At present there is wide interest in the proposed changs in the membership basis, which would makejactive mem- bership possible to a larger group. A commission was appointed at the Hot Springs convention to make further study of this question and to report at the next biennial 11™1924. The new constitution, as read by Mrs. Humason, increases the board of directors from 21 to 25, provides for more general meetings yearly, defines more explicitly the duties of the var ious committees and provides for more frequent change in board and committees. It will be voted upon at the annual meeting of the assoclation next April, the constitution requiring that changes first be presented at a public meeting for discussion and then voted upon at a subsequent reg- ulatr meeting of the entire association The New Britain Y. W. C. A, is strongly in favor of greater latitude in choosing its electors, as well as ex- tending its membership to all those who are committed to its purpose, no matter what their church affiliation, and who will be active in the promo- tion of that purpose, which, is to make life more abundant for all young women.
