Founding Pc. o.

A long time ago in 1869, there were
seven young girls in the Iowa Wesley
an University at Mt. Pleasant, among
whom there was q strong bond OF
friendship. 1t vas nearing the close
of the school yea and some OF them
were not to return the next year, and
they longed for some bond to cement
that friendship. 1t was before the
days Of clubs for women; sorosis had
been formed in New York and was a
much written OF organization, and
there had been army aid societies dur
ing the civil war. and so these W.
girls conceived the idea Of a society.
They met one morning in the music
hall of the university to organize
some sort Of club. They hadn't
any very definite idea, one said:
What shall we call the society," and
another suggested the name which
that day bound together seven girls
and today holds in one. great sis
terhood twenty thousand wome3
They were ambitious and chose for
their emblem q star. Among the
girls was one. Alice Bird (now the

ready pen and still quicker wits. One
girl said to her: Now, Allie Bird, go
home and write the constitution and
bring 1t back as you come to school
J after dinner" She went home and
ate her dinner, wrote the constitution
and got back at half past one, bearing
in her hand the document. The
strange thing about it all is. that the
essential principles laid down by
those sever girls that day are prac-
tically unchanged today. For many
years P. e. o. was a college sorority.
having city chapters somewhat after
the nature of alumnae chapters. With
the coming of Greek letter sororitics
1t ceased to be a college organization,
not being willing to give up the Eng
lish letters in its name, and is now
purely a city organization. 1t has
chapters in twenty-six states in the
District Of Columbia and in British
Columbia. Its principal philanthropy
is the maintenance Of an educational
loan fund which loans money without
security to young women desiring a
higher education, with a view OF self
support thereby. Hundreds Of girls
have been educated and thousands OF
dollars loaned. Not one dollar has
ever been lost because a girl failed
to epay her loan.

Ladies of Charity

In Keokuk there Is a branch OF the
first charity organization ever formed
by lay women the original ~organiza-
ton having been established by St.
Vincent in 1917. Up to that time the
charity work had been done by the
priests in c%loisters. The Ladies Of
Charity ~antedated the organization
Of the Sisters Of Charity seventeen
years.
The Keokuk branch Of the Ladies Of
Charity was formed January 10, 1918
and Is affiliated with the interna-
tional society, the headquarters Of
which are in Paris. The suggestion
for an organization Of a Ladies Of
Charity in the three Catholic par
ishes here came from Mrs. I. A. Saw
yer. The active work Of organization
was done by Sister Margaret, who
has been a very helpful advisor. Mrs.
Alois Weber, the president has
worked very hard and with the faith
a great amount Of good has been &C
complished. The society has 2O6
members and meets on the third
. Sunday Of each month at 4 o'clock at
st. Vincent's hall, which they have
recently furnished and redecorated.
The aim Of the society is to coop
crate with every organization in the
city doing public welfare work. They
have expended in money since their
organization, s464.92; have given the
V. n. A, s25; furnished a room in the
B. Q. Home at a cost Of $3.50; gave
the Red Cross fund So; furnished st.
Vincent's hall, s50.95; and gave st.
Vincent's school SIS. They have aid
ed families, given out $50 articles of
clothing, furnished fifty baskets at
Christmas, given toys n gifts to sew
enty-five children at Christmas and
at Thanksgiving distributed three
hundred cans of fruit, vegetables. jel
ly, etc. They placed one elderly
woman in a local hospital and cared
for her until relatives assumed the
responsibility. An elderly woman was

The first suggestion for the estab-
of a visiting nurse assocla-
ton in Keokuk was made by the late
Mrs. c.. d. Streeter, president OF the
Young Women's Christian Assocla'
ton. She appointed the chairman OF
the educational committee, to do the
preliminary work and to interest
twelve women who should form the
board of directors, which work she
did.
Mrs. Hugh l.. Cooper made III hrst
large contribution which made 1t pos
sibie to establish the work at once.
The first formal board meeting was
held on January /. 1913, in the old Y.
" c. A. headquarters on Main street.
Mrs c. NJ. Rich was elected president,
Mrs. ]. ]. Ayres, vice president; Mrs.
/. A. Sawyer, recording secretary;

Mrs. Harry ]. Reeves, Mrs. Robert
Wright, Mrs. Richaru Washburn Child,
Miss Younker and Miss Stanton
Collections were taken in all the
churches in January and a number OF
personal pledges made, in all about
$500. The loan closet was also
equipped In January and February.

Historical Sketch of
Visiting Nurse Association
Story of What This Organization Has Done IN
Its Short Life in Keokuk for All Classes
of People.

, established between the physicians
and the association a the beginning
which has done much to promote the
usefulness Of the nursing service.
Miss Habenicht began work on Feb
ruary /, 1913. Early in the year che
Metropolitan Insurance work began
and has been carried On every month
since. The nursing work in h pub
lie schools was begun as an expert
ment. On December s DR.. Stewart,
director Of school hygiene of St
Louis, gave a public lecture in the in
te-ests of school work. In January,
1914, the nursing service was estab'
lished in the public schools, Miss
Habenicht giving a half day five days
In the week to the work.
Factory nursing was begun in De,
cember, 1913. T~wenty-one factories
and wholesale merchants give month.
ly to the association in exchange for
nursing service to their employees. A
number of substitute nurses were en-
ployed at intervals during the year.
The second nurse, Miss Maud Brown,
was elected and began regular duty
on December 1, 1913.
She a been in Cleveland, Ohio,
the past three months, taking a spec
ial course in child welfare work, and
IT. maternity nursing. There are now
seventy babies under the care OF
the nurses and the child welfare work
will receive especial attention from
the association.
In March an educational campaign
was conducted to familiarize the pub,
lie with the dangers Of tuberculosis.
DR.. A. E. Kepford, state lecturer fol-
the state board of control, gave
twelve lectures and visited the dis
tr1cts in this city where tubercular
cases are found. This city has q
much larger percentage Of tubercu
losis than is found in other cities. II
the colored people, and u large col
ored population makes the percent
age of cases high here. The visiting
nurses have given very special atten,
i ton to tubercular cases, since the
disease is so contagious and unless
treated properly is always fatal. The
Visiting Nurse association, together
with the Industrial association, are
working for the establishment OF a
tubercular hospital as provided by the
state law. There is a great deal OF
sentiment among the factory owners
and those who employ labor In favo,
Of this hospital. The carrying out OF
the law rests with the board Of su
iperv1sors. and one of their functions
being to carry out the law, it is hoped
the hospital will be established.
The work of this association has
been successful from the first day, due
to the fact that the work is needed
and because the board has given to il
careful thought, the public has given
generous support and the nurses have
given conscientious, skillful work.

in the state, having been or
ganized in 1898. The organiza-
ton was affected largely through
the efforts of the late Miss Cora H.
X. Pittman, who was its first regent.
The first meeting was held at the
home OF Mrs. j. B. Diver.
The object OF the d. A. R. society
is not alone to keep in memory the
heroic deeds of their ancestors. but
to promote patriotism.
In the years Of its existence, the
Keokuk chapter has many achieve
ments to its credit. For several
years prizes were offered in the pub
lie schools, In the higher grades. for
the best essay on some topic OF
American history. This chapter aided
In securing from the legislature an
appropriation to mark with a suitable
monument the grave Of a revolution
airy soldier, who is buried in sheroH
cemetery in this county. Largely
through the efforts Of this chapter
adequate law for the protection OF
the American flag in Iowa was passed
at the last session Of the legislature.
The completion of the Keokuk monu-
ment, with a splendid bronze statute
of Chief Keokuk, at a 8 OF more
than $4,000, is too fresh in the minds
of the people of this city to need
comment. The president Of the ma
tional society, Mrs. William Cumming

The accusation has been a now
and again against the d. A. X. so
ciety that its excuse for existence IS
merely an aristocratic one, resting
upon the deeds Of it's ancestors. Most
certainly that accusation does not
apply to the Keokuk chapter, for they
themselves have accomplished many
things worth while. There are many
small things they do, as always dis
playing in their homes, the American
