And so come to the text of my
sermon-the keynote of my discourse
concentration of energies.
Very wisely, in the past, the State
Federation has advocated but few
measures. 1t will be remembered
that the General Federation only
worked for two measures between the
| st. Paul and Boston bienniels The
congressional investigations into the
condition of working women and chill
dren and Free Art.
What do we most want?
We will secure the passage of a
Civil Service Reform Dil when we
determine to have it and not before.
! Do we wish Industrial Education and
Art Education promoted?
All these and more our able COM
mittees are waiting to consider if it
is your pleasure
What shall it be?
The Loan Scholarship Fund is
! growing, as the necessity enlarges
and is doing incalculable good.
The Historical Committee has
Herculean task and of much of their
labors it may truly be said, what
thou doest, do quickly" for the pio-
neers are fast passing. We know they
will be equal to the demand
A field almost without bounds
awaits the Club Extension Committee
and we feel assured it will be no fault
of theirs If we are not 1000 strong
at the next biennial.
wish might conclude without
any apology, but for the usual reasons
there is the usual delay in issuing the
Year Book. / know of no way to re-

! GRAFTON the privilege Of the Bureau
of Information, Mrs. Mary l. Wood,
Portsmouth, N. H., Manager, who will
so graciously send any desired assis-
lance.
The General Federation Bulletin is
of incalculable value to every club
woman, and prime necessity for
chairmen of committees and club
presidents.
would reiterate the request of my
predecessor that the District and
State Constitutions be read at the
opening and closing meetings of each
year for the information of all club
members Merely mental culture club
could never have held together such
an aggregation Of women as we rep
resent. The necessity Of work for the
betterment of others less fortunately
placed than ourselves and reforms in
many existing conditions has been
borne upon us and with much shrink

ing, we have taken up the task all
over this land.
And when we meet in Pocatello-
a goodly company from the North, the
central part and the extreme South
east--the women of Idaho will have
shared in the general uplift and
thereby most helped themselves.
