It is hoped to devote an increasing amount of space in the RED CROSS
MAGAZINE to accounts of the work and plans of Chapters. For this reason
chairmen and secretaries are invited to send in reports and notes of
anything of interest in which the Chapters are engaged or which they
are contemplating. In this way the experience of one Chapter will be
made available for the help and guidance of others. While establishing
policies and strengthening other parts of the national organization the
creation and upbuilding of Chapters have been necessarily retarded. It is
believed the time has come for a vigorous effort to bring the Chapters
into their proper place of importance in the Red Cross scheme of things.
Officers of Chapters are invited to study the little handbook recently
published with a view to finding suggestions for local activities of
an interesting and useful character. It is to be remembered that the
handbook is not intended to specify all the activities permissible to
a Chapter, but is meant to define in a broad way the legitimate field
for Red Cross activities, with a few suggestions of specific lines of
work which are consistent with the purposes of the society. The national
director will be glad to correspond with Chapters which contemplate
embarking in new work. Reports or items of Chapter news intended for the
MAGAZINE should be sent to the national director.
