CLUB NEWS
ISSUED BULLETIN.


The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has issued the following press
bulletin:
The news contained in recent
Washington press dispatch to the eff
feet that President Wilson had no
thought of removing Miss Julia Lath-
rop from her position as head of the
Children's Bureau, brought especial
qualification to the officers and mem
bers of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs. The reason for their
rejoicing was two-fold. In the frst
place, this organization stands en-
phatically for the principle of civil
service reform, and is distinctly on
record against the party spoils" sys-
tenn. Secondly, it had strongly urged
the creation of the Children's Bureau
Off a long time before the step was
taken. and when the president of the
Unites States conferred with the pres
ident of the Federation, Mrs Moore,
as to the selection of a chief, she and
the other oicers unhesitatingly recon-
mended Miss Lathrop. Her appoint
ment at that time was not due to
party affiliations nor to any consider
alton other than fitness for the work
Therefore, when Mrs. Pennybacker,
now president of the General Fedora
ton, learned of the effort to supersede
Miss Lathrop, not because any fault
had been found with her conduct of
the office, but solely because the place
was wanted for some persons friend
or relative, she at once took a strong
stand for her and the principles in
volved in letter which she sent to
the presidents of all state declarations,
