lcgcs OF higher education ar special
training for South Carolin. women,
| inc establishment of free kindcrgartcns
IN factory districts and neglected locali-
Ties Is another cooperative work under
process Of organization by tho Fedora
ton.
The first and only report of the morn
ing was that on library extension. The
need for travelling library work was first
recognized, and that committee of the
Federation has already established scvc-
raj of these FREQ libraries, receiving val
liable aid from one of tho largest rail
road corporations of the State.
ibis corporation is the Southern and
the Federation yesterday voted thanks
for the donation of twelve portable book
cases and free transportation over any of
its lines. These travelling libraries arc
TO bG sent to point where they arc de-
sired and it can be seen what Il help this
free transportation will mean
DR.. Is. +. Wilson, President of Con-
verse College, delivered an address be-
fore the Federation on Thursday even
| ing.
On Friday Miss Christie Poppcnhcim,
OF Audubon Society, spoke word for
the birds:
1t seemed to me most fitting that at
TINS Convention, where the representa-
tive women Of the State are assembled
together, word in behalf of the birds
should be spoken. Pcnp9vvania was the
originator of the Aud. bon S>"icty and
New Jersey, New Yo; *, Wisconsin, Con-
nccticut, District Of Columbia mI Hi
nois followed her lead.
The complaint has been made that tho
| southern States ito not cooperate with
| these States, in consequence Of which the
! birds in their migratiOns South are de-
Stroycd. This, as can be seen, does away
with the good effects of the work done
III thc Northern States.
Fcellng the need of cooperation in this
matter the South Carolina Audubon So
cicIy was organized in January, 1900,
WIN membership of thirty-tivc, which
mas increased to ono hundred. Its pur-
pose is the suppression of the use of birds
us ornaments.
Especially dO we oppose the use Of the
MGrcite, which represents so much Dc
Slrncti"n or life. think if we all rchl-
'%cu ,hat TO supply the demand for al
Srcttcs, thc plumcs arc pluckcd from the
nn', ,;I 'I, "Sui o',"", anu t"c carcaSScs
to staryc to dcoth in tho nnst thono
would be no rurihcr demand F",,, flaw,
Tho South Carolina Audubon Sor;ntv
has no dues and only ono mcctin,r :,
year.
The only wov 10 p,evcnt ,his rr,h,o.s
slaughter of our birds is TO Iiscnurnm"
the fashion now in vomuc rhnrc is -"
excuse for shooting The second class of
birds, as thcir volnc nc millinorv "r,n
mcnts is far less than their volnr Nc ;m-
sect dcStroycrs. The birds nrotrct thc
farmer, they work for him more f,i,h.
fully and continuously than nnv nthcr
helper he can get, Lei thc rormcr rrcoo.
niZc this and i'm turn jct him nrntnct tIIn
birds.
We would have ioincd fine Eclcrot;on
long ago, but as we have men and women
in our Society we are dcbarrcd from mem
bcrship. May count on the co -opcration
of the Federation in this good workp
They have ALWAYS rcsnondc1 en- ,omnr
ously to All demands nnnn thc;r ;t'77o a,,,
energies. This report is made in tLc
hope that we may gain at least one now
member to the Society, and | will hc
glad TO receive any new name
After the reading of thc rcnort thS
president asked that each member of
the Federation hand i'm her name for
membership in the Audubon Sociciv
