Women s Clubs.

The past week has been full of in
terest for club women throughout the
state, having witnessed the largest
and in point of accomplishment. the
most important convention of the state
federation ever held in the state. The
fact that the club women reported an
expenditure of nearly $1,000 for the un-
fortunate boys of Canyon Crest is in
itself something of which they may well
be proud. But in addition to that they
voted unanimously TO make especial eff
fort for the next year for the Y. w: C.
A, which means a substantial bit of
growth for that worthy cause. They
endorsed the movement of the teachers
for the states aid in pensioning school
teachers, and decided to appoint a COM
mittee to cooperate with the teachers
in all their efforts to get a more salts
factory arrangement of the present law
and to get a real fund started instead
of taxing the teachers still further. In
deed, they did much, not so much along
lines of self-culture and seif-help, but
along lines of helpfulness for the state
and for it's dependents. The three club
women who will work with the teach
erS for the success of the pension
movement are Mrs. A. ]. Gorham of
the Ladies' Literary society. Miss Ro-
sale Pollock of the Monday Night club.
and Mrs. F. S. Richards of the Utah
Woman's Press club.
