quested by the National Government, National, State, or County Councils, or Branches of the Woman's Committee in order that a uniform national response may be quickly obtained. The keynote of efficient decentralization is promptness and accuracy by the local agents in carrying out of the requests from a central source.

Since the State Divisions of the Woman's Committee have already departmentalized their work along lines generally parallel to those suggested in this program, an effort should be made, in those communities where the work of the Woman's Committee is organized in small communities, to combine the two programs or departments of work to prevent duplication and too much reorganization of existing committees.
