 The Arizona Federation of women's clubs now numbers seventeen distinct organizations and has total member. oh of oh =Fx women. The work of the federation is along the lines of education, civic improvement and library extension which implies that . number of cir, culating libraries ha e been sent out l in Arizona to places where reading material is scarce. and these libraries are maintained by the various clubs l There is a department of the fedora. tion work which prepares study out. lines, one for the collecting of data on the history of Arizona, and also a department of household economies Among other important accomplish ments the federation of club women were instrumental iii securing the
 passage of bill through the Arizona legislature, providing for departments of manual training and domestic sci 1 enee and kindergarten in the public
 school system and their latest achieve. ment was the introduction of the ju. yenile court measure which passed both houses of the legislature unani
 mously. This is undoubtedly the best influence which has been set afoot l for the proper government of delin- quent children, and puts Arizona in the first rank of improved social con ditions
 These women who have the interest of the community at heart and arc striving for progress in so many ways are strongly opposed to publicity and seek nothing so much as the iutelli gent cooperation of the thinking peo- pie of the territory who will recog. niZe the reason and right of their undertakings, and will appreciate that for a woman to be active and pro gressive does not at all mean for her to be "mannish.'
 One year ago the federation was entertained in Prescott. where the entire town participated in the wei come which was accorded them. The Yavapai club house was placed a; their disposal for the meetings, ard an evening reception held there al which three hundred of the promi nent citizens of the northern part of the territory were present. This year 1t Is the privilege of Douglas to have these ladies here for a period of three or four days. Douglas has never been found wanting where hospitality was in order. and it is to be hoped that this event will prove no exception to the rule. It is to be regretted that the new hotel will not be completed that the guests might carry away with them the best impressions possible but since this is the case the citizens will have to make up in cordiality what the town lacks in finish"
