This league held the Third Annual Conference on Rural Progress, April 10
and 11, 1906, the first day's session being at Brown University,
Providence, and the second day's at East Greenwich. Its fourth meeting
was held in Newport in March, 1907. In Rhode Island the idea lying back
of this conference has certainly approved itself to all who are
interested in rural matters.
The following is the constitution of the league:

this state.
III. MEMBERSHIP.--Any organization interested in rural advancement,
which may desire to co-operate with the work of the League, may be
represented in the League.
Any individual in the state interested in rural progress may become
