CHAPTER XXIII
How to Make a Year Book
Many clubs find it difficult to make year books which shall be clear and comprehensive, and yet cover briefly the entire field they have selected. This is a simple plan:
After the club has agreed on a subject the committee appointed to draw up the year book should meet, bringing with them all available helps, books, maps, magazine articles and cuttings from papers.
With these before them, the committee must lay out in general the main topics for the club to study, dividing it into as many parts as there will be meetings during the year. (In some instances, as where a historical subject is chosen, the Table of Contents in some book of reference will be found helpful.)
Under each of the main divisions of the whole four or five subdivisions should then be made out, corresponding to the number of papers desired on a given day.
Last of all, either at the close of the work planned for each meeting, or at the end of the book, there should be given a list of reference books.
As an example of a year book, one is given here on the history of England, which will be found worked out in detail in Chapter XII of this book.
