Sherman, president, and her corps of national officers will be hostesses. This being the final vear of M Sherman’s administration, the routi business of the hoard meeting will be | ir she nature of a review and a round- g ovi e programs already initiated, rather than concerned with the inau- guratien of any new projects.

The service will be :d:;‘qmtwmxht-u The inaugural program Tuesday night brought to the microphone Mer- Iin' H. Aylesworth, National League 3 E. Burton, member of the House of Representatives from Ohio, and Dean Barnard Col- .| versity Four, com; th | 1and, with Mrs. Robert H. Broadcast} Co. studios in New York City ul:'w-h- ington. Speakifk from New York, Mr. Aylesworth gave the service an aus- picious start with the prediction that it would not only prove of real value but that “the League of Women Voters’ vaice will be more command- ing during 1928 than the voice of ethletics, business or partisan poli- tice.” Mr. Ayesworth in offering_the facilities of his broadeasting system for the dissemination of all sides of 21l quertions declared he did so in the conviction “that all the avetage Amer- jcan man and woman needs to secure rational action relative to our many national problems is information.” Miss Bherwin, speaking from sta- tion WRC, in Washington, explained in detail the object and general scope of the service, which will be adminis- tered by the league. Miss Sherwin urged the radio public te “talk back #t us,” so that the value of “this new course in adult political education” may be doubled. “I: is my privilege.” Miss Bherwin #ad, “to announce the prospectus of this new citizenship school on the air.” The Voters' Campaign Information Bervice of 1928 will be non-partisan, It will supplement and round out what the political parties give, presenting in its programs men and women who are recognized specialists in important phases of domestic and forelgn poli tics. They will endeavor to show the various sides of controversial ques. tions and to give Lo these Guestions that background of history which so largely tends 1o explain s1) questions, The speakers in the Voters' Bervice Wwill talk rather than deliver lgctures, ‘They will address themmelves to show. ing the common interest of all in gov- ernment, to making plainer the rela- tion of government timately identified with government end political parties, “All speakers will discuss subject not debate them,” Mise Sherman con- tinued. “They will aim to suggest fdear, 1ot to srgue for them, They will Talse Guestions and not always snswer them.

As only four board meetings remain, including to- | morrow’s session, before the conven- tion, which will assemble April 11, and - las much business of importance is to |be transacted, a large attendance of | national 1 | men is expected at tomorrow’s gath- h, | ering. i The convention, to be held from April 11 through April 15, will take place at the Willard Hotel, which re- calls the fact that the first convention under the present form of organization {of the Pen Women was held at the | Willard Hotel in 1921, under the lead- lership of Mrs. William Atherton Du Puy, then president, and re-elected at that convention for the vear 192122, It was at that time decided to hold the conventions biennially. h the terms of national officers running for two years. This year's convention will be the fourth biennial since the adoption of these rules, and because of the gfowth tic and literary fields of woman's en- deavors will be one of the most im- portant ever held by the league.
