#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 1019
tees of organization have conducted the correspondence, made the
arrangements and formed the programmes for the more than two
hundred Congresses which have been held in the twenty depart-
ments of the Auxiliary, constitute one of the marvels of the World's
Congress work. The discipline and subordination which have at-
tended the execution of the great and complicated scheme would
do honor to the best organized department of any government.
So efficiently and so silently have these committees done their
work that the great public they have served needs to be reminded
of their part in the splendid results achieved. A publication
which will present the full membership of these and the other
committees of the World's Congress Auxiliary is in contempla-
tion.
These words of praise are intended quite explicitly to apply to
the Woman's Branch of the World's Congress Auxiliary. Many
predictions were made at the outset that this branch would prove
an unmanageable part of the organization. But these predic-
tions have not been verified. More than sixty committees of
women have taken part in the work. A part of one of those
committees, acting under a misapprehension, resigned, but the
action of the various committees, as a whole and in detail, has
been most creditable. For conformity to the plan of the work,
for subordination to executive authority, for economy of time,
and for the wise and efficient arrangement of the programmes
entrusted to their charge, the officers and committees of the
Woman's Branch of the World's Congress Auxiliary are entitled
to the highest credit. It would be easy to specify cases in which
these qualities were conspicuously displayed.
The magnificent array of eminent thinkers and leaders who
have contributed papers or addresses for the Congresses, deserve
whatever honors our own and other countries can bestow, for
they have made the world their debtor. Those papers and ad-
dresses constitute such an encyclopedia of the best thoughts of all
countries on the living questions of the age as cannot elsewhere
be found.
The first attempt to bring all the departments of human prog-
