Jersey State Federation of Women's
Clubs is being held here today in the

Civic League and the Woodbury.
Reading Club as hostesses. Mrs.
Charles r. Stockton, of Ridgewood,
the new president, is presiding for
the first time
Seven new clubs were presented TO
the federation by Mrs. A. b. Proal, OF
Nutley, vice president large and
chairman of the organization. They
are: The Woman's Club, of Chester;
the Fortnightly Club, of Cedar Grove;
College Club. of Plainneld; Rusltin
Club, of Elizabeth; Woman's I'M
provement Club, of the township of
Union, Woman's Club, of Succasunna,

Jersey City.
The address of Mrs. Stockton. the
president, dealt with the proposed
State College for Women, the fedora
tons financial connection with the
George Junior Republic, a review
of the past and look into the future.
She said in part:
State College for Women.
"The State College for Women re-
mains dominant in our thoughts. The
work may not be carried on the same
way, but the goal remains the same.
Quiescence for a time does not mean
abandonment or forgetfulness, but
only n gathering of power and re-
sources to go ahead with renewed
vigor, Our vision has been somewhat
enlarged and requires a consequent
change in foundation upon which we
are now busy. When we have built
up to the slperstructure you will hear
from us again. Mrs. Ropes having
resigned from the chairmanship of
the college committee, the duties of
this position have been undertaken
by the federation president. All money
paid should be sent to the vice-pres-
ident of your district, but the fedora
tion president will be glad to answer
any and all letters of inquiry.
owing to the financial stress oc-
casioned by the war the cuntribu-
tions to the work of the republic at
Flemington have been measurably
decreased, and ii has been thought
best to transfer the citizens of that
institution to the main republic at
Freeville, n. Y. They are kept there
at no expense to New Jersey, so that
It will not be necessary to make any
further appeals to the federated clubs
for contributions to the support of the
New Jersey citizens, the New Jersey
republic being indefinitely suspended
There is one thing--your president
would like her administration to stand
for a greater knowledge of New Jer-
sey by the citizens of New Jersey
New jerseys history, laws, resources
and conditions. New Jersey has his
tory OF deeds and persons which is a
rich heritage to us. New Jersey has
laws which we need to know in order
to protect our interests. New Jersey
has conditions which | am sure would
be a surprise to most OF her citizens,
and ! am equally sure that a knowl
edge of these conditions would be the
first step to their change New Jer-
sey has resources which make her
factor in the working life of our
nation. Do we know them? / ask the
cooperation of clubs and clubwomen
for a greater knowledge of this, our
State.
