    In a letter from Mr. Howard J. Rogers, in charge of congresses,
    which will be appended to this report, he says: 

“I beg to state that, in my opinion, the only feasible way is for the secretary of the board of lady managers, acting in behalf of the board, to communicate with the secretaries of the various women’s organizations, such as Federation of Clubs, etc.”

Our committee suggests that a separate committee be formed to take these congresses and other women’s organizations in hand and make it their duty to arrange for dates.  We would also suggest that a local committee of leading club women of the city of St. Louis be appointed to act in harmony and in unison with this committee of congresses from the board of lady managers.

    I herewith submit copies of letters from Mr. Skiff and Mr.
    Rogers: 

    ST. LOUIS, U.S.A., March 07, 1903.
