 of approximation in streets. cars and | buildings While these efforts have all | been beneficial and efficaciOus in | themselves, their most Wide-reaching effect has been the awakening of the municipal and public conscience in matter of public sanitation and health In towns where the public library is yet struggling for existence, or where there is none. the federated club has shown itself ready and eager to help, by securing donations of books. and even by taking entire charge of | the library The federation committee | on social conditions inaugurated the movement for providing a library in the Arizona Pioneers home at Pres colt Through their influence. several | hundred books, together with maps and a large number of subscriptions to papers and magazines. were donated. Since that time others have become
 interested in the undertaking. and the result is d very creditable library. The Monday club of Prescott presented to the Pioneeers' home a large flag of the United States.
 No course yet taken up by the Fed | eration of clubs has brought more satisfaction to those interested in edu- cation than has the establishments of the Girls Scholarship Fund of Ari- zona This movement was only begun | last January at the annual conVen- tion but has met with such success that in September of the present year scholarship of S75 was bestowed upon young women who is sophomore at the University of Ari
 zona and there yet remains in the ! treasury of the committee s250. The work is under the control of the Fed eration committee on education, and their ultimate purpose is the acqui- sition of a permanent endowment fund, the interest of which will be sufficient to maintain three scholarships annu- ally, one for each of the three state institutions for higher education. The scholarship will be awarded as a rec ognition of earnest purpose and high class standing, but it is the desire of those conducting the work that the recipient be a young women who Is in need of financial assistance to com plete her college course.
 Any resume of the club life of the state would be incomplete without mention of the club house, which is an ambition of so many of our or ganiZations. The WOman's club of Phoenix has this autumn opened new S16.OO0 club house. and the clubs of Bisbee. Prescott and Florence also own their own homes. others have rented rooms. furnishing them with pianos. pictures. rugs and all articles that constitute d homelike. hospitable meeting place Several clubs have purchased lots and have consider able fund toward building in the tu- ture. It is difficult to Overestimate the influence of these clubhouses. forming as they do a distributing point for currents which go forth to broaden and upIift both the individual and the municipality.
 From this deep. silent force of the organization we have d right to eN- pect much. Ministering here to the sick and needy. touching there public health and cleanliness-on one side
  and young women, on the other side directing mothers in the work of self improvement and intellectual advance ment-yet as a body demanding Tor itself no right of suffrage or any special privilege. hampered by no re- strictions of clique or social circle the Woman's club cannot fail to pro mote the best in every locality.
 To the members of the State Fed- eration it is an abiding satisfaction to believe that as it has been in the past so it will continue to be in the future. d faithful cOnserver of it's own high aims and of public interests; that in the communities represented, there is. because of it. more culture, more intelligence. more civic pride, and that the lives of it's members have become, through it. more earnest and more pur- pOscful.
