'i iic advantages of putting graugo work upon a thoroughly systematic basis, so that exactly what Is being dull'- can be positively known and dell uUei.v recorded, is shown in Massa chusetts, v. here the state lecturer, Olimles J.I. Gardner of West Held, has si atematized the work done during ;;ie cture hour that at the end of the yc a complete total can be drawn off >: ly an the larye business concern u of," its annual balance sheet for ih.- inspection of its stockholders. This result Is made possible by a c. illy prepared r port system whereby every subordinate and Po i.itiua lecturer in the state sends to the . '.ate lecturer once in three months a compote summery of fill lecture hour v in tha- grange, how many people helped do it and how many persons a dor.tied the meetings. At the end of the soar the entire work of each pr in the state is summarised and uhn'.v'.: on a large chart (hat is ex !•" i'.i I at .he annual slate mooting. !5y this sy.tem the astoundim fact was ! rought out of last year's worl, <;\"er 40,C00 persons had contribut ed sonethb.g to the lecture h >i.r pro- iu Massachuseu. and that the total grange audience of tho year was _".5,00(i persons. Thii system affords more than a more record of results. It provides the raeap of comparison one year with an other: It fur- ishes every three mouths a correct idea of how each grange Is get.ll: alon :, whether holding its own or u, ; it al-.o gives the local Uxt.irer a-.'ded reic - ■: for urging his members : i «J«> their best i"i order that that g.-.-ingc snail make the best possible showing on the year's chart at the scire -.neetii g. A record is also kept of tho leadi i;x topics discussed during t!!«- jv.i?, at 1 this also is presented to i i:> state meeting to show along what Hues v-range thought is being especial ly tl:. led, while the distinct grange j efforts in bt a.f of town improvement, good citizenship, letter schools and other . alters of civic betterment are carefully re; ■ riled.
