SOURCES OF INFORMATION 
The amount and kind of information which is made available by 
an association to its members affect membership morale. The mem- 
bers were asked several questions on this point, replies to which are 
tabulated in Table 24. The magazine or paper published by each 
association was most frequently the source from which the members 
received information about their association.
