made Of laws passed by the legisla-

made apparent the need of an en-
dowment, and as it had been endorsed
by the Lakeland convention, and also
at this board meeting, your president
strongly recommends same, and has
provided that the nucleus of the en-
dowment be raised today, and those
wishing to make pledges or contribu-
lions may hand same to the treasurer
until an endowment fund committee
is decided upon.

service. This should be raised with

should be a Federation general en-

purposes of the Federation. This
could not be done if raised for any
specified purpose. would suggest
that the money realized from the sale
of the History of the Federation when
published, be used for this purpose.
The year books issued by your
president, with the able assistance of
the corresponding secretary, hope
have been of valuable assistance.
They contain the many splendid re-
ports and recommendations given at
the Lakeland convention. 1t is a
precedent of the Federation that each
club be furnished two of these books.
They belong to the clubs, and I re-
commend that one copy be kept in the
club room, so that the club members
may be given an opportunity to read
the reports and become more familiar
with the Federation work, and in this
way, the club committee can better
cooperate with the state committees
The other book can be kept for the
use of the clubs officers. The an

should always be read at one of the
meetings, and it is good idea te

servation department, but be allowed
a local advisory committee, made up
of club women, from clubs located
nearest the park, if found necessary.
The land given by Mrs. Flagler is
necessarily some miles from the park,
as the state owns all the land in the
township where the park is located.
There is some splendid land belong
ing to the state joining the park,
which your president is negotiating
with the Internal Improvement Fund
of the state for an exchange, and
recommends that the federation adopt
resolution authorizing the proper
transfer of deeds signed by the proper
officials of the federation, should the
exchange be granted by the state of

land all in one body, which can easily
be managed and looked after by the

tional American Woman Suffrage AS
sociation is especially DESTROYS that
the Democratic party, at its national
convention, shall give the national as
ISOLATION special opportunity to dis
cuss the political aspects of woman
suffrage. We should like to have a
discussion confined to one point and
one point only-the justice, propriety
and political desirability of a plank
in the Democratic platform declar-
ing In favor of woman suffrage.
"And that there may be no misun-
derstandings, we should be glad to
discuss the details of such hearing
with your committee at your meet
ing in Washington on December Z, if
you can give US very brief share of
your time"
DR.. Shaw sent a similar letter to
Charles d. Hilles, chairman of the
Republican committee. The only diff
ference in phraseology, aside from
the difference in party labels, was a
reference to the fact that "if it is
agreeable to your committee, we can

signatures of subscribers, causing
same to be filed and notices published,
and application to be made to the
judge for charter, which was obtained
in May. The board authorized the
publishing of charter and bylaws,
which the clubs have all long since
received in booklet form. We have
had five splendidly attended meetings
Of the board of directors, with the
one Immediately after the Lakeland
convention, and the one preceding
this. Only one executive committee
meeting was called.
The first board meeting after the
convention was held in the presidents
home, as the guests of the Springfield
Improvement Association, in Febru-
airy. This was the largest attended of
any Board meeting ever held, due
greatly to the fact that Jacksonville
Is quite center for federated clubs.
This meeting marked the lead that
the Florida Federation has taken in
conservation by the acceptance by the
board of the Royal Palm Hammock
for a state park, from the Internal
Improvement Fund of the state of
Florida, and decision arrived at to
present bill to the legislature ask
ing that this tract, $50 acres, be
coded to the Federation, and to be
called Royal Palm State Park" 1t
was also decided to ask the legisla-
ture for 81 900 for maintenance of the
park, and the offer of Mr.. J. E. In
graham, on behalf of Mrs. H. M
Flagler, to give an equal acreage Of
land as an endowment, conditioned
upon the passage of law by the leg
islature, was accepted.
The board met by invitation of the
Civic League of Dade City in April
and the Alpha Sorosis joined in their
entertainment, as also did st. Leo's
Abbey, where the board enjoyed .
beautiful luncheon, served by the
members of the order and the ladies
of the Civic League.
The board was honored by beau
tiful afternoon reception at the Ed.
winola hotel by the hostess club.
The principle matters brought up al
this melting were the decisions on leg
islative measures, and the endorse.
ment of the memorial to be presented
to the legislature. The board author

not want to accept same, she can al
ways give it to the department work,
or the fund that needs it most.
I would especially urge the compil-
ing and issuing Of more leaflets for
distribution to assist the clubs in
their work. Many requests are made
to the president and chairmen for lit
erature, and these requests must be
replied to. Chairmen must have an
ever ready answer to inquiries, and
inform themselves to give the best
guidance, but more literature would
tighten the burden.
In company with the corresponding
secretary, Mrs. H. B. Minimum, your
president appeared before the state
board of control in July, and present
ed request for an equal division of
the Smith Lever funds for Florida be-
tween the home economics and agri-
cultural demonstration work.
The request was also made for an
expert poultry raiser and butter
maker; for "model home" for the
State College for Women, and the flu
ture location of fraternity houses on
the State University grounds, with at
least one resident professor in each,
with rules and regulations for the
conduct of these residences. The
board was most considerable, assured
us that $4,000 more Of the Smith
Lever fund would be given to the
home economics work in the state this
year, and they have recently made
provision for an expert poultry raiser
under Miss Harris, for this depart
ment of work.
The other two requests will be con-
sidered when funds are available for
buildings, although the board ex-
pressed appreciation of the Fedora
TONS interest in these matters.
In December, 1914, in company
with four board members: Mrs. T. v.
Moore, vice president at large; Mrs.
Kirk Munroe, chairman bureau of m
formation; Mrs. A. Leight Monroe,
chairman of home economics; Mrs. T.
e. Evans, president of Homestead
Woman's Club, and local club mem
bers, visited the proposed Royal Palm
State Park. Previous to the visit, the
president had written to those whose
departments and committees would be
most interested in the conservation
work, and also to those who had been
most active in the management of
Federation affairs. The approval Of
these was given before the matter
was presented to the board at all, anc
the personal visit was made the ham
mock to satisfy the president that the
tract of land was desirable for con-
servation work.
With the rare and varied tropical
growth found on this tract Of land, ii
properly handled, it will in time be-
come one of the beauty spots Of the
world. I therefore recommend that
a standing committee, to be known
as committee on parks be created
by the board of directors under the
department of conservation that car
give undivided attention to the de-
velopment, msi1tez@ace and care OF

has won intellectual converts but
very few emotional converts. It is
much easier to silence the critic in
debate than it is to inspire real al
legiance to it. This is because the
Shafroth resolution is an intricate
piece of legislation. After all, you
know, women are not very different
from men in their relish for simple
issues and simple slogans. Trying to
enthuse our women over the Shafroth
resolution has been very much like
trying to organize torchlight pa
rade on behalf of proportional repre-
sentation' or the establishment of
regional reserve banks. They are all
good tunes but they are not the
tunes you march to.
"Under the circumstances, the con-
gressional committee has had two
courses before it. The committee
could set out definitely regardless of
the time, money and energy involved
to set before the women of the
country the real significance of the
Shafroth resolution and what we be-
lieve to be its helpful and contribu-
tory relationship to the older and
broader amendment. The second
course was to leave that work pretty
much to time and the logic of events
As at present constituted the COM
mittee believes that the latter is the
wiser course. The Shafroth amend
ment came into existence to meet
certain definite political needs, and
when the women of the country see
those needs for themselves and out
of their own experience, they will
know whether they want it or not
They have never really ratified the
Shafroth amendment though they
have stood by the committee very
handsomely and expressed entire con.
fidence in its ability and its spirit
While the present committee goes
out of existence next December and
cannot, of course, speak for its sue
cessor, we wish to make plain our
feeling that the Shafroth should moi
be introduced until the women Of the
country are satisfied that they have

partment work. The chairmen put
their best thoughts into these re-
ports, as we'll as the results of a
whole years work, and / believe you
will agree with me that they are
worth while. -
I would also suggest that the club
chairmen realize that they are all adj
visory to the state chairmen of their
respective departments, and when a
club has program under a depart
ment, the chairmen should sent same
to the state chairman. Your president
has been present and made talks at
Al club meetings during the year,
covering the state from Tallahassee
to Key West, and Jacksonville to
Sarasota. Eighteen of these were
county meetings, or reciprocity days
in which representatives of 70 clubs
federated and unfederated took part;
totaling one hundred and one clubs
reached with a direct personal mes
sage from the Federation. The re-
Spouse to these invitations has been
the occasion of 5,164 miles of railway
travel, the expense of which has been
a personal gift from the president to
the work.
In the course of the year, there has
been mailed from the presidents desk
1869 communications, and about 500
pieces of literature.
The absence from home on club
visits, and this vast lot of mail, be-
sides copy for the pages, has neces-
STATED a stenographer's bill, for
which the board of directors at Fort
Lauderdale ordered that the president
be reimbursed by the treasurer.
It is hardly fair to the Federation
to cast about for presidential timber
just among those who are able to
stand the expense. 1t will likely al
ways be the case that a president
furnish some of the expense of her
office, but capability of the candidate
to furnish same, should not be para
mount issue, and the same should APP
ply to the other officers, and chair
men, hence the great necessity for the
suggested endowment. These stenog-
rapher's fees will be accepted to set
precedent if the treasury can afford
the luxury, but because it was made a
precedent during this administration
your president will do herself the
honor and the pleasure of starting
the Federation Endowment fund with
the amount so appropriated.
During the last administration, the
board of directors voted to sent the
president to the biennial, pa.ring al
expenses. This was not done because
! the biennial came at the end Of the
term, and the president felt that i.
was more necessary to spend the time
in rounding out the state work.
As soon as the Federation can af.
ford the expenses of the presidents
to the biennial, they should always be
provided for, as the change in the
bylaws was especially made so thai
they could have the benefits of The
biennial for the administration of af
fairs in Florida. If q president i.
