The formation of local Associations in every locality where a nucleus can be found is much to be desired, and the Secretary of the League will be glad to assist any movement in that direction. Each Association, when formed, should establish an official connection with the National League. The details of the organization having been furnished to the Executive Committee through the Secretary, that Committee is authorized to admit the association to membership in the League, whereupon it is entitled to elect a member of the General Committee and a representative Vice-President. The Secretary should thereafter be kept informed of the progress of the work, and of changes of officers as they may occur. Address WILLIAM POTTS, Secretary. NO. 4 PINE STREET, NEW YORK.
