GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

Dear Sisters, —Now that the number of Unions in the Dominion is so it has become almost impossible to communicate with each one individually. I would therefore ask you, through the columns of the “White Ribbon ” if you will kindly send >n to me the annual reports of the (iood Citizenship Department before the end of December, in order that the report for Convention may be prepared early in January. I should be very tflad to receive a post-card from every Union stating whether or not a. local superintendent has been appointed, and in either case reporting anv work th t has been done during the pa->t year in connection with the department, and especially in connection with the elections, whether Parliamentary, Municipal, or for School Committees, Hospital Boards, and any other local bodies. Will you also kindly state how many women, if any,

have a seat on any such bodies, and whether they are members of the W.C.T.U. ? Any information w hich can be given upon these points, or on any others bearing upon women’s work as citizens, will greatly facilitate the making up of the report for Convention. I feel sure there is far more interest in these matters amongst New Zealand women than would appear from the reports sent in, and I would urge every Union, by reporting everything that has been done or attempted, to do its part towards in< reading this interest.—Yours in the work, MARION JUDSON, N.Z. Supt. Good Citizenship Dept. Y'an Diemen Street, Nelson.
