Federation Song,
We sing the strength of union,
As we gather once again;
In knowledge there is power.
And in love, the strength of ten;
AS women Of the nation
We are mothers unto men;
Our aim-to help the world.
CHORUS
Strong, oh strong, we stand united,
Face the future, unfrighted,
Dauntless till the wrongs are righted
And love has saved the world.
Our ears have hear the challenge
OF the age-long need Of man;
We have seen the Vision splendid
And wen follow if we can! e
No longer stand we helpless,
We are marching in the van;
Oh, may we help the world.
CHORUS
We have heard the cry of children
In the cities of the world;
We have seen the flag of youth and joy
Most pitifully furied;
We have seen that sin and ignorance
The challenge old have hurled;
We long the help the world.
We call ourselves to knowledge,
That the darkness may be light;
We call ourselves to labor,
Till the wrong gives way to right,
We call ourselves to Vision
That transcends all earthly sight,
That we may help the world.

culture. They were taught by doing,
just as the pupils in the schools are
to be taught by doing these useful
things. Why, some Of those teachers
could not start saw across a board
straight. They used the wrong side
of the marker. They didn't know the
first thing about the use of the hands,,
But they learned. Now they will be
able to show how others may be
taught. 1t has been great lesson for
them. There are about twenty five
new county superintendent. Some OF
them stayed to take the full six weeks
course at the college. They became
interested and they are filed with en-
thusiasm for the new work"
This problem of how to get the vo-
cational studies into the schools and
to get a fair start with it Is one that
has given some cause for worry to the
department. The spirit manifested by
the county superintendent the past
week, in their work in the conference
at Ames, is encouraging.
