THE GENERAL FEDERATION OF
WOMEN'S CLUBS, with its mem
bership Of more than a million, is
undoubtedly the most potential organ
tzation of women in the United States.
There are wheels within wheels in the
General Federation, and therein lies one
of its strong points.
newspaper woman has lately inter-
viewed various persons officially con-
nected with State and General Fedora
lions, relative to some phases of club
activity, and her report is interesting.
Among those interviewed were Mrs. L.
l. Fitzpatrick. president of the Georgia
Federation, which Is typical of the best
club activity in the South
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, who is serving her
second year as Georgia's Federation
head, calls attention to the large num-
Der of young women, many Of them
just out of college, who are active in
the club life of her State. Sorority"
says Mrs. Fitzpatrick, lis one OF our
to encourage the young college women
to join in our work.
In this connection it is recalled that
Mrs Pennybacker, president of the Cen
! efdl Federation, maze special menlloH
of this fact on the occasion of her visit
to the Georgia Federation convention
| last year and 1t is particularly note
worthy, too, inasmuch as several other
State presidents speak regretfully OF
the lack of interest in club life among
| the younger set.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick is impressed with
| the tendency in clubs to forget social
| distinctions, to cultivate the consequent
growth of the truly democratic spirit
Home and school improvement clubs
| flourish in Georgia, and although there
are comparatively few rural clubs, the
| Federation constantly encourages this
| form OF propaganda, creating a sub
| committee last october on country life
with Mrs Eugene Heard, of Middleton
| as chairman.
Last year a movement was set in mo-
| ton to organize an auxiliary to the At
lanta Womans Club. the organization
to be made OF the young married wom-
en- of the city and of the young un-
married set who are Interested in club
work. The movement was originated by
| Mrs. William Percy. a prominent club
woman, and will be given new i'm
| petus this year.
