BlJLLETIN
The Bulletin This Bulletin is an experiment. It is being sent to every chapter this month to pass out several items of general information. It is also being sent out tG ascertain whether there are sufficient chapters finding this bulletin of interest and value to continue publishing it regularly ever ymonth. To col, lect this information a card is enclosed which every chapter is asked to fill out and return whether in favor of such a bulletin or not. To issue a bulletin of this size for ten months, from September to June, inclusive, would cost about $1.17 per year for one copy to each chapter and 29 cents per year for each additional copy to the same address. Two plans for meeting the cost of publication are proposed on the en, dosed card. The first would make the Bulletin practic:iHy self-sustaining; the second would require that funds from the national tre.r,ury be appropri, ated each year to cover the deficit. In the second plan the lower cost to the members might result in a larger number of members securing individual copies. Kindly return the questionnaire card at once so that the information may be compiled and submitted to the Executive Council for action in time to decide whether an October Bulletin shall be published or not. This Bulletin is not intended to take the place of the annual magazine such as was issued last J une.

Addressed Envelopes Packets of envelopes addressed to the Secretary have been sent to every chapter. These are furnished to make it convenient to send in reports, appli, cation, or information of any kind. If any chapter fails to receive these please notify the Secretary.
For New Chapters Attention is again directed to a misinterpretation frequently placed upon Regulation No. 4. "Preliminary contests" refers to interscholastic prelimi, naries in which several schools take part and does not apply to local try-outs No contest in which students of one school alone take part can be reported for credit points. The ambiguity of this regulation will be corrected in the next printing of the constitution. THE JUNE MAGAZINE Members who subscribed for the June Magazine at 15 cents a copy se· cured a rare bargain. That price was based upon a 16-page pamphlet. The Magazine as published runs 5 4 pages! and actually costs three-and-one-half times as much! A limited number of copies remain and will be sold at cost -50 cents, postpaid. Members desiring copies of Vol 1, No. I, can secure ..hem while they last from the Editor or the Secretary.
