 tary of its State Fair School for Girls, and as this service involves a con- 

 siderable amount of work which the Secretary should not be expected to 

 handle without additional stenographic help, and as the officers and execu- 

 tive committee feel that this help should properly be supplied by the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture whose school is being served, the matter had been 

 taken up with Director B. M. Davison, who assured the committee that he 

 would willingly supply the Secretary with the services of a stenographer 

 as needed, at any and all times, such assistance to be used by the Secretary 

 as she may direct.
