WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY


The program for the twelfth annual con-
ventlon of the Nebraska Federation of
Women's clubs, which will be held at
Kearney, October 9, 10 and H. has been
issued. and while Nebraska club women
have ever been fortunate in the character
of program that has been provided for their
annual meetings, this years committee, of
which Mrs A. A. Scott of Lincoln, is chair
man, has BEEN especially fortunate in
securing the presence of several speakers
OF national reputation, on subjects that are
just now claiming the efforts of club
women and others engaged in philanthropic
and educational work.
Best known among these. perhaps is Mrs.
Florence Kelly of New York, secretary of
the National Consumers league, who will
speak on the industrial program Thursday
afternoon ON THE People Who Clothe Us
and How We Pay Them" Miss Jane
Brownlee of Toledo. Ohio, will contribute
the feature of the educational program
Thursday evening, Miss Brownlee being one
ofithe recognized leaders in the movement
for the Introduction of the study of ethics
into the, public school curriculum.
Amos Mills of Estes Park Colo, who
was one of the best received speakers at
VI S'.7~Hdut pieuilidi VIII talk o. ''Our
Friends-The Trees Tuesday evening at
the forestry session. The agitation for
forest preservation has received substantial
support from club women and MIR. Mills
10 especially we'll qualified to present this
support.
Besides these some of the foremost
women Of the state will contribute to the
various sessions, and considering the recog-
nized standing Of Nebraska club women
these, unassisted, should guarantee a pro-
gram worthy OF the occasion.
While the program provides for no one
especial social feature, the social side of
the convention has by no means been
sighted. A musical at the Kearney opera
house Tuesday evening will be the prln-
cipal complimentary affair. but a luncheon
at the State Industrial school Thursday
noon and tea at 6 o'clock that evening
at the dorrnitory of the normal school will
AFFORD opportunity for visiting women To
become acquainted. The program further
notes an informal reception of delegates
by the executive board Tuesday morning
and this will make 1t possible for all TO
meet. The women Of Kearney will enter
tain the visiting club women and it is
expected that special railroad rate will
be made on the certificate plan. The pro-
gram follows:
