Annual Report Ohio State Regent. 
 
 ' I 'HE State Regent has the honor 
 ^ to submit to the chapters in 
 Ohio her Annual Report to the Na- 
 tional Society, adding a short sum- 
 mary of the various chapters, with 
 list of members, as well as other 
 matters of value in regard to the 
 organization that may add interest 
 to the work in this State. She asks 
 for a hearty co-operation of women 
 throughout the State, and would 
 appreciate a suggestion of names of 
 those capable to take charge of the 
 organization of new chapters, in 
 order that Ohio may rank in the 
 forefront of the Societv. 
 
 Mrs. a. Howard Hinkle, 
 State Regent. 
 
 To THE President and National Board of Management, 
 Daughters of the American Revolution : 
 
 Ladies — It gives me great pleasure to extend to this Third 
 Continental Congress the best wishes of the State of Ohio. 
 Appointed to the honorable position of State Regent of Ohio 
 only a short time before the last Congress assembled, I was a 
 quiet observer of its deliberations. I returned home, however, 
 with the earnest purpose of doing a work in ni}- State which 
 would place it where it belongs — foremost among the common- 
 wealths of our great country. I hoped to be able to vie with the 
 Regents of such States as Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania, 
 and Connecticut, but as often happens — man proposes, God 
 disposes. Illness overtook me for the first time in my life, and 
 
my work languished. Still, I have to report the formation of the 
 following chapters : The first chapter in Ohio was formed in 
 Cleveland, 1891, and called " The Western Reserve." Under the 
 wise direction of its able Regent, Mrs. Elroy M. Avery, it has 
 grown to be a power for the promotion of all that is patriotic, 
 and in the spirit of the work of the objects of our Society. 
 
 The Western Reserve Chapter now contains fort}--eight mem- 
 bers, and has present at this Congress its Regent, Mrs. Avery, 
 a delegate, and two alternates. 
 
 The second chapter in Ohio is that of Youngstown, called 
 "The Mahoning Chapter," numbering twent>- members. This 
 Chapter organized April 19, 189o, in a log cabin, on the land of 
 the patriot ancestor of twelve meml)ers of the Chapter — one 
 granddaughter, three great-granddaughters, seven great -great- 
 granddaughters, and one great-great-great-granddaughter — four 
 generations of one patriot. 
 
 The third chapter formed was in Cincinnati, April 27, 1S9-), 
 Mrs. Brent Arnold, Regent. The name given was that of " The 
 Cincinnati Chapter." To-day it contains sixty -five members, 
 among them a lineal descendant of Josiah Bartlett, first signer of 
 the Declaration of Independence, and sends to this Congress 
 Mrs. H. B. Morehead and Mrs. Frank Wilson. 
 
 The next work to record is that of Zanesville, " The Musk- 
 ingum Chapter." This numljers fourteen members. Its Regent. 
 Mrs. Edward Cone Brush, is with us to-day. 
 
 Next in order comes the Conneaut, theirs being " The Walter 
 Deane Chapter," Mrs. Claris.sa Kellogg Lyon, Regent, represented 
 by Mrs. Hickox. This is another ca.se where the incentive to 
 organize aro.se from there being enough descendants of one 
 Revolutionary hero to form a chapter. 
 
 Chillicothe has a Regent, Miss McClintock, and the work there 
 is jirogressing. A Regent has been appointed for Toledo, Mrs. 
 W. H. H. Smith, who is present at this Congress. Eaton also 
 has a Regent, ?klrs. Roddie Rc\-nolds. In Hamilton, Mrs. Iv C. 
 Rathbone, of " The Dolly Madison Chapter," has been made 
 Regent, and has undertaken the work of organization. 
 
To all parts of the vState letters have been written, and from its 
 various small towns members to the National Society have been 
 secured. The enthusiasm of the women of Ohio is aroused, and 
 imder wise and just leaders on the National Board of Manage- 
 ment, as well as competent local officers, the Society must grow 
 to wield great power in fostering love of country, and perpetua- 
 tion of the memory and spirit of our ancestors of Revolutionary 
 fame. The country at large feels an unrest because of the 
 resignations from the National Board of some of the women of 
 acknowledged ability and patriotism. 
 
 In the State of Ohio I can speak of what I do know, and let me 
 beg the present Congress to calm the doubts of those who would 
 join us but fear to do so. Let us not forget the watchword of 
 our country : " United we stand, divided we fall." 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Kate D. Hinkle, 
 
 Ohio State Kcocnt.

Suggestions. 
 
 IN response to "How to Organize a Chapter," we would call 
 * attention, first, to the point which is indispensable, that of 
 having twelve members of the National Society of Daughters of 
 the American Revolution in the same localit}', whose application 
 papers are approved and fees paid. To secure this requisite 
 number generally requires some special effort in interesting per- 
 sons who are eligible, and also in assisting them to look up the 
 Revolutionary record of their ancestors. To give .such assistance, 
 and to develop the objects of the Society in a community unfa- 
 miliar with them, is the allotted task of the Chapter Regent, often 
 appointed to a place remote from the center from which she ma}- 
 expect to draw information and inspiration in her work. It may 
 thus be seen that there is reason in the custom of appointing 
 Chapter Regents where there are, perhaps, no Daughters, and 
 she has to struggle on alone. Some of our most active Chapters 
 have grown from such beginnings. Where there are already sev- 
 eral members of the vSociety in one place, and no Regent has 
 been assigned to it, they ma>', if they prefer, elect their own 
 Regent, or they ma}- ask their State Regent to appoint one ; but, 
 in either case, as soon as the organization of a Chapter is contem- 
 plated, a formal authorization to do so must be obtained from the 
 National Board of Management, according to Article VII, Section 
 1, of the Constitution. This authority must be asked through 
 the State Regent, where there is one, or, where without, through 
 the Vice -President -General in charge of organization. The 
 Chapter Regent appointed or elected ma}- appoint the necessary 
 officers of her Chapter for the first year. When these officers — 
 Regent, Secretary, Treasurer, and Registi-ar — have accepted their 
 respective positions, and a Local Board of Management is elected, 
 the Chapter is ready for work, and should immediately report its 
 organization to the Recording Secretary of the National Board, 
 according to the By-L,aws of the National Society, with a list of 
 officers and members, and should send, at the same time, a dupli- 
 
catc report to their State Ke^eiit. The Recording Secretary, 
 after making her note of the Chapter, refers this official report 
 of organization to the Vice-President in charge of organization, 
 who has the responsibility in this department of the vSociety. 
 
 The Chapter can use its own discretion about other officers 
 than those named who are essential to organization. Every 
 Chapter would find it wise to have a Historian, but this and other 
 officers may be added one by one later on. It is well, also, not to 
 be hurried in making By-Laws, which should be duly considered. 
 A certain familiarity with the Constitution of the National 
 Society and with the By-L,av,'s of the older Chapters will aid 
 materially in forming such laws as are helpful and practical. The 
 Local Board of Management, or Committee of Safety, as .some 
 Chapters call it, should consider the By-Laws at length before 
 presenting them to the Chapter ; they should be read at one 
 meeting of the Chapter and voted on, section by section, at the 
 next. — .iDierieaii Moiit/ity Magazine. 
 
 ELICilHILITV. 
 
 Any woman ma>- be eligible for membership who is of the age of 
 eighteen years, and who is descended from an ancestor who, with 
 unfailing loyalty, rendered material aid to the cause of Indepen- 
 dence as a recognized patriot, as a soldier, or sailor, or as a civil 
 officer in one of the several colonies or States, or of the United 
 Colonies or States ; provided that the applicant shall be accept- 
 able to the Society. 
 
 OBJECT.S OF THE SOCIETV. 
 
 The National vSociety of Daughters of the American Revolu- 
 tion was organized in the City of Washington, on October 11, 
 ISUO, the anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. 
 The objects of the vSociety are: 
 
 1. To perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men and 
 women who achieved American independence, by the acquisition 
 and protection of historical spots, and the erection of monu- 
 ments; bv the encouragement of historical research in relation 
 
to the Revolution and the pubhcation of its results; by the 
 preservation of documents and relics, and of the records of the 
 individual services of Revolutionary soldiers and patriots ; and 
 by the promotions of celebrations of all patriotic anniversaries. 
 
 2. To carrs' out the injunction of Washington in his farewell 
 address to the American people, "to promote, as an object of 
 primary importance, institutions for the general dififiusion of 
 knowledge," thus developing an enlightened public opinion, and 
 affording to young and old such advantages as shall develop in 
 them the largest capacity for performing the duties of American 
 citizens. 
 
 ■J. To cherish, maintain, and extend the institutions of Amer- 
 ican freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country, and 
 to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty. 
 
 ORGANIZATION OF CHAPTERS. 
 
 a. When twelve members of the Society shall be living in one 
 locality, they may, after formal authorization by the National 
 Board of Management, organize a Chapter. They may elect a 
 presiding officer, whose title will be Regent, and who will be a 
 delegate to the Continental Congre.ss of the National Society, a 
 Secretary and Registrar, and such other officers as may be 
 required. 
 
 b. After a Local Board of Management shall have been estab- 
 lished, all applications for membership shall be passed upon by 
 the Local Board, and if the applicant shall be deemed satisfactor}- 
 and her eligibility established, the applicant shall receive the 
 indorsement of the Regent, Secretary and Regi.strar, and be for- 
 warded to the National Board of Management for final action. 
 
 c. The local Chapters may enact by-laws for their own govern- 
 ment in harmonv with the constitution of the National Societv.
