Certificates will be given to walking clubs which enroll in the League. The cost of enrolment is $1.00, simply to pay for the cost of the certificate.
Members of constituent walking clubs may wear bronze buttons or pins bearing the emblem of the League. These may be procured at a nominal cost at 347 Madison Avenue, New York.
A bronze medallion, to be worn as a watch fob, will be awarded to any one, a member of a constituent walking club, who walks 30 miles in twenty-four hours, or 150 miles in two weeks, or who makes a mountain climb of 3,000 feet in a day. An applicant for a medallion will furnish with his application two letters, in addition to his own, from those best advised, stating the facts as they know them. The secretary of the club of which the applicant is a member (it may be of a Y. M. C. A.) should also write, and his may be one of the two letters required, as just said. If possible, the letters should be written by persons present, one at the start and the other at the finish of the feat. The applicants will pay the cost of the medallion.
A silver medallion will be awarded, at the expense of the League, one each year, (1) to the person who sends to the Bureau the best original essay on walking, based upon actual experience; (2) to the person who sends to the Bureau the best epitome of a walking tour; and (3) to the person who sends to the Bureau the best photograph taken on a walk.
A silver medallion may be awarded to one who performs some notable feat in walking, or who renders some valuable service in the interest of walking.
Special recognition will be given each year to that walking organization which has rendered the best service to the walking movement.
The emblem of the League is pictured in the design appearing in the frontispiece. The design was modeled by Mr. Royal B. Farnum, Specialist in Industrial Arts in the New York Department of Education, at the instance of Dr. John H. Finley, President of the University of the State of New York.
The desire of the League is to inspire and incite people to get out of doors, to walk regularly and systematically, to cultivate a love for the open, and to develop health and vigor and the joy of well-being.
All organizations interested are requested, for the common good, to communicate with the New York Bureau all data respecting regions under cultivation, and respecting particular walks and tours.
Communications should be addressed to the League of Walkers, 347, Madison Avenue, New York City.
