! pOIItu HO WOIA uohe, but PitSNhSSN resolutions from the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs to be rat flied by the Arizona Federation, en- dorsing five bills now pending in Congress, namely: The Owens bill, creating a Department of Public Health, whose head is to be a Cab met officer; the revised Davis bill. for the establishment of vocational schools for training in agriculture. trades, industries and domestic eeo- nOmies; the bill looking to the pro- teetion from accident in dangerous employments and remuneration of injured persons; the more stringent bill against adulteration of foOdsS the bill looking to the suppression of the White Slave traffic.
 All of these most desirable meas ures the Federation endorsed heart fly.
 Informally the discussion of the plan of raising funds for a scholar ship for girls was taken up, and it was found that many warm-hearted women had pledged money which would enable two young women pre- viOusly spoken of, to continue in the University of Arizona. When a permanent scholarship is available. it will be divided between the two Normal schools and the University. The warm and friendly response to this fine purpose of aiding worthy girls to an education, seemed fit ting companion for the report of the Department of Philanthropy, read by Mrs. Franklin of Tucson. This paper was so full of practical sug- gestiOns and wise deseretion and tact that it might be published as guide for charity workers in general, for the methods revealed were as com mendable as the work accomplished Part of this work was helping a little elub-footed boy to be treated by surgeon until he could walk upon straight and shapely foot.
 The work of the Department of Arizona History was reported by the chairman, Miss SbarlOt M. Hall, and showed a great gain through the year.
 Miss Mary E. Post of Yuma. who | for thirty-five years has taught Tn the Arizona schools, followed with a remarkably well considered paper on ''The Study of Local History As Training for Citizenship" This fine paper will be given later, with review of Miss Halls informal talk on "Arizona Schools and Arizona | History y''-she having spoken on To- i cal history in many schools during the past year.
 The afternoon session closed the | ninth Federation, a vote of the whole fixing upon Phoenix as the next meeting place, and January, | 1912, as the date.
 | Since the Arizona Federation of WOmen's Clubs was formed, nine years ago, and its destiny shaped | by its first president, Mrs. A. G. ! MeClatehie, a woman whose noble personality and able work will live as long as women seek strength in organized effort, there has been no Federation more successful than this ' one which closed under the blue skies of the lovely Mountain City, with | spirit of friendliness and mutual | sympathy and encouragement, which will go with each guest and each member of the hostess club, through all the year to come and bespeak greater numbers for the tenth Fed eration-this one being the largest i up to date-and the same good joy in wOmanly work together for all ! good ends-home and child and city and State, and that larger world which is equally our own.
 | In closing, the following resOlu- tiOns were passed, and will be in eluded in the Year Book:
 | EPaSolva6-That tho ArizOno Fed eratiOn of Women's Clubs, in it's ninth annual session. expresses to the Monday Club of Prescott, the warm. est thanks and appreciation for the. ! hospitality which has made this ses- sion so delightful, and so full of in spiratiOn for our future work.
 ''That the sineerest thanks of the Federation be extended to the gen tlemen of the Yavapai Club, for their generosity in placing their freely at the service of the Fedora tiOn.
 "TO the Press of Prescott, which has given room to lengthy reports, and notices of meetings and work, and thereby given the first aid in making the ideals of the Woman's I Club movement known to the gen eral public, grateful thanks are of fered.
 ''The Federation tends appreeia- tion to Mrs. Walling, Mrs. Gardner, Mrs. Levy, Mrs. Colin Cameron, and to all the ladies whose quick and generous response made possible the immediate realization of the hope of a scholarship for girls.
 "The Federation has sustained an ! irreparable loss in the death of Mrs Trais of the Village Improvement Club of Florence. and of Mrs. Gran dall of Yuma, former Corresponding Secretary of the Federation.
 ''The sineerest regret is expressed for the FederatiOn's loss, and the fullest sympathy is extended to the families and friends of these noble and useful wOmen.''
