federation of 1900.
Mrs. Harrisons communication to
Mrs. Smith:
My Dear Madame President: At the
conference of delegates from the
Louisiana purchase states, convened
at Kansas City, January 17-1S, a res
olution was adopted which provided
that the state federations of women's
clubs included in the Louisiana pur-
chase be requested to take measures
to obtain the vote of their federated
clubs on the questions embodied in the
resolutions adopted at the Milwaukee
biennial concerning the Worlds fair
celebration, and the permanent me-
mortal which is to commemorate the
great event of the original Louisiana
Purchase.
This resolution further recommend
ed that in order to accomplish this
successfully, a copy of these resolu-
tions and a list of the projects which
were presented at the Kansas City
conference for the permanent me-
mortal, be sent to each state president
with the request that copies of these
be sent to all cf the federated clubs
of her state.
The questions to be considered are
the choice of time, place and program
for the suitable celebration of the
Louisiana Purchase and the selection
of the project for the permanent me
mortal which may be deemed most de-
sirable and expedient.
Inasmuch AS the amount to be ex-
pended must be determined by the
clubs, it will also be incumbent upon
each state federation to adopt meas
ures for ascertaining approximately
the amount it will be able to contri-
butte to the general fund
Having obtained the vote of the
clubs on these questions, each state
federation is then requested to elect
and instruct representative to serve
as a member of a permanent commit
tee, which is to consist of one repre-
sentative from each state or territory
included in the Louisiana Purchase.
The name and address of this member
of the committee shall be forwarded
to the president of the Missouri state
federation.
1t shall be the duty of this commit
tee to determine the time, place and
program of the meeting which is to
celebrate the Tooth anniversary of the
Louisiana Purchase, to decide upon
the permanent memorial, to determine
where it shall be located, to manage
the funds and to make all necessary
arrangements for carrying into effect
the resolutions adopted by the general
federation at Milwaukee and by the
conference Of delegates from the Lou
isiana Purchase states at Kansas CITY.
Enclosed please find copy of the res
olutions and list of thirteen plans for

Conniuou ntiu VI choit ioscs its S'ehin
canoe when discrimination is made be-
tween the two classes of workers
therein. Women OF today have a con-
ception of public ethics which makes
them keen to sense and quick to re-
pudiate the old need of puerile and
specious praise. They want approval
for their work. Not because women
have done that work, but because it is
good work. When ii not good work
they want the same healthy, inyigor-
ating disapproval given to men under
the same circumstances.
Third-The best work of women is
always exhibited with mems work
while it is only their less successful
efforts which are shown as women's
work.
This is the natural and lawful SUI
premacy of individuality over sex
Fine grade artists, artisans and best
workers of all kinds among women
want their productions classed with
the worlds work. not with specialized
portions of it. IL they compete they
will compete with all, not with part
Hence, all the best work done by wom-
en- goes to enhance the quality of the
general exhibit and the woman's de-
partment becomes a pitiful display of
minor, inferior ard trivial industries.
Fourth-In human society progress
is from separate interests to unified
interests, and in the evolution of
worlds fairs progress is from mems
exhibits and women's exhibits to hu-
man exhibits.
In the coming worlds fair it must
be the chief desideratum to present
in each variety of activity, the very
climax idea of that activity, be it prac-
tical, scientific, philosophical or re-
ligious. With a less comprehensive
goal than this there is no reason for
the fair With this in mind it is i'm
possible to overestimate the signifi-
canoe of the standpoint of these resolu-
tions. Practically it stands for the
comradeships, the mutual strengthen
ing of men and women; scientifically
it represents the conservation of en-
ergy and the identity of forces; philos-
ophically it is the synthesis of divers
itr IN, npitr- raliuiancly &c tho atb
ering of separated consciousness in
to one consciousness-the unity of the
race 1t is the best possible express
sion, at once superbly subtle and mag
nificently practical, of the brotherhood
of man and its great correlation, the
fatherhoCd of God. Granting this it is
perhaps not too much to say that in
the judgment of many this standpoint
and others of like nature are the very
crux of the significance of the Worlds
fair. Back of all the mixed motives,
the politics civic c-socisl, back of the
hideous scarry side of human nature
which such an understanding is bound
to reveal, stands the power which
makes for righteousness" the power
of mind and spirit, which will use all
these as means to its own divine end.
IL history records of our worlds fair
nothing more than this standpoint as
one of the main-springs Of its action,
it will stand out among the other
great conventions of this era as hav-
ing enunciated a universal principle,
a climax of the race-mind, a mountain
peak of the world-spirit.

bers. form but another mile stone on
the road which the woman's club
movement has travelled during the
last quarter of century. Their i'm
mediate predecessors were the home
department and child study depart
ments of the clubs, and the remote an
cestor of all was the sewing circle of
We olden days which gathered pennies
for the heather and which, from a So
cial point of view, was all too often
but the central point from which the
towns gossip was distributed.
After the manner in which all sue
cessful social movements come into be-
ing, these clubs owe their existence,
not to the cultured few, but to a gen.
eral intelligent demand on the part of
parents for a greater knowledge of the
trend of modern educational thought,
and a closer touch with the teacher
who, for almost half the day, has the
child's mental and moral possibilities
in her hands
We say parents, but, of course, all
understand that the mothers are the
promoters and managers of these gath
erings. The busy life of the average
American man of family precludes
aught but an occasional participation.
The fathers interest and aid, behind
the scenes as it were, has however
been most admirable. But who can
blame us for self-congratulatory feel
ing that We are the progenitors of this
interest and that the submerged half
have started movement which in the
very near future may make the child's
environment outside the school room a
matter of active public interest as well
as his environment inside.
After heredity has played its part
in the child's life, the great moulder
of its future for good or evil is it's
home. But there are two other factors
which do much in the making of either
a good or bad citizen from that child.
Its associations and it's school life.
Until recently each of these factors
has performed its work with but little
relation to the other. In the majority
OF homes but little was known of the
real character of the child's comrades.
1t was probably ascertained that they
were from so-called good families and
were not themselves of notoriously bad
reputation. But the hard-working
mother of the past rarely called into
close compan- onship with herself the
companions of her child. His PLAYS
and amusements were outside her ken.
With the broadening of the life of the
woman of today, has come a partial re-
lease from the round of duties which
held her grandmother in thrall She is
no longer sole caterer to the family.
The laundry work, the baking, the
sewing, no longer must be done under
her roof. With this relief has come
vast increase in her sense of her du-
Ties TO the world at large, and keener
realization that the duties which she
owes her own child are supreme over
all.
A few years ago the contact of home
ana school or anything like co-opera-
tlon between these two powers in
ehiid's life was the exception. To this
may be attributed much of the lethar-
sic condition which existed in our pub
lie school for generations. Teachers

According TO the Medical Review for

recently in a lecture that life contained
few experiences more agreeable and en-
Joyable than falling over a precipce or
slipping into a glacier crevasse. Even the
Landing after the fall was free from any
