Two Secretaries for Garden Clubs 
N THE November number of THE GARDEN 
Macazint, Miss Youngs suggested that 
Garden Clubs have a social secretary to answer 
the many notes that add so to the duties of the 
Secretary. Our Club has a Recording Secre- 
tary and a Corresponding Secretary, and in this 
way neither one finds her duties crowding so 
heavily but that they may be properly and 
promptly attended to. I offer this as a pos- 
sible solution to the problem for other Clubs.
