Socialism and
Femininism.

Guilty. Feminism is an opposition or
ganization that asks a reform of the
constitution, but its role is persuasive
and 1t seeks to furnish govern
meut with examples as proof of femi-
nine capacity to justify its demands. IT
is a friendly combat The adoption by
government of this French feminine
society of international action is nee
essary to the end that. guided by dip
lomatic light of which they are de-
prved, no error of procedure is pos
sible, the main object being the de-
velopment and maintenance of national
interests.
The mobilization of women in peace
times began in 1883 in Canada, where,
on the initiative of Lady Aberdeen,
wife of the governor general, there was
founded the International Woman $
Council In 1904, in Berlin. grand
international woman's congress as
sembled under the protection OF the
empress. In 1911 the government OF
Sweden received officially the members
of the wonan's council in the congress
which met at Stockholm. In 1913
grand international wonlans congress,
at Paris, was accorded the patronage of

however, that Berlin, more clairvoyant
than others, encouraged. If it did not

In the month of September, 1914, the
National Council of German Women
inaugurated. its effort to control the
international feminine opinion by the
publication of pamphlets in profusion,

to all national societies affiliated with
the alliance. The response of the
French council was the more significant
that it was signed by Mile. Marie Bonne

times, and by Mile. Julie Toussaint,
president of the National Peace Council.
1t repudiated peace and said: The

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING

the public schools solve the whole
problem.
The children's bureau feels that the
battle in behalf of the child. both in
side and outside the home, is practically
won when conditions and their signln-
canoe are once known to the proper
persons. After a careful study of what
has been accomplished through ex-
hibits, the bureau has reached the con-
clusion that such activities are among
the most helpful that have been carried
on in the child-welfare field. 1t has
recently conducted careful survey OF
compiling the data in a convenient
form has made it UNNECESSARILY easier
for communities to dramatic in the
future the case for their children.
The bureau in its study found that
the exposition plan as applied to child
life has had practically all it's develop
ment within the last five years. New
York city held the first really import
ant child-welfare exhibit in 1911. The
value of the new idea was Immediately
seen. and cities. towns and even viii
lagos have since followed the lead of
the pioneer. The children's bureau
traces the development of the exhibit
idea along three lines and recommends
that the distinction be maintained and
the varying types used according to
local conditions. The main classes are
the comprehensive child-welfare eX-
hibit. embracing all interests of child
hood from baby-saving campaigns to
the social needs of growing boys and
girls: the intensive special purpose ex-
hihit. such as the pure milk campaign:
and the junior expositions, dealing with
the hobbies of larger boys and girls
and exhibiting objects made by them.
The exhibits, the bureau points out,
may consist of charts, panels, photo
graphs. models, actual objects and ac-
tivities illustrated or explained by the
children themselves.
Gratifying results have flowed from
the exhibits in practically every COM
munity that has held them, the bureau
has found. Mothers who, through ig-
norance. were before careless of their
baby's needs. have gone home from ex-
h1b1ts with their first definite ideas of
right and wrong in the care of in
fants Parents have learned for the
first time of the possibilities of turn
ing the restlessness of growing BOYS
and girls into constructive channels.
Communities have become awakened to
the need for Fairgrounds. school med
ical inspection, birth registration, juve-
nile courts and dozens of other insti-
buttons and activities.
