e be given in LITTLE FOLKS, the Editor
hopes to receive, as hitherto, the "promises" of all Children who are
willing to join; and, on receipt of these, their names will be inscribed
on the Register of the Society, and Certificates of Officership and
Membership also forwarded to them if stamped addressed envelopes be
enclosed. (The number of Officers and Members now on the Register is
about 49,500). The Editor is aware that in certain instances intending
Officers find that it takes many months to complete the list of fifty
names, which it is necessary to collect in order to become an Officer,
and he thinks it probable that the total of Fifty Thousand referred to
above will be reached before some of his Readers have been able to
obtain this number of "promises" from other children. To meet this
difficulty, and in order that the efforts on behalf of the Society of
such children may be rewarded just as they would have been had the
publication of names in LITTLE FOLKS been longer continued, the small
book and medal hitherto given to Officers will still be awarded; though
in all cases it will be necessary, in sending up the fifty "promises,"
to enclose a Certificate from a Parent, Teacher, or other responsible
person, stating that the list had been commenced previous to the
appearance of this notice in LITTLE FOLKS. The book and medal will not
in future be awarded to any readers other than those just referred
to--that is, those whose lists of fifty names are in actual progress at
the present time (July 1st, 1884).

_TWENTY-NINTH LIST OF OFFICERS AND MEMBERS._

_Officers' Names are printed in Small Capital Letters, and the Names of
