canada and South Australia, and that
it is one of the most important edu-
cational movements the world has ever
known. -r.4e
The New York women were the first
to take the initiative. They urged the
various literary societies scattered over
the United States to meet in conven-
ton and consider the advisability of
forming confederation. This was in
the spring of 1889. The next spring
-lS9o-the organization was effected
1t was styled the General Federation
of Women's Clubs and was Incorporate
ed under the state laws of New Jer-
sey. Its avowed purpose was the so
cial, literary, artistic and scientific
culture of it's members and to fur
Their this scheme biennial meetings
were to be held at which delegates
from each club We're to be present to
compare work and discuss plans. 1t was
argued that the mere coming togeth-
er of SO many women from various
parts of the country with widely d.
versified interests and aims would be
of great educational benefit, would ele-
vate womanhood, inspire them to no.
bier living and unite them in bonds
of friendship and good fellowship.
That this interest in each other and ex-
change of thought might continue dur
ing the time intervening between the
biennial meetings a chairman of, COR
respondence for each state was APP
pointed by the executive committee of
the general body. whose duty it should
be to encourage organization of new
clubs, promote mutual interest among
the clubs of her state and be the means
of communication between them and
the officers of the general federation.
The most enthusiastic promoters of
this scheme never dreamed that it
would reach the proportions it has to-
day.
During the presidency of that grand
woman and able executive Mrs. Ell
len NJ. Henrotin, which extended from
June, 1894, to June, 1898, the state fed
erations came into existence. They are
the natural outgrowth of the educa-
tional work undertaken by the club
women. It was found that aside from
the interest club women from all over

organization and the representation
through states only would tend to up
build an aristocracy and narrow the
scope Of this grand scheme of organ
ization among women. A state fedora
ton is to be desired. but it's legitimate
work relates to state education and re-
forms only, and If the representation
at the biennials has become so large
as to be "unwieldy" and reorganization
therefore necessary, then let represent
tation from state declarations be done
away with and reductions elsewhere
be made, but let the main idea of the
general federation still remain-an or
ganization for the benefit of the aver
age woman and the promotion of
broad democratic principles. There are
minor defects in the organizatio that
may safely be left to the committee
appointed, as they are better under
stood by them. But the main point
of representation is clear to every
thinking woman and she should le.
her voice be heard when the subject
comes up for discussion in her club.

extremely ignorant of the manner of
