The group of canvassers headed by Mrs. H. E. Monroe, president of the institution, led in amount of contri vester- are meeting th ternoon to con- sider plans for a concerted appeal the wealthy class of Washington resi- dents. The response to the misso campaign for funds has been so wide spread. it was potnted out, that the canvassers have been handicapped by lack of numbers in their efforts to ap- proach personally those desirous of {donating money.
