原文
The Avonlea Village Improvement Society was an organized fact.
Gilbert Blythe was president, Fred Wright vice-president, Anne Shirley
secretary, and Diana Barry treasurer. The "Improvers," as they were
promptly christened, were to meet once a fortnight at the homes of
the members. It was admitted that they could not expect to affect many
improvements so late in the season; but they meant to plan the next
summer's campaign, collect and discuss ideas, write and read papers,
and, as Anne said, educate the public sentiment generally.
