convention of women's clubs. but this
time the press has not kept the pub
lie informed as to its program, its
scope or it's aims Therefore when
Zona Gale and ! were privileged to re-
ceive an invitation to attend this con.
ventlon through our fellowship with
the Frederick Douglass Center, we ac-
cepted, expecting possibly to see some
good reason why this group OF 400
del. gates, representing $4,000 other
club women, should be isolated to do
their work unaided by groups OF white
women doing exactly the same work
simply because there was some fan
cied racial characteristic or a differ
ence in the complexion which keep
them apart.
The convention met at Wilberforce
university, one of the oldest schools
for colored people in the country. The
school was opened in 1S47 and was in
corporated as a university in 1856. 1t
Is co-educational, is well equipped, has
its trades building with fine auditor
ium in Galloway hall, where the con-
vention met.
The thirty university buildings are
ideally situated three and half miles
from Xenia, among splendid oak trees
We arrived with many others and
were duly registered and assigned to
one of the dormitories before our ra
cial difference was discovered, and one
of us might have gone through the en-
tire session without discovery based
upon physical characteristics had we
not said that we were there upon invi.
tation of the president of the associa-
tion. We were then taken to the home
of the president of the university.
where we were cared for with gener-
GUS hospitality by Professor and Mrs.
Scarborough during our entire stay.
The reception to the delegates in the
evening was marked by nothing to
| distinguish 1t from any other well
dressed, well hammered body of club
women except perhaps that there was
a modesty and fitness of dressing not
often seen in similar assemblies.
The regular session opened on Tues.
day morning with Mrs. Booker T.
Washington in the chair. The pro.
gram included men who did not differ
from men in other groups who failed
to keep within the time limit of speak
ing and who sometimes forgot that
they were not speaking to intellectual
interiors or to children. They were
indulgently dealt with by the presi.
dent, an indulgence which was never
shown to women. for no paper was al.
lowed to go beyond the time assigned
to 1t.
The program contained reports from
nearly every state in the Union, show.
ing an amount of charitable and well
fare work hardly realized by those not
in touch with the work. Such subjects
as Suffrage" "The Negro In Litera
ture." How May the Club Spirit Best
