FROM THE PRESIDENTS NAIL
lThe Federation Rulletin. ]

(The Federation Bulletin.)
The following letter has been re-
ceived from President Roosevelt, and
1t explains itself. The invitation was
accepted: H. ..
March "a, 1908.
Dear Madam: Recently l invited
the governors of the states and ter
ritories to meet in the White House
on May 13th-15, in a conference on
the Conservation of Natural Re-
sources. In issuing the invitation,
expressed the opinion that there is
urgent need taking stock of our
resources, and l added my belief that
the conference ought to take rank
among the more important meetings
in the history of the country.
The replies to the invitation have
been most gratifying. They indicate
that practically all of the governors
each with three special advisers, will
attend the conference. The senators
and representatives of the Sixtieth
Congress, the Justices of the Su-
preme Court, and the members of the
cabinet have also been invited to
take part; and the Inland Water
ways Commission, which suggested
the conference, will be present to re-
ply to inquiries and make record OF
the proceedings.
A limited number of leading asso-
Citations of national scope concerned
with our natural resources will be
invited to send one representative
each to take part in the discussions.
The general purpose Of the confer
ence Is indicated on pages 24-26 Of

May is month of conventions for
Southern club women.
The South Carolina Federation of
Women's clubs met in Greenville, s.
c., May 5th-7th; the North Carolina
Federation in Greensboro, N. c., May
5th-7th, while the Virginia Fedora
ton met at Bedford City, Va, May
12th-14th Each federation has ar
ranged an interesting and helpful
program and all three in common
have the anticipated pleasure OF an
address from Mrs. Emma Fox, the
author of Parliamentary Usages for
Women's Clubs and former vice
president and recording secretary OF
the general federation. Mrs. Fox
will be a most welcomed and helpful
visitor and will add much to the pro-
gram of the declarations. The import
ant feature of the Virginia Fedora
ton meeting will be the question Of
joining the General Federation.
North Carolina will have a special
attraction in an address on South
ern Literature" by DR.. c. Alphonso
Smith of the University of North
Carolina, while South Carolina will
celebrate it's tenth annual convention
by inaugurating it's first Literary
Session. Virginia and the Carolinas
have a common inheritance and the
women of these states are bound to-
gether by ties of blood as we'll as
common history and similar envir-
onment, and in consequence their
problems are very much alike, there
fore their club work falls along par
allel lines. The department of Civics
Philanthrophy, Education and Lit
erature are receiving especial atten-
ton in al three of these declarations
and each one Is faithfully and earn
estly bearing it's share in the up
building of it's respective stcate.
These annual State conventions Of
club women do much to inspire the
average woman with an interest in
those civic, philanthropic and social
reforms with which the American
club woman of today has allied her
self, and such gatherings act as CEN
tiers from which radiate an enthusi-
asm and esprit de corps which bind
the women of state, irrespective of
all distinctions, with the comomn tie
of womanhood. This appeal to wo-
manliness in material age is a
strong and valuable one and is a
keynote of the club movement. The
Southern woman has always been
naturally social creature and her in
f1uence strongest in the development
of social arts and the community life,
and this influence the Southern club
woman in her State Federations is
using today, to direct the social ideals
of her section. Tilt

and surrounding towns, which claims
nine men and few bats. has laid

We have met and defeated nearly ev-

that these games were lost through

remark made by DIR. Charles Zueblin
of Chicago university during the
course of a lecture at the chautauqua
this afternoon. Zueblin went on to
say that such a thing as has been
done in Richmond is justified upon
the ground of social utility. For,
said he, "A monopoly is better than a
wasteful compe tition. No city should
let one corporation have a grip upon
things.

REGRET EXPRESSED
Forced Resignation of Supt.
Carr of Dayton Schools
The Cause.
POLITICS IN THE FIGHT.

Regret has been expressed by local
litical combination that brought
about the dismissal of John w. Carr as
superintendent of the schools at Day
ton, Ohio. Supt. Carr is we'll known
in this city. Before going to Dayton
he was in charge of the schools at An
derson and it was because Of the repu-
tation he made while there that he was
offered such inducements to go 10 Day
ton that he could not afford to refuse.
Since being placed in charge of the
Dayton schools. Cars reputation has
extended over several states. He was
successful in all ways, but incurred
the disfavor of a few members of the
about his release. By Vaccinations
of various kinds including designations
and appointments. the enemies of Carr
managed to secure control of the
school board and when the time for the
selection of the superintendent for
next year arrived, votes were traded
and manipulated so carr was rejected
and Edwin J. Brown was elected.
The Dayton Journal calls Brown a
small politician, and says he is unfit
for the big job.
Supt. Carr has been a visitor to this
city often. At one time he delivered
a series of lectures in connection with
