how happy we are TO have you with us.
We know that q goodly number have
had not only to decide the painful ques-
ton of whether or not you actually
could leave home at this crucial periou
of semi annual upheaval in every ortho-
dox household. but having made up your
minds to that plunge you have had 10
decide further between several invita-
tions. for this seems 10 be the week when
most of the women organizations IN
Delaware have said TO themselves; Go
TO let ms hold convention, or at least
give a luncheon. n tea, or party OF
some kind So we take your presence
here with us as significant compliment.

which have been entrusted TO our town.
the students. both men and women, your
bovs and your girls. To that end, the
eommandant of our college has arranged
an exhibition drill TO be given ON the
athletic field tomorrow noon. As YOU
watch this splendid body of youths, we
feel that you win rejoice to know that
the drill is looked upon as a valuable
physical and disciplinary training and
not al means of cultivating martiai
epirit. and tomorrow evening at our
Women's College, we hope TO have you
meet our Young women students.
"While we. as individuals, have our
hands apparently more than full IN
our own homes. the awful cataclysm
which is now cnnynlsing so large
part of the civilized world should
convince every thoughtful person that
we. as women, must. If we wish TO
continue to have homes. be Intelligent
and active in the affairs OF our big
home the world. This is the basic
~raison d'etre" of our clubs and a
justification of our coming together
for such a federation meeting. So
while II IL is a JOY to have you with
us and we trust an equal JOY to you
10 be here, there is also the deep
feeling that we must learn to act to-
xether on vital issues and that our
conference is therefore truly worth
while. We wish that a larger number
could be with us. but we hope that the
proceedings will reach many more than
those sitting here, for we have seen
