Dr. Nina E. Pickett, who has been spending the last year in field work in the south, sends us her spring itinerary, which is planned to bring her into the north for convention and summer school. She writes from St. Petersburg, Florida, where she expects to stay until the latter part of March. She will spend two weeks in Washington D. C., and go from there to Cleveland for a month's work with the Northern Ohio Federation. After this, following two weeks in Indianapolis, she will be available for short engagements in Illinois, Wisconsin and perhaps in Michigan.
