MIR. HoWeliS' Letter

By request of the superintendent
Of libraries of New York, Mr.. How
ellis wrote a letter on his seventy
fifth anniversary, which was read
in all of the public schools.
His closing words were these
While | wish you to love America
most because it is. your home, |
would have you love the whole
world, and think of all the people
lin ii as your countrymen. You will
hear people more foolish than wick
Ted say, Our country right orwrong,
but that is a false patriotism and
bad Americanism. When our coun-
TRY is wrong she is worse than other
countries when they are wrong, for
she has more light than other coun-
tries. and we ought somehow make
her feel that We are sorry and
ASHAMED for her.

Of Interest

The biennial report of the Louis

for 190-i9ii has been received. 1t
lis a publication to be proud of, and
the spirit Of it is magnificent
sweep of the heart strings of our
women, thrilled to the clarion call
Come up on be doing
The presidents message is inspir-
ing. She speaks clearly and to the
point. a few terse closing sentences
will serve to show that every mem
Der is called upon and expected to
do her duty; no resting upon laurel !
won but with faces to the front they
Ihave greater things to yet do.
Mrs. Porter says: 'The work of
the year has just begun. Its success
does not depend alone On your Off
GERS and committees, but rather up
on the cooperation of the club wo-
men Of the State"
There are Sc clubs in the Louis
lana Federation. The chief subjects
studied are Sanitation. Household
Economics, Conservation. Health,
Music, Excellent reports are made
by the chairmen of each committee.
The president of the State FEEDER
|ation is a very able woman with
fine intelligence, broad and sympa,
thetic in her conception of things,
she has given strength and conf
dence TO the work of the federated
clubs of Louisiana. Her administra-
tion of club affairs has been entirely
harmonious.
The following interesting extract
lis made from her excellent address:
Some conception of the growth of
women's clubs can be had when we
consider that the general fedora
ton of such clubs was organized in
1890. a.
The Federation then consisted of
sixty clubs, representing seventeen
states, now it has more than a thous-
and from the different states, with
a membership in the General Fed
Grafton and associated organizations
of more than 100000.
The work of the clubs was gen
orally speaking. at first narrow and
superficial; but growth in this re-
gard has kept pace with member
ship, until all of the vital problems
which so profoundly affect our Soc
iai system, on being studied and dis
cussed by earnest women all over
the land.
But more than this. The women's
clubs are not merely studying, they
are actively in many localities work
ing to secure reforms on such great
subjects :. as Civic Improvement,
Child Labor laws, the preservation
of the public health, the conserya-
ton of our natural resources.
State and National, the better. pro-
lection of the health and morals OF
children in city and country in
short. all those things which. pertain
to the moral and physical welfare
of the home and the state"
The next annual meteing of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs
will be held in Jeanerette April IL
