It is, I be lieve, -an - advantage ;to -nave nxed- in the court the power to state that , a legislative-active is unconstitutional; but only provided that the power is exercised with the greatest wisdom and . self-restraint. If the courts con tinue to use it with the recklessness that has too often been shown in the nsst. it is almost inevitable, that efforts will be made to amend or abolish it; I know, for instance, that, as far as I am personally concerned, I earnestly hope to see in the next New York State Constitutional con vention provisions incorporated in the constitution which will enable the peo ple to decide, for themselves, by pop ular ballot after due deliberation, final ly and without appeal, what the law of the land shall be in cases such as those I have mentioned, where the courts of the state have refused to allow the people to establish justice and equity. "I am sure' that ultimately our peo ple must, and will, come tot he view that the Nation and the states witn in their several spheres spheres which must cover every particle of the ground where it is possible for gov ernment to act at all have not only tm rlcht. but- the duty to decide as wisdom and experience shall dictate as to all the , conditions wnicn snau obtain in tenement houses, in lac tnrios in mines on railways for pre l VS A ArKjy J f serving men, women and children in health, life and limb, ir tney so oe and are reallv bent upon having the decision reduced to practice, the courts will sooner or later, m one .way or another, be forced to give it effect. it iz irH to sav. that the neople as a whole have not the right to decide for themselves on such a matter 01 gov-, rTiTTintal nolicv.

Board, was guest of honor at the annual territor ial meeting of the local association held yesterday afternoon in the Y. W. C.A. office in the Law building. The business of ' particular import ance! at the meeting yesterday after noon .was the reading of ' the report of Anna D. Casler, executive secre tary of the Virginia-Carolina Ter ritorial committee. The report is for the year ending Dec. L 1911, and is as follows.: ' " : A state insurance officer some time ago introduced the executive secretary of the .Virginia-Carolina Tentorial committee as the 'gener al agent" of the Young Women's Christian Asociations. She has been very grateful to him for lending that term, since it furnishes a tangible idea 'for a somewhat intangible of fice, and to the minds of the unini tiated gives a raison d'etre for tne officer who presents this report of the work of 1911. No , fact has been brought home more forcibly during the year than that of the difficulty with which most people grasp the idea of supervisory work its nature and its necessity. Local association .'exist: local seccr- taries are secured and placed by the territorial committee; intelligent peo ple turn to us for guidance in the organizing or developing of Young Women's Christian Associations; oth ers ignore us and try to start city work Of their Own which ve, who have the chartered right, have to ask them to refrain from doing be cause they know not how nor wny; college authorities ask us for co operation with their student work, and we gladly give it because It Is our privilege and our business; mill owners find use for. our office and field service in their welfare prob lems. And still people ask in wonder, "What is the . Territorial- Committee ?" or show surprise when we tell them that for such work money is needed as well as for the local organizations. Doubtless many a loyal citizen of Charlotte does not realize that from headquarters here there went forth last year influences which touched directly over 10,000 in our mem bership, even in the "infancy of our work, and indirectly many thousands more; and that here plans have been made which will concern the future of thousands' of girls and women who are bound up the, religious, educa tional, social and industrial develop ment of a new South; And he will be surprised to find that this supervisory work has been done at a cost of .less than 50 cents per member, and that 50 per cent "of that has been1 paid by the' membership; and perhaps he will be ashamed to find that only half the remainder of the " $5,000 v has been given in subscriptions by people in the three states directly benefitted; and perhaps he will be one of those who will determine that in the. budget for, 1912 .there. will be , nothing lelt of deficit for friends in New York city to .make : up. - f.. In doing the work of .the year the executive secretary has traveled over 10,000. miles, at least 8,000 of which have been covered in the field itself. Because there has been no special worker for city and industrial interest it has been necessary for this "gener al agent" to be on the field most of the time, and yet to return to Char lotte often enough to keep her hand upon the matters of general policy and interest which must be seen to at headquarters. During the course, of the year , visits have been made" to every city in which there is work now organized and to several . cities where preliminary Investigations have been made looking towards local as sociations later on. The largest amount of time has been given to Norfolk which was reported a year ago as being In the hands ' of a pro visional committee . just appointed to do preliminary work. With great rejoicing the new Norfolk association was opened m March with a pledged membership of 500, -since increased to ; 750. Remembering the - old, false conception in Norfolk of an associa tion we know we must hold firmly to high standards in the organization of the new work. Therefore more time was spent in tne organization of the new work than we would per haps need to spend in another city Norfolk is said to have the most at tractive rented association quarters on the Atlantic coast, and the gen erous response of citizens for its support and the joy of young wo men who at once, began to make use of one or. another department or Every woman's heart responds to the charm and sweetness of a baby's voice, because nature intended her for motherhood.. But even the loving1 nature of a . mother shrinks from the ordeal because such a time is regard ed aaa period of suffering' and danger. Women who use Mother's Friend are saved much discomfort and suffering', and their systems, being thoroughly prepared by this great remedy, are in a healthy condition to meet the time with the least possible suffering and danger.. Mother's Friend is recommend ?d onl1- for the relief and comfort of expectant mothers ; it is in no sense a remedy for various ills,; but its many years of ' success, and the thousands cf -endorsements re ceived from worsen who Jtave used it are a guarantee' of the 'benefit to be derived from its use. This remedy does not accomplish wonders but sim ply assists nature to perfect its work.

We have planned this work in such a way that the association shall develop to meet the needs of this city, which is rapidly becoming the great sea port of the South Atlantic . coast. Another quite extended piece of work was the assistance given to the Richmond association for the building fund campaign, which we include n our annual report with deep grati tude, as we recognize the fact that the citizens of Richmond have gen erously given the first complete building campaign fund for young women's work south of Philadelphia a total of $160,000, raised in prac tically twelve days. We are now look ing forward to ; Richmond's erecting a building that shall be a model for young women's buildings in the South. It is not necessary to enter into detail in regard to the cities in our field during the year beyond making the statement that there has been growth in every direction, opening of new departments, larger co-operation from citizens, increase in number of employed officials, larger general service rendered to young women. There were three new play-grounds opened up for young women last summer, two new gymnasium depart ments developed, much new educa tional -work among industrial girls, provision made for association work in the Miller-Rrodes-Swartz depart ment store in Norfolk, because of the success of the work in their Rich mond store, which was reported as begun in the 1910 annual statement. There have .been many visits in South Carolina to the mill village associations where the intricate rela tionships make necessary unusually careful supervision. We have the privilege of considering with Mona ghan Mills the planning and furnish ing ,of the new . building in which the girls and women of that village are now doing most gratifying work. Annual meetings in two other villages were attended, and at these talks were given. The failure of some work ers to fit into their places, because Drought' anxiety afid&ln"Mfdadcied search for those who would fit. But the patience and loyalty of the mill owners have been so great that there was an inspiration in every inter view with them. The most important step for the mill village work for the year has been the co-operation with the Parker cotton mills com pany in placing Miss O. May Jones (formerly general secretary of Olym pia and Granby mills, Columbia) with them as general secretary for the de velopment of women's and girls' work in the seventeen mill3 of the company. Every hour of work with Miss Jones since her appointment last summer has increased our joy, for we realize her wonderful oppor tunity and ours as .we work with her and we are more than gratified at the results already being seen in many villages. Several of these had Christmas entertainments under her supervision, where Christmas had never been really observed before. The absence of Miss Crane from the field of the time, because of ill ness, has brought more demands from the student Interests upon tfe executive secretary, . who always gladly turns to any opportunity tor work with college girls these future leaders of our states. Special visits have been made to the associations in the ' three State Normal schools Greensboro, Winthrop and Farmville, and to Randolph-Macon Women's college and to Converse. There has also been opportunity for touch with the students at Presbyterian college, Elizabeth College for Women, Co lumbia, and the Asheville Normal. In order to do field work adequate ly it has been necessary to bring together' groups of workers represent ing our student, city and industrial interests. . Early in the spring we planned, therefore, for a series of volunteer workers' institutes held in Charleston, Winston-Salem and Rich mond. These brought together women interested in the city associations in our three states, and the two days spent in each city under the train ing of the national secretaries from New York were days fruitful in re sults. We have seen since that time many new lines of work develop in our city) associations from the in spiration of those institutes. A sim ilar series of student councils was planned for the three states, but be cause circumstances prevented our entertainment 4 by a conveniently lo cated college in South Carolina we wpre able to have only the councils in North Carolina and Virginia. These were held at Guilford College and Hillins College with" results which Miss Crane will report. The execu tive secretary counts as one of the richest experiences of the year her participation in those gatherings with the college girls.

The latter enjoyed the convention doubly because the chairman, was there with her. At the Asheville conference In June your secretary was assistant executive, and helped especially with the city interests of that confrence. A day has also been spent in con ference with the industrial secretaries concerning their work and its prob lems. Three visits have been made to national headquarters in New York for consultation about many field and local matters. Two commit tee meetings of the Blue Ridge As sociation have been attended, and many personal interviews have been held both at headquarters and on the field concerning the intesests of young women and girls which there is not the space even to mention. Plans were made in the spring for carrying on our summer camp at Tryon, which Miss Wright kindly made possible ' again by loaning us Sunny Slope; and one month of the executive secretary's time was given at the camp, Miss Anna May Stok; ely coming as hostess the rest of tne summer. - t We have not been unmindful during the year of our policy to continue the enducation of the field in regard to the need and the nature of Young Women's Christian Associa tion work. Opportunities have been seized for parlor, conferences in Win-ston-Salm, Orangeburg, Hampton, Lynchburg, Norfolk ' and Charlotte, and , for , speaking - about the work before ; missionary socities and other groups of women, and for talks given to the' extension chapter in Charlotte and s gatherings of Asociation ; workers ip . other cities to which visits have been made. Perhaps in proportion, more time has been given to the finding of suita ble secretaries than to any one other feature because we realize that upon the local workers depend ' the ulti mate success of the association's service. We have been fortunate in deed that only three of our loyal sec retaries have needed to leave the field during the year, and "that the ten new ones placed in positions have been women of special training and rare personal equipment for their work. There is, of course, a mingling of pain and : joy in an entire year's work. The pain has come because of the workers who sometimes fail to give their best to this which is wor thy of that nly. Or it has been due to the great number of things left undone both through our own weak ness or through a failure of adequate financial support which would provide sufficient workers to do effective work; or it. has been the waiting for the generous - people who are still delaying the privilege of furnish ing this headquarters city with its own Young Women's Christian Asso ciation building. We have longed to develop many new interests which we see possible as we study the girlhood of our states, but for whion money is. absolutely necessary.
