Convention a high tid e at ambition bu been reached this 8p ring In almost aU the chapte rs. Three chapters are sacrificing perSOnal In te rests In large ways 80 that th e Balfour cup may be theirs In the co ming two years.

Of the six c hapte ra in th e province, three are l ocated in state unlversltiel!l. one In a w o man's coll e ge. one In a n a gri c ultural and mechanical college, and one in a Methodist university. Fiv e or the IIlx colleges are co-educational and have many points or similarity 80 that the c hapters have much the 8ame problems with whi c h to deal. Four chapters m ai ntain hcuse s. Newcomb College and Southern M e thodi s t University have legillation against sirl. living In frate rnity houses.
Tht. year has been a year o r continued p rogreu re r Theta Province, a'nd I beli e ve that the girls have felt their individual responsibility more than ever berore .

In eve ry Instan ce, I have tried to put scholarship tlrst and to Impre88 upon the girls the tact that they must meet the high scholarship standard whi ch th e fraternity has set t e r them. Four c ha v ters have made good records this year whil e the reports trom two chapters have not been Quite 80 pleasing.

SOme try to meet thla sltuaUon by having Uttle bualnesa as po•• lble; other. by working up varied programs of current Interest; othere by having luncheon. and bridge parties: some by working In groupe toward the goal ot Settlement School or active chapter Interel'lill. or course we need a ''balanced diet" and neither all WOrk nor all play, but Isn't our particular Interest as PI Phis In the background or hlatory. and the future or object of OUt traternlty. It la those two things wblch JualitY our e.zlatence.
We all belong to literary clubs, music clubs and luncheon-bridge club. but theec are PI Beta Phi alumna! clubs so let us try to make that lIubJect Interesting and vital. There Is alwaYII something new to learn about OUr traternity and much that Is old which could well be retreshed In Our mlnda.

Since lut Convention we have been w e rking tor increased membership, and we tei'll rewarded, In that the membership has rlae n tram 1$50 tor the two yean betore la s t Convention to 834 tor the two years sInce Convention. We have strive n t o r II. 100 f/'o membership enrollmen t In each club. and though that is a goa.l difficult tc attain, seven clubs have achieved success! Caspe r, Pueblo, Cheyenne, Manhattan, Poudre Valley, Salt Lake, and Topeka. The Manhattan C lub also holds an e nviable r eco rd In having a attendance at Its meetings. The Lin coln Club Is to be congratul ated on winning the province award t(:lr Increased m e mber.hlp on a percentage basi. each of the last two years. Several club. nave won alJBoclate members since hUlt Convention through their etforts In Interesllng Isolated alumna.
S e tUement Sehool contributions are also In c r ealflng well, having advanced tram n,776.46 during the last InterIm at Convention. to $4,336.03 In the two yean eince Convention. We are very proud ot the ehe ac.tlve chaptere tor giving $900.00 at thie amount. Ot the clubs, Wichita ranked tirst In per capita contribution to the School last year, and Caeper and Lincol n tied tor tlret place this year. AmOng the active c hapter. Colorado A gave the largeet amount to the Schocl jut Year, and this year Kansae A headed Lhe lilt. I wou ld recommend to clubs the uee or the Settlement School slide. and a. dleplay ot the products or the Arrow c ratt shop to give member. a mOre peracnal Interest In the Sehec!. One club, alter eeeing the Settlement School .lIdes, wrote, "We aU reel w e are working tor IIOmethl ng real now."
Chapters and clubs have cooperated well In the laet two yean and are becoming Inc.reulngly Interelted In one anothe r.

The monthly letters trom clube have been a very r eal help and Inspir_ ation to me In keeping In touch with the work or each club. I am beginning to teel that I know the Individual members of the club, In an Intbnate way, and they In tu rn are responding to their dullet and reeponalbltltlee willinglY and loyally.
The crea.teat problem ot all clubs seems to be In Interesting mOre alumna, In havln the real work ot the club don e by the many Inltead o r the

It Ie for each Interested alumna to win one who Is uninterested, It is tor the membership committee to work untiringly, It Ie (or Ihe club offlcera to see that the Inac tive. are put to work, it Is (Or the program committee to make the meetings increasingly Interesting.

The c lub at Norman. Oklahoma. did net pay dues the past yea r The president elected 1a,t spring was unable to tUl the ottice and repeated e t· torts on my part and lellera trom N iss \Vhit e tailed to bring about a re·Or· ganlzatlon. The Enid, Okla" c lub paid dues, but h as s inc e returned It I char· ter The reason for this was that th e leaders In the club had moved away and those r emaining did not care to ce ntinu e.
To o ffset the Joss at these two clubs two new on e s have been charte red. Both are small but enthusiastic. One Is at Shreveport, La., and th e other at Fayetteville. Ark. The Shr e " eport group has had one meeting to Interm I(sell abuut the Settlement School.

The Fayettevllle club w as net chartered until March, but has s hown a spirit at cooyera ti o n both with the traternlt y a nd the c hapt e r, which makes me expect big things tram Its members.
I am at a complete loss t o account tor th e small co ntributions to the S e ttlement School f'ri:m th is p r ovince. Three or four give app r ox imately $5 per capita. Several others give $2 o r $3 but several give nothing at all. The cl ubs seem intereeted In the School and In th e fraternity. They are extremely ac tive In rushing and cooperate with th e active chapters and t h e nallo n al ottlcers moat satisfactorily.

Report of Kappa Province Vice President
mHE clubs in KIlPPa. Province have been very prompt In their r e sponses • and have shewn a splendid spirit of cooperation since I have been In oftlce, consequently I have been able to direct more efforts toward org.a.nlzlng new groupe. Four clubs have been added In the last two years, San Diego, Honolulu, San Prancisco and Phoenix, and I hope t o hear before going to Breezy Point that Fresno and Sacramento have joined the ranks. These latter Pi Phis held Founders' Day celeb rations and are eage r to have clubs but are meeting with a lIUle c-ppositlon. Stockton PI Phla had a lun cheo n on May 7, and while there are only seven resident girls, they are very loyal and n o doubt will organize as 800n as a lew more are added to their grouj). Bakcrsrleld girls celebrated Found e rs' Day last year, but the majority ot their handful ot girls moved away 80 they did not mee t this yea r , Palo Alto, Glendale and Santa Monica shc'uld also have clubs, and perha'Ps by the tim e ot the Convention In 1929 th ey will be realiti es,
Thel'c has not been a great Increas e In membership In the province, but with o ne exception. the clubs have gained sllghUy and have shown a whol e8C'me Interest In their work for the Settlement School. Nearly all have magazine agencies and 8ell Arrowc ratl products and the majority raise their large donations by bridge l eas. The Berkel ay and San Pranclsco c1ub8 he!d rwnmage sales which realized large sums of money.
Miss La Verne ot "Sun Up" gave a benellt lor the Sett l ement School during her engagement In San Francisco and over $200 was raised, Mlu La Verne's devotion t o the mountain people and Intense Interest In the Sett!ement School shou ld be an Inspiration to al1 of us. We of the San Franc isco Bay reglo{l feel very grateful to her tor h e r help and encou r agement.
All the clubs have been urged to send del egates to Convention that they may bring back the e nthusiasm and th e progressive fraternal sj)lrlt ot n D

MI NU1 'ES O F ME ET I NG OF G R AN D COUNCIL
Council held its annual meeting at Breezy Point Lodge, Pequot, Minnesota, from June 20 through June 26, • 1927. During the last two days joint meetings were held with the Settlemerit School Committee, the Province Vice Presidents and the Province Presidents.
The first work undertaken by the Grand Council was the completion of unfinished business for the year. This was followed by a careful study of the an,nual and the convention reports of all officers and committee chairmen, such consideration proving a dependable basis for a clear comprehension of conditions exi sting throughout the fraternity. After giving detailed attention to those reports of deans and of officer s which related directly to the status of the chapters during the past year and after outlining plans for the further assistance and progress of the active organization, several problems of the fraternity were discussed. Their analysis resulted in the formulation of twenty-two recommendations to be presented to Convention and in the passage of the following motions relative to the Statutes of the Fraternity:
That Stat. IX, MISCELLANEOUS, be amended by inserting Section 7 to read:

V, Section 3, NOTICE OF HONORABLE DISMISSAL, be amended by striking out tho words, "to all national officers," and by in serting the words, "to the Grand Counci l, the Cataloguer, the Province Presidents and all chapters within three days after formal expulsio n ," so that the sect ion sha ll read:
Notice ot honorable dismi ss al sha ll be sent, by the c hapter concer ned, to the Grand Counc il, the Cntuloguer , the Provin ce Presidents nnd all chapters within three days fitter formal expulsion.

During th e joint meetings with the Province Presidents due consideration wa s given to the subject of chapter visi ts and ways for increas ing their value . It wa s decided that each Province President, before making her annual visits, should learn from her chapters and their Advisory Committees wheth er vi sits of more than two days seemed necessary o r advisable, and should endeavor to schedule her trip according to the need s of her province. A d es ire expressed by chapters for written repo rts following official visits was met with the decision that inspecting officers sho uld return s uch r eports to the chapters.
The o utlin e for the standardization report was also studied, and a committee of Province Presidents was appointed to revise its valuations and to formulate recommendations that sho uld increase the effectiveness. Various general problems, policies and standards were tho roughly cliscussed.
A fter final arrangements had been made for the conduct o f Convention, the annual meetihg of the Grand Council adjourned.

Much attention was given the Survey and Standardization report for 1926-27. The conclusion reached was not to refer this data to chapters, but to request Province Presidents to make a general survey based on the committee 's work, and further to refrain from publishing the detailed reports of the highest two chap ters in each province.
The policy of the fraternity in regard to extension in the next two years, as it applies to specific groups, was formulated. For Delta Phi at the University of Manitoba and Ero Alphian Society at Michigan State College, Grand Council in structed the Extension Committee to make further investigation; for Sigma Phi at Rollins College. Winter Park , Florida to expre s s interest; for Pi Rho Phi at Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania to send an official representative; to adopt a neutral attitude toward Sigma Delta at the University of Maryland; to discourage the group at Southern College, Lakeland, Florida, and to discourage definitely and finally the groups petitioning from Miami ·University, Oxford, Ohio, Witte nburg College, Springfield,

It was agreed that the chairman of the Committee on Fraternity Study and Examinati o n should have the duty, now definitely expressed, of seeing that each initiate into a new chapter be required to pass a pledge examination within six weeks after her initiation; repetition being necessary until satisfactory accomplishment is reached.
In administering the $50,000 End o wment Fund Drive voted through by Twenty-eighth Biennial Convention, the Kansas City Alumme Club was selected to carry out the work. The time for commencing action, the selection of a chairman, the accepting of plans, the printing of all materials, the manner of collecting the money, as well as the anticipated size of contributions was carefully discussed.

PBR flAPS lI1C most interes ting thing whi c h your Extension Commiuee hus to report to you at this time Is Lhut three local grOups hlH-e completed their preliminary work and nre rcady to petition this 'Convention tor charters In PI Beta Phi. These groups have submitted Informutton to c'-ery chuptcr of our fraternity tor their consideratlon; they bo\'c been In s pected by the two nearest chapters. by the PrO\' luc e President and by n m e mber of Grand Council, nnd In every case both group and college 1I8\"C been endorsed 8S a desirable extension ftele!. These groups arc: Alpha Tau Zeta of the Southern Branch ot the University of CalifornIa; Zetn Chi Delta ot the University ot South Dakotn; and Theta Plot Birmingham-Southern L\liverslty, at Birmingham.
In addition to these three groups, your Extension Committee has been In touch with others , hl ch are expected to prove very desirable but which were not considered quite ready for nationalization and which bad to give precedence to the groups which were considered stronger. Zeta Epsilon Chi, which has been me ntioned in previous reports and which Is of particular Interest because of its location fit Monmouth College, has, with other local groups, s ucceeded in obtaining faculty consent to nationalization. The group has been In communication with your Extension Committee and with traternlty officers but It was thought best that it not be allowed to present n petition to this Convention a ltho ugh the group may be ready ,"ery soon thereafter
Delta Phi at the {inll'cratty ot Manitoba, Winnipeg, Cnnada, has accomplished a great deal in the past two years and shows e"ery indication ot developing Into an unusually strong group. The preliminary Information will be assembled in the tall and investigation started, In order that its members may, it they meet with approval, present their petition at the next Convention.
The Ero Alphlan Society fit Michigan State Col1ege has been In touch with the traternity for sel' eral years and has refused to be discouraged. These girls are "ery enthusiastically endorsed by severa l individual Pi Phis but ha"e never been able to get the support at the two nearby chapters and until they can gain that support they cannot go on with their work.
Sigma Pbl at Rollins College, \Vinter Park, Florida, has been in communication with our fraternity tor two years but has been told that it connot petition any time soon because ot opposition to the college at this time and the uncertainty of its tuture. Jnqulries have develope-d the general opinion that the college bas made unusual progress In the last tew years and it Is considered probable that a short tlme wUl change conditions materially. Confidence In the tuture ot the
institoUon is telt by a member of Grand Council who "fslted the co l l ege aDd it these expectations materialize Phi may dc\"clop Into a d esi rabl e group.

Report of Health Committee
S1919 wben Grand C01l1lcil appointed a Health Committee under the able chairmanship of Dr. Edlib Mnl1.ke, the aim of the committee bas been a closer C'oop2 fation between active chapters and alumna"! clubs In working (or n COlllDon Ideal of individual health and expressed in n definite health standard.
Each year i ettcl'S ha,-e gone to ench c haptel' find eHch alun:mre club askin.: that some definite time be gil'en In olle Or morc meetings to a discussion of whnt Is considered Que ot most pressing problems of the day. and one that sho uld interest each member ot the fruternlty. namely health. 'l'he indh-ldunl henlth of the mcmhcrs ot the chapter goes to make n cha.pler standard. The inle rC.!"t or the niumnce, whether as individuals or as a group, should extend lJeyond their own and their chapters' well -being to what their are dOing to train the undergraduates in a knowledge of the underlying principles of healthy living. Such interest cannot but help raise the health standards among college women, and through them sp r ead to lh'o!ir communities
Necessary and important as are discussions of health habits nud the framing of byglenlc rules for li'Ving in chaPter houses and out of them, the committee feels that sUll more importAllt Is a linking together of the whole fraternity into u unified body working towards O'ile aim: the attainment of it H ealth Ideal.
The topic suggested for discussion in the leUers to the acth'c chapters last year wus: "The Id eal Fraternity Womau, and how that Id eal may be attained." 'I'he answers given by the thirty-eight chapte rs that r espo nded to the requ est that a resume of their discussiO'll be forwarded to the Health Committee were intensely intel'estlng. It i s possible only to quote parts of a tew. Nearly all. who answered made h ea lth the foundation sto ne tor the ideal. "Only with a healthy, well-developed, and well cared for body can the' individuni meet life with courage and joyousn ess and be sure of living Ufe to the fullest." "O ur chapter has tound thnt girls of good hCillth are not necessarily those who nre most robust or rosy-looking but those who take constant good care ot themselves in all smull personal ways. They nrc rarely bothered with petty Illnesses, and are in the l ong run tho&! who arc the most active in the chapte r. all the campu s, and those who really get the most out ot tlleir college Ufe nod their associations at l.'O lIege. They are capable both mentally and physically of grasping all that the fraternity stands for , and the full significance of its ideals, and in living up to those id ea ls create a good and beautiful self " Many of the c hapters speak of the excellence of the stud e nt healtlt services in their colleges, the 8upcnision of dOrmitories nnd dini'llg halls, nnd the hea lth regulatlons that the hygiene and phys:cal education departments issue to r the guidance of students. Without d o ubt, JUuny co ll eges are meeting their respomslbUitles in l'('gnrd to the well-being ot Uulir st udents 10 an eminently sAtisfactory way, but are A U1 Oue chapte r places health

alongside ot scholarship and persortallty as one of the requirements to be desired In n prospective member of the fl'Bternity. Another c!:tnpter recognizes the plnce the fraternity m8y piny in II1ftlntntnlng health standards when it says , "Health is one of the important tactors In « 8ucL"essful life. Girls arc so apt to o\'crlook: health tbat the task bos fallen to their fraternity." That the tllscusslou wa:; ot practical ,,"alue was evidenced in many letters, some citing the cases of students whose health bablts had Improved, following t.he discussion. Others said that has gained something from the discussion." Another chapter says, "We tecl that Is is n very good Iden to discuss such things otten, nnd to keep them foremost in our minds In ord e r better to apply them." Many chapters hove a. health cbairmnn nnll colllmittee and do good work in the way of maintaining high health standards in the fraternity house and among individulll members. The proulem of the city chapter without a chapter home is more diffir.:ult, l>ecause the group is not 80 amE"nnbJe to rules, and individual effort is alwnys more difficult than group endeavor. One chapter has the points that the health committee would most emphasize, in expressing the melhods for best attaining the ideal sought." 1. '1'hrough the formntion of group attitudes and personnl realization of responsibility. 2. By constructh'e criticism from the alumnre. 3. By cOOperc:tiOl1 wi til altlllln!l! and college officIals. 4. By de,'elopment of a constructive progrum the fraternity in which lndll"idunls make a consci(.ous effort to strengthen their weak points."
The interest and response on the part of the ulumno: clubs to the required health meeting hns been s omewhnt discouraging. A smu ll number of duus plan for and enjoy n h ealth meeting each year. At these meetings outside sPE'nkers introduce ht!nlth WI}it:s of local Or geue ral interest and dl.iCusslou usually follows; or one or more members read papers or lend round table discussions ou som e timely topic which proves of more or less interest to those present. The vast majority of clubs, however, seem ignorant of th·e ril.ct thltt a hClIllh meeting shou ld be included In their year's program, aud sOPle llrc quite "at sea" as to how such a meetmg sbould be conducted. In ,"lew o t this attitude It seems appropriate at this time to review bri€!tly the aims or the Health Committee nnd to oUer practical suggCl:ltJons tor the cooperation or c lub s and chaopters.
It is impossible Cor a ymaU committee composed of very busy womto kC('p ia close touch with seventy-one and one hundred and thirty alumnIf' clubs, A torm letter at the -beginning ot each year Is sent out to each chapter and club, followeu by lDdlvldual answers to any queries that may come from the torm letter, asking for infor· mation or help in the matter of IJreparlng a progrum. In addition, letters are sent to the Provl.nee Presidents and Province Vice Presidents suggesting ways and means of carrying out the program, and outlinlng the policy ot the committee. In thiS way it Is hoped that the
w ork ot the Health Committee may be kept beto r a the fraternity. and that all members may feel some responsibility In furthering Its prog· ress .
•\1 tbe 192t Convention ot Charlevoix. the secretary ot the committee outlined the niDlI:i ot the Henlth Co mm ittee. Rnd the chairman gave an inspiring nddress upon what IDOl' be accomplished in Ou r fraternity f or the promot ion of h C'ulth through a wbole-hearted coope ratl on on tbe part ot a ll fraternity members . Br ietl}" the program Is 8S t ollows : Under tbe di r ection ot Grnnd Council and with the hearty e nd o r sem ent of the fraternity In Con ' -enUon assembled, It wa s planned to include h " nltb as one of tbe Ideals towa rd s which m e mlJers of PI B eta Phi 811 0 ul<l s tr ive. The va lue of s u c h 0. program would be three-told, viz., 1. "ndE"f the H ea l th Committee. c hapters and clubs w o uld be orgnnb.ed and pledged to work ror dertnUe h ea lth sta nd ards. In chapte r s cou ld be easily accompllshed because o f t.hc close union of the chapter group, and the fact that in many of the co ll eges, h ea lth was being sU'es8Cd as n necessnry accompaniment of n successful college Ilfe. The a lu llln::e c lub 3 co uld aid U1C chapte r s through sy mpntheti c inte re s t and suppo rt in: wha t the co lleges were dolug for their students, and where hea lth serv ices were lacking o r Inadequate, co uld use th e ir influence 8S n graduate group In stirrlug np a towards the providing of suita bl e health ed u cation facilities. The clubs co uld also become Influential factors in the com muniti es In which they were placed by supportlng health m eas ures In the co mmunity , and helping rai se the h e alth e ;lu cational standards.
2.

BE present "'aUonol PanheUenlc Delegate was preceded In office, during the last interJm ot COOl' cotions, by May Laustleld Keller and Francese Evans both of whom represented the fraternlly with distinction. The Dnllas Conference, held January 4-8, 1926, was on tbe whole a constructive onc. National PaDhellenic Congress , at tbat time, took detinlte Action for the perulllzing of nny assoclnted fraternity whose chapter attempted to avoid compllance with local PanheUenlc regulations by resorting to legal methods should this action not be annulled by the natloual: It recommended the use of three types ot penalllcs, only. by local PanhelIenk'8 and outlined the approved time limit tor the enforcement of cach. It 8sked that tor two years 811 Pouh ell enics ad o pt short, open ru s hing seasons at the begionlng ot the college year, except where l ocal taculty rulings prevented their doing so. It prO\'lded tor surveys on c haperonage and its otOcial, college recogultion j on the cost of building and maintaining chapter houscs, on scholarship systems j On condiUons; and It in creased the annual dues or its ' members to twenty Ove dollars . PI Beta Phi was represented at this conference by 1-' rnnces 'Evans ]ves, Grand Secretary and N P C delegate, Amy BUrnham Onken, Gran d President, ond Ellen Cloire Kribs, tormer Theta Province President and delegate to the Editor's Conference. Local Pi Beta Phis, under the direction ot Edith DanJel Dyer, Vlrginltl A, presid e nt of Vallas Panhellenic, had a big part In the success ot the conference socially
The college yenr ot was marked by an excessively large number ot serious local Pauhellenic dltflculties, but that ot seems to have profited trom this experience as it has had comparatively tew and minor disagreements and penalties. Two Pi Beta. Phi chap.. tefi, 18st year, were given deterred pledge·day penalttes which, al· though they seemed excessive, were accepted and were abided by in a way which reflected credit upon the chapters. During the year Just closed, three chapters were reported to the Grand President tor viola· tlon ot rushing rules: one was excused from the penalty imposed when it was found that the violation had b een a universal one and anQtber was penalized by a board which was not acUDg In accordance with its own constitution for an offense which the chapter did not commit. Oklahoma B was given a heavy penalty tor alleged violation ot rules but was released tollowing the appeal of the case to Notional Paobel· IC'Il lc. The reg r ettab le national publicity given this case makes this special mention or I t seem necessary.

It they tailed to improve they were to be put C1l probation, but this was not tound n ecessary We have a committee, consisting ot one represen tative from each cla88 except the treshman. whi c h checks up on the grades, averages them, and Interviews l.nstructC1"s with the idea. ot h e lp!ng the girl In anyone subJect. These have done well In bringing up our gra1es, and our pledge grades could be bettered still more but we do n ot have Jurisdicti o n over th ei r study hours. For the highest freshman, we a &ehoJarshlp cup on which th e name of that high one is engraved. For I.nitialicn we demand an average ot 2.5, and trom our actives an average ot 3.

CONFIDENCE
If an automobile manufacturer were to substitute :ast iron where specifications called for steel he would have a difficult task in explaining that both belong to the same group of metals.
Or, if a jeweler attempted to substiLute a white sapphire for a diamond, the plea that ' both belong to the precious stone group would not serve as a satisfactory excuse.
Modern business rests upon a foundatIOn of confidence. Without it, the ultimate goal can n eve r be reached, regardless of product . Your contract wlith the L. G. Balfour protects you from substit ution. It is our const.mt effort to maintain a service that will inspire your confidence.
