Our organization is very simple. The club membership changes
from term to term of our school year. Three times a year a group
of from fifteen to twenty-five comes to me as student teachers.
We then organize a Story Club which meets once in two weeks. We
elect an Executive Committee. This Committee, a group of three,
prepare the programs. We have our meetings in different homes
and serve very simple refreshments. Those not on the program
bring their needle work.
I have had in mind these ends in keeping up the
organization,—First, A good time together;—Second, A better
knowledge of Story material; and Third, An opportunity to _tell_
stories.
We have as yet no Junior organization. I have thought of it, but
am not quite sure whether it is the best thing for us. All
teachers should feel indebted to the National League. I have
this year for the first time told stories to “grown-ups” and am
amazed at their delight in them.
