SCOUTS RACE SUICIDE THEORY

Mrs. ]. ". Orr, vice president q
large of the State Federation c
Woman's Clubs and member Of the di
rectorate of the California club. said:
No. I do not agree at all with
the speaker who says that women's
clubs are responsible for race sui
eide, because the majority of club
members are women OF middle age
: who have had their families and
brought them UP.
II you will look at the faces at
any large club gathering you will
see that as some one-Laura Drake
Gill. a former president of the As
soeiation of Collegiate Alumnae OF
the United States, 1 think it was
said; They are women who have
reached their second period OF
leisure" The club movement as a
whole is borne by middle aged
women. OF this I am sure. and so
race suicide can not be considered.
The national conventions are fair
examples, 1 think. l have been to
three and Judge by them.
i can not see how young woman
With a family of little children
could be an officer in any large
club. She has no time TO indulge
In civic work. for instance, no mat
ter what her inclinations may be.
1t requires older and more expert
enced minds, for one thing.
Club work IS exacting and is
growing more so all the time. 1t
is getting more practical and los
ing the purely social tendency.
The young women may come and
receive cheer and stimulus from
club life, as all the large topics of
the day are dealt with. but they
should not take too active a part.
That Is, as it should be, left to
the older women.

different way from the others. She

tie thing like that for so fine an
art as singing The women them
selves are actually in earnest. how
ever, in spite OF the dullness OF
the clubs, which could never ex-
cite any one to anything so serfoua
as race suicide. The real reasons
for race suicide are purely eco
non1ic. Woman will not produce
children to work IN factories. but
the question Is too large a one
for me to deal with in so BRIEF an
interview.
Women's clubs are purely eu1-
tural organizations and have ve-v
little to do with economics. They
are teaching women the value OF
cooperation, however. and thus Tar
are good.

There are a thousand members of
the Chicago woman's club and II the
statement created half the excitement
there that It has in local club circles

bold woman who dared voice such SEN
timents
In San Francisco the clubwomen de-
clare with one accord that it isn't true.
It's absurd. every one says. and there
is every possible reason given to prove
its falsity and absurdity and general
foolishness. They range from the
opinion of Miss Mary Fairbrother.

said:
think the Chicago woman Is al
wrong. Clubs have done more 10
teach women the responsibility OK
life than anything else. They are
brought to the realization or the
higher purpose OF wonanhood, both
as mothers and wives. Clubs have
brought an awakening to the true
purpose Of life. Women who for

WOMEN NEED RESPONSIBILITY

Mrs. e. L. Baldwin. president OF th
California club, said:
The speaker attributed race sui
eide to nervousness created by the
womens clubs. That is a mistake.
The latest authorities agree that
the great nervousness prevalent
among women at the present time
is due to their lack OF responsi-
bilitfes. If a woman has no re-
sponsibility in her own home she
must seek 1t elsewhere. Clubs
teach her to assume responsibilities
for others, and this Is not an age
when we can live unto ourselves.
There are the big responsibilities
that affect US all.
Clubs attract women who have
children as well as those who have
not, and believe that If a census
were taken 1T would show that
there are more clubwomen with
children than without.
We have very few mothers OF
young children in our clubs. how

HOME BEFORE CLUB

Mrs. J. c. Levy. president OF tn
Council OF Jewish Women, said:
I certainly think that too much
time devoted to club work to the
detriment of the home is Injurious
Home should be re-eminent, and
too much should not be done by the
woman who is supposed to be rear
ing family.
l am not opposed to clubs unless
they are purely for card playing
or other social purposes. I approve
of those in which intellectual or
charitable work is carried on, II
no ones responsibilities suffer.
Those women who have no re-
sponsibilities or who have raised
their families may be benefited, I
believe, by belonging to clubs
which are planned for ones ad-
vancement.
