Clubs. reach $4,000 before the endow-
ment fund committee submits it's report
before final adjournment tonight, were
made last night at an endowment confer
ence in the Oak room of the Raleigh Ho-
tel. Mrs. W. X. James, chairman of the
field committee on endowment, opened
the conference with a spirited speech.
in which she urged the women to get
down to work, for she believed the fund
could soon be raised above the S32, 90
which already is subscribed.
Mrs. James declared that she didn't
have the slightest DOUBT that the whc,e
of the proposed fund would be raised
1T can be DONE she sad. 1T is all in
the way you go about it, Mrs. James
outlined a plan by which members could
enlist interest in the WORK of raising the
fund.
First, she told those in charge of the
various state funds to get copy of the
proceedings of the last biennial, where
launched. Study some part of that each
day." she said. Then go out and preach
its gospel.
At the conclusion of Mrs. James speech
the HtdUS Vi the endowment IunOS In the
various states told Of the troubles ex-
perienced in raising the national endow-
ment, and others offered ideas for rails
ing the money. Some declared that
the national fund conflicted with
the endowments of various states
which were started about the same time,
while others asserted that the appeal
came at the end of the year, when the
clubs had very little money in the treas
ury. 1t was suggested that another ap-
aol CHI out !, hon nj, 49, -

One plan suggested that the speech of
Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker at the San Fran
cisco biennial, outlining the fund, should
be presented In booklet form and distrib-
uted. This, it was declared could not fail
to bring results.
The proposed fund is to be a memorial
to Mrs. Decker, who died while attending
the biennial convention of the general
federation in San Francisco in 1912. She
was then president. The fund is to be
used in promoting the work of the fed
