The executive committee of the General
Federation of Women's clubs has issued
the following open letter:
Federation-the most puissant. the most
important and the most successful force in
the world of the past or of the present,
as it will be of the future. All great deeds
have been accomplished through 1t, all
mighty causes have been carried forward
from 1t. Every nation is a federation. The
family, the church, the school, the state
every organization Of every kind. whether
ton, the reform society, the propaganda,
the patriotic organization or the smallest
and most unknown club, is a federation.
Every person in the world is federated,
and sad indeed would be the lot of the
man or woman, whose life interest was not
concerned with others.
If we pause and think of the meaning OF
this great word to the world and to the
pdivdnai we can put put experience surprise
the benefit OF federation? Let us glance
for a moment at what the federation Of
Womens clubs has wrought for the indi-
and walks OF life.
First for the mother: IT is impossible
to estimate the value of the child study in
the club to the young mother. She has
learned how to feed, clothe and train her
and understand their varying dispositions; :;
how to take the large, common-sense view
rather than the sentimental; how to give
men Ia and '1 women. en- For the mother whose
children are at the education period the
club and the Federation have given the
study and research which have kept her in
touch with the students, so that the high
school boy and girl come to her for the
history and the literature for the phloso-
ply and the science which give them re-
newed interest and belief in the poten-
tiality OF the mother; their lives are built
more solidly on the principle that all good
comes from the home.
To the middle aged mother whose chill
dren have left the home for the work Of
W
spend lonely hours and suffer heartaches,
the club and the Federation have brought
interest in life, pleasure and enjoyment,
and. best of ALL useful work and health
Ter body and mind. So much and more has
the Federation done for the mother.
For the housekeeper II has brought the
intelligent study of her wok and probe ems
II has shown her that the knowledge Of hy-
glene, sanitation, food value and the man
fold interests of the family are a science
