The executive board of the California
Federation of Women's Clubs held a
meeting recently at the Ebell club
house in Oakland with the state presi-
dent, Mrs. j. B. Hume, in the chair and
16 members present Probably the
most important matter of the meeting
was that of the Courier, the quarterly
organ of the federation, which is to
be placed on a new basis.
Mrs. George Fredericks, who has
been chairman of the Courier since it's
inception q year ago, reported that as
her term of duty closed she felt that
the work had grown beyond that
which a. chairman without any com
mittee or assistance could assume. She
suggested the desirability of putting
the project on a more fully organized
basis.
Miss Blanche Morse, corresponding
secretary of the board, proposed that
she and Mrs. Hume be permitted to as
sumo the management of the Courier
after the next issue, they to be finan-
cially responsible, paying all costs of
publication, and if the paper proved not
self-supporting they would bear the
loss, but if it proved profitable they
were to receive the benefit therefrom.
They would do this only provided that
the state federation cooperate and sup
port the Courier as the official organ.
Mrs J. w. Orr, vice president at
posal be accepted, at least for the June
number ofrthe Courier, and furthermore
to recommend to the state convention
the offer to hereafter publish the paper
as the official organ, with Mrs. Hume
and Miss Morse as managers, in ac-
cordance with their proposal. This was
passed us nimously.
Five clubs were admitted to the fed
eration--the School Women's club of
Stockton. the woman's West Side I'm
provement club of Richmond, the
Woman's Improvement club of Calexico.
the Ebell club of East Newport and the

Interesting reports were heard from
the chairmen of the various commit
tees.
