I'VE shall send out bulletins as Of

lie whatever information will interest
and enthuse the club women through
out the country. The bulletins will be
mailed directly to all clubs in Kansas
which are directly affiliated with the
General, Federation. These clubs will
also be reached by announcements
which we shall make from time to
time through the Federation Bureau
under General Federation News. Sew
eral copies of each bulletin will be
mailed to you as state president, and
we ask you to disseminate the infor-
nation therein contained in whatever
way seems to you best, to the local
press and to the clubs of Kansas, which
do not hold membership in the Gem

The kindergarten bill which passed
the house last Tuesday, completes our
Legislative work for this year. We
were modest in our scope, and did not
try to do too many things. The Pure
bill, and the Kindergarten bill-these
three were the sum of our efforts, and
all were successful. Whatever credit
attaches to work in this line. reverts
back to the club women, for they real
ly did this work. although but few of
them were called upon personally for
assistance. 1t was not done by the ex-
board and Legislative committed work
alone, but by the power behind them
of our thousands of loyal club women,
who made these achievements possible.
Senator Porter and Mr.. F. B.
Wheeler both of Pittsburg, looked af-
ter our kindergarten bill in senate and
the federation by their work for us in
this instance.
