Program Outline for Convention of Gen.
eral Federation of W0men's Clubs.

Chicago, March I2--Mrs. Samuel b
Sheath OF Ohio, second vice president Of
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, who is in charge of the program
for the biennial convention to be held in
Chicago June 9-ls, has been working
daily for the past six months, and has
the following to say in regard to the
meeting:
"As to the program, the plan is to
present two or three departments each
day by report or address from the
chairmen and to have these emphasized
by one or more expert or inspirational
addresses, given in the forenoon or even
ing of the same day, with well-planned
conference in the afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. 1t is our aim to stress these
conferences as never before. making the
conference platform place where the
club woman can bring the problem which
confronts her club or her community,
and there get solution. In this way
we have been ably seconded by the To-
cal board, who have placed at our dis
posal many and commodious conference
rooms"
In reply to our question as to the
time to be occupied by the biennial, Mrs.
Sheath said; "The entire program of
the 18th biennial is to be presented in
one week of working days, which gives
from two to three days less time than
has been consumed at former meetings.
This shortening Of time, especially in
view of the two new subdivisions Of
peace and political science, makes it nee
essary to plan most carefully so that
the work of each department may he
fairly set forth and yet avoid the ten
sion and high pressure which brings
WEAKNESS"
Especially attractive features TO which
Mrs Sheath called attention will be the
city welfare and vocational training ex-
hibits. both representing lines of activity
in which women are increasingly inter
ested. The art features are to be par
ticularly fine. Chicago offering unusual
facilities in this field.
The fact that both Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young and Miss Jane Adams are to
to its dignity and Importance. The
names OF Helen Carick Boswell, head Of
the political science committee, and Zona
Gale, head of the civics department, are
two others to conjure with. Mrs. Car

Suffrage association, viii de-
