lStenCe, Wnen women Work WITH men III
so many fields of industry, it is not con-
sidered expedient or practicable to have
a distinct and separate exhibition of
woman's work, but the board of lady
managers will endeavor by all means
possible to it to secure full recognition
for all female labor, whether it be done
by women alone or done in conjunction
with men,
In many of the states and territories
the members of the woman's board are
officially recognized as members of the
state boards or commissions, having
thus received both national and state
recognition, an adjustment of authority
which greatly facilitates their work
And in some of the states other women,
fitted by training and capacity for such
positions, have been added to the state
boards, whose active cooperation will
greatly promote the success of the wo-
mems department And to further expe-
dite the work necessary to make COM
plete exposition of woman's labor, the
board of lady managers advocates most
strongly the appointment of women on
all the various boards, associations or
commissions organized or appointed in
the several states and territories and the
District of Columbia for the purpose of
cooperation with the authorities of the
Columbian exposition.
Through the personal efforts of the
president of the board, committees of
women have been formed to cooperate
with the board of lady managers in
France, England and Austria. These
are presided over by women of the high
est rank and of great capability and ex-
perience, and are in thorough accord and
active sympathy with the objects of the
board.
Recognizing the fact that through the
systematic work in the several states
and territories is the broad foundation
on which American wOmanhood must
build its temple of triumph, the board
desires to develop to the fullest extent
the resources, attainments and possibili
ties of the women of every section and
state of the union. Their desire is to
exhibit at the great fair in 1898 all
articles that will aid in illustrating wo-
mans part in developing the natural
and material products of her native or
adopted state; her influence in its mental
and moral advancement, and her share
i'll shaping its history.
In order to expedite the gathering and
arrangement of the exhibits and Stats
tics necessary to this great work the
members of the board of lady managers,
individually, earnestly invite the CO.
operation of the women of their respec-
tive states and territories. and solicit
correspondence with all societies and
organizations of women in such states,
such as literary, art and social clubs,
reforms and charitable societies, teach
ers' associations, women's exchanges and
women's unions, of all kinds, with
view of exciting interest in the objects
of the board and of promoting the work
of such organizations by bringing into
acquaintance and harmony of method
all persons who are DESTROYS that the
women of their state or territory shall
be creditably represented at the great
exposition.
They also recommend, in order to fos-
ter a spirit Of patriotism and national
pride and to promote better under
standing of the marvellous progress of
our country the formation of classes or
clubs in every city and community of
their several states for the study of
American history and of those arts and
sciences in which the greatest advances
have been made, in order that all may
be intelligent learners in this great
school. And they desire especially to
enlist the interest of superintendent of
public instruction, members of school
boards, teachers of normal, public and
private schools, editors and correspond
ents of newspapers and periodicals and
of all who have the opportunity or inch-
nation to assist in this grand undertake
ing.
The foregoing comprises only small
measure of communications from the
national board, but time and opportu-
nifty will be taken as our work in Texas
advances TO transmit others TO you mot
ably those on classification, the congress
auxiliary and the woman's building)

First OhiciaI Recognition of Women.
For the first time in American history
the United States government has given
to the women of our country, as an or
ganized and national body, both official
recognition and financial aid. For the
first time the opportunity is presented to
the women of Texas of meeting in
friendly competition their sisters from
