Printed lists of the federation scholar
ship have been sent out. to each club
from the corresponding secretary office.
1t is hoped that applications will be
sent in promptly. We have these pro-
gressive colleges with US in our desire
to do good. and we want to see our
power utilized.
I quote from a letter written by the
president of one of the most noted of
our colleges.
Please consider our university as an
enthusiastic friend of the purpose of
your organization and accept her great
appreciation of the work you are doing
Ehe scholar you sent US last year was
. very bright young woman and has
proven thoroughly worthy of your con-
ddence."
These scholarships are open to other
bright and worthy young people this
year and we hope to see every one
filled. It is the purpose of the fedora
Sion to start a loan fund for the sup
port of these scholarships. What re-
sourceful club woman can send the best
ideas fer inaugurating such an enter
the wisest, and invite suggestions.
After the club woman has done her
duty at home, in decorating herself
and her club, and subscribing for the
state club paper, there is yet something
Tor her to do The official organ of
the general federation is 1.-The General
Federation Bulletin, which comes
from 2S1 Dartmouth street. Boston, at
. subscription rate of SO cents per
year. It's announcements affirm 1t to
be devoted to ali the sociological and
educational problems which interest
women's clubs and the magazine
bears out the statement. Club women
will find it a valuable addition to their
periodical lists.
The premium list of the Kansas
state fair is out. and club women will
be particularly interested in the wom-
ems department, which makes a brave
showing. The womanly arts and
zaandicrafts are well represented, and
almost every woman may find her spe-
cialty somewhere in the list. The col
1ection exhibits will be especially in
4eresting to clubs, many of which will
doubtless enter the competitions. The
educational and art departments will
also be of especial interest to club
women, who are advised to possess
themselves of a catalogue, for if they
do not care to enter for premiums,
they will be Rratified to see the i'm
portant place awarded to women in so
large an enterprise as the state fair
The Clay Center Chautauqua assem-
bly, is practically a new conner in the
Kansas list of summer schools. but it
has put out a programme which can
not be excelled. The talent from
abroad is fine, and the departments
promise as much excellence as is ex-
pected in the lecture platform. The
club work will be in charge of Mrs.
N. J. Mcdowell of Salfna, president of
the Fifth district and corresponding
secretary of the state federation, one
