Today it is the most powerful woman's society in the world. In 1874 21 states were repre- sented at the first national convention but only nine were on a paid -basis; $381 was the sum. Now every state and territory in the United States (and on paid basis of members) and 52 countries, even the isle of the seas. There is no place where the W. C. T. U. is net known, for the work of our ofganization covers so much ground it can go anywhere. Everything that will tend to make the world a better place to live in or to make the people happier comes un- der some department -of their work; but. to obliterate -the saloon and- the liquor traffic is the cornerstone of the work, for from that come all the other evils. One of the greatest good things put through by us was and is the scientific_ temperance instruction . in schools. Now we are seeing the resuits of the teaching in the children of to- day. The postoffice amendment forbidding the sending or advertising of.liquors in dry territory and the District of Co- lumbia dry biil, also a bill tc submit to the people the matter of voting on the national amendment, and the nas tional W. C. T. U. has been responsi- ble for most of these bills, aided by the good men in congress. Two vears ago there were nine states: now there are 25, with four more coming soon. Now about Connecticut.
