_A Model Report_

By E. R. P.

WHILE we were preparing the summary for May, we received a copy of the Wisconsin Reporter, in which we find a report of the canvassing work in the Wisconsin Conference for the week ending June 6, 1908. In several particulars, this report is one of the best we have ever seen. The time worked averages forty-three and one-half hours a week. The books being sold are such large, valuable books as “Great Controversy,” “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” and “Home and Health.” This report may well be studied as a model in conferences where the agents apparently are not very fond of hard work. In order that the “half-time agents” may see how their reports might look if they would bestir themselves, we publish the report in full; and in doing so, we heartily congratulate the fine little company of canvassers in Wisconsin which has made such a good record.

month of May, 1907, compared with the month of May, 1908, are striking illustrations of this improvement:—

	1907	1908
Vermont	$98.75	$666.30
Maine	53.95	541.38
New Jersey	.....	1,494.36

The subscription-book sales in the State of Vermont during the twelve months of 1907 amounted to five hundred dollars, or $166.30 less than the sales for the month of May, 1908.
