his head caught between the project

IMAM 5 CLUB.
STATE CONVENTION OF FED
ERATE CLUBS, HELD IN
ENSTON-S N-SALEM.

1t Was Ala Occasion OF Much
| Social Pleasure and of Greater
| Good for the State Along
Many Lines Miss Gertrude
Well, of this City, Writes In
tereSEingty of the Convention.
In accordance with the vote
passed at the first meeting, in
May, of the North Carolina
State Federation, of woman's
Clubs, the second meeting was
held in Winston October 18th.
The occosion was a pleasurable
and profitable one for all in at
tendance.
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs.
Reynolds entertained the Fed
GRAFTON and the ladies Of Wins
ton-Salem, at her beautiful
home, where the delegates had
the opportunity of personally
meeting the President Mrs.
Lindsay Patterson and other
members of the Federation.
In the evening a musical re-
ception was rendered the Fed
GRAFTON by the Salem Academy,
which was a great success, both
from a musical and social point
Of view. The Federation is in
debted to this Institution, not
only for this most enjoyable en-
tertainment, but also for the
use Of its assembly hall for it's
regular meetings.
The first session OF the Con-
/ ference was held W Wednesday
morning, October 7th. Profes-
sor Clewell, Principal Of Salem
Academy, opened the meeting
with an appropriate prayer, in
voking blessings and success on
the work Of the Federation. At
! ter q musical selection on the
organ and piano, the same gen
tleman extended a hearty vel
oome to the Federation in the
name of Salem Academy. It
seemed especially fitting, he
said, that an organization which
means SO much for the advance
and ennobiement of women
should hold its first meeting in
| the halls Of our institution,
! which was itself a pioneer in
emphasizing the great import
ance Of higher education for
women, Mrs. Lindsay Patter-
son, on behalf Of the Winston
Salem clubs, then gave a brief,
but happily worded addess of
welcome to the visiting dele
| gates.
In the absence Of the written
minutes Of the last meeting, a
verbal report Of that meeting
was given by Miss Poppen-
heiner, of South Carolina, who
had been present on that occa-
sion and had been instrumental
in organizing our Federation.
The morning was devoted
principally to a number of ad-
| dresses which proved interest
ing and instructive. Mrs. M.
O: Patterson, of South Carolina.
spoke of the South CarolinaFed-
GRAFTON, its first organization
and early growth. She recount
ed most sympathically their
struggles against besetting diff
fculties in their efforts towards
| firm establishment and recog
milton, and in the late officia

Jf1unpn encouraged nef SISTERS
of North Carolina in their sim
liar efforts. Miss Poppenheiner,
Secretary Of the General FEEDER
alton of Woman's Clubs, then
read a very able paper on the
General Federation. She set
forth the relationship Of the IL
dividual clubs to the State Fed
GRAFTON, and Of the State Fed
GRAFTON in turn, to the General
Federation. She d dwelt, also,
on the benefits Of Federation,
and was helpful and encourag-
ing in her remarks on theNorth
Carolina Federation in particu-
lar. Miss Poppenheiner has been
so instrumental in club work,
has done so much for our organ
ization, that her every word is
worthy to be treasured and her
advice held precious.
After Miss Poppenheiner's ad-
dress, Mrs. Letitia Walker, of
Danville, Va, regent for North
Carolina of the Mt. Vernon As
sociation, spoke of that organiza-
ton, which, under the leader
ship of Miss Cunningham, of
South Carolina, undertook the
purchase and and maintaining
Of the Washington Home at
Mt. Vernon. It was inspiring
to hear Mrs. Walker, one of the
charter members of this fifty
year-old Association, recount the
difficult beginnings and finally
successful accomplishments of
its great undertaking. She al
so extended to the North and
South Carolina State Fedora
tions an invitation to attend the
semi-centenial celebrations Of
her association, to be held at
Mt. Vernon next Spring. The
invita- ton was repeated the fol-
lowing day, and a committee
was appointed by the President
to investigate the possibility Of
acceptance in a body and the ar
rangement Of railroad rates.
The last address Of the morn
ing was that of Mrs. McIver, of
Greensboro, on the "Betterment
Of School Houses in North Caro-
lima" The subject is one that
appeals peculiarly to women for
discussion and cooperative
work, and represents a course
that can be greatly helped by
woman's activity.
The mornings programme
was varied by musical selections,
which relieved somewhat the
strenuousness of the intellectual
exercises.
Mrs. McIver's talk was fol
lowed by the appointment of
Committees on Credentials and
the Constitution, after which
the session closed, to be fol-
lowed by a car ride, rendered
the Federation by the Motor
Company Of Winston Salem.
Wednesday evening the dele
gates and ladies of Winston
Salem were delightfully."- enter
tained at the home of Mrs. W.
T. Brown.
The Thursday morning ses-
sion of the Federation opened
with a piano recital by one of
the Winston ladies, followed by
a report of the Committee on
Credentials.
Mrs. w. R. Hollowen. of
Goldsboro, then gave a magnifi-
Gently inspiring talk on the sub
ject of "The Departmental
Club" She illustrated her gen
eral remarks by the work done
and planned by the Goldsborc

cling Library and the work
along the line Of Village Inn
provement. What seemed to
impress the members most for
chilly was the decidedly altruis-
tic trend of the work and the
broad-minded nature of the
motives and activities of the
Goldsboro Woman's Club. Mrs.
| Hollowell ended with a strong
appeal to the women Of North
Carolina to broaden their own
lives and to give freely Of what
ever advantages they might en-
Joy to their less fortunate sisters,
and so to make the world better
for their living.
Two-minute reports from the
various clubs represented were
then called for and answered by
| Mrs. Cook, for The Sorosis of
Concord; Mrs. Brown, for The
Virginia Dare of Concord; Mrs.
Bord, for the Study Club Of
Concord; Mrs. Alderman, for
The Students Club of Hender-
son, (not yet federated); Mrs.
Pittman, for the Tuesday Club
of Henderson; Mrs. Parker, for
The Round Table Of Greensboro;
Mrs. Mebane, for The Border
Book Club Of Spray; Mrs. Coble,
for the Alpha Club Of Statesville;
Miss Gambler, for The Round
Dozen of inston; Miss Gambler,
Cor Fhe Book Club of Winston;
Mrs. Brown, for the Sorosis of
Winston; Miss Petty, for The
Tuesday Afternoon Club Of
Greensboro; Miss Gibson, for
The NJ. Book Club Of Concord,
(not yet federated).
The clubs so far federated
are, for the most part, small
the Goldsboro club being by far
the largest-With an average
membership of about fifteen.
Most of them are so-called book
clubs, or literary circles, with
informal meetings Of a largely
social nature. The work Of
Village improvement and of
Domestic Science seems not to
have been touched upon by
them. Aside from the attempt
al Library extension that some
OF the clubs are making. the
work done and the work planned
seems to be with a view wholly
to self-improyement and social
enjoyment. Whether the con-
y
trast is due to the eminently
able presentation of the Colds
boro club work and ideals, in
comparison with the reports
from the other clubs, or to the
comparative work actually done,
the Goldsboro club stands out
pre-eminent among her sister
clubs in the Federation for high
ideals, broad-minded principles,
and a wide scope of earnest
work.
A resolution was read express
ing the gratitude and apprecia-
ton of the federated clubs of
the cordial hospitality and the
charming entertainment ex-
tended them by the club women
of Winston-Salem, the Salem
Academy, and the Motor Com
pany of Winston Salem.
The business of the meeting
was then the adoption of Con-
stitution and Bylaws. The
Constitution of the South Caro-
lima State Federation had been
| temporarily adopted in May, un-
til we should form one Of our
own. The same was retained,

Nobody has any doubt that a large part
of the enormous expansion of bank cred
