STATE MOTHERS
IN GRAND WORK
BANNER ORGANIZATION TO IN
CREASE PRESTIGE
CAMPAIGN NOW ON WHICH MUST
ACCOMPLISH MUCH
All Counties of State to BE Swung
Into Line for Concerted CO.
Operation by Congress
of Mothers

There are many evidences that the
several states which are endeavoring
to Wrest the banner from the Califor-
mia Congress of Mothers are to meet
| with further disappontments. AL
though this state has led the nation in
the matter of child-study organiza-
tions, the big mark set is destined to
be wiped out by achievements far
greater than those of the past.
The congress already has begun to
swing all counties of the state into
line through the modern districting
method. Faithful vice presidents of
the organization have accepted the
chairmanships of these districts and
are pulling together for the greater
cause. Assistant chairmen in every
county will give able assistance and
soon the congress will be more of a
solid unit than ever in the past.
Big Federation Scheme
In line with this action mothers of
the north have decided that the time
has come to federate their circles with
the state congress. At the Berkeley
conference it is probable that this
great scheme will be carried out and
the entire state then will prove a
friendly but formidable rival of any
section or country along congress lines.
Every link of the great California
congress chain is under the strain of
the campaign which has broadened so
splendidly during the past years. The
committees and individual organiza- |
tions, imbued with the spirit of prog |
ress and upbuilding, are entering into |
the work with renewed zeal, inspired |
by the example of Mrs. Chalmers |
Smith, state president. and her staff.
The membership committee has |
awakened all branches of the congress
to the necessity of personal co-opera-
tion in the expansion work, and Mrs. |
c. c.. Noble, chairman of that body, |
now is in san Francisco for the pur-
pose of pursuing two months organ
izing campaign from the Golden Gate
southwark.
More Circles Promised
That the result will be a number of
new and lively parent-teacher associa-
tions is patent. Mrs. Noble is one of
the most effective factors of the state
and success attends her
efforts.
In many other ways the mothers
congress is taking on new life and
greater growth. 1t is the desire of the
president and her efficient coworkers
that every association and circle of,
fcer join in the labor of Increased
and no efforts will be
spared in this direction.
State Proud of Congress
The California congress of mothers
s a great and effective organization.
It is a body of which the state is ex- !
remely proud. But, within the next /
i've years, the magnitude of the con- |
yress will be far greater than the most :
ianguine mothers now conceive, if all 4.
signs do not fail.
In the meantime it will not be out
If place for men and women who have
10 children to investigate the advan-
ages of honorary membership in the
rganzation, which means so much to
he welfare of the coming generation
nd the state. The cause is one which

nv individual within the borders of 1
