Mrs. Charles S. Morris made her re-
port as federation secretary and MRS
A. G. Neville gave the message to the

Voting on the proposed constitution
al amendments showed plainly the
chaotic state of the feminine mind
when it comes to casting a vote. The
question was on making all the club
delegates elective and taking from
club presidents the privilege of being
eX-ofiicio a delegate, or Of naming her
appointee. 1nere were wild questions
asked as to where they were at: one
woman wanted rising vote taken,
after the viva voce vote had been an
nounced. There were sentimental
speeches made anent taking this spe-
cial prerogative from the club presi-
dent. Finally, when the vote was
counted, the amendment was found to
be lost by tie vote of So. on either
side.
During the morning session Mrs.
harles S. Morris suggested that since
the, federation treasury held balance,
it would be well to consider whether
at the next state convention the fed
GRAFTON might not vote a substantial
sum to the chair of domestic science
at acknowledgements college.
After the session in the morning the
Monday club of Ashland entertained
the members of the federation, visiting
club women and members of the press
at a luncheon.
Town Improvement interests and IL
brary interests occupied the afternoon
session yesterday Mrs. j. l.. Clements,
the chairman of the committee, made
its report, and Mrs. Herman j. Hall of
Chicago made an address on the sub
ject. Mrs. Charles Catlin told of the
work done in Milwaukee by the Out
door Art association.
The report of the travelling library
committee was presented in the after
noon by Mrs. R. G. Thwaites of Mad
ison. The trend of the report seemed
to imply that for many of the travel
ing libraries of the federation there has
been no call from clubs, particularly
certain collections Of history.
Mrs. Charles s. Morris followed with
paper on How May the Federation
Cooperate with the Free Library Com
mission? MISS Stearns discussed the
declarations travelling library, Mrs. l.
L. Lenroot of Superior made the re.
port of the special library committee.
