CLUBS MEET IN C0VuVCT0N
Talks and Addresses by Mrs. Babin, Mrs.
Eastman, Mrs. Waldron and Others

The Sixts District Clubs of thu
Federated Societies of Louisiana me1
ct the school building in Covingtor
Friday evening, October Is, to con
suit as to the best means Of promot.
Ing the work Of the Sixth District
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. L. U. Babin, Of Baton Rouge
president.
Among the matters that the Fed.
Grafton is interested in promoting
and improving are music. art and
conservation, and to this end prizea
have been offered for best musical
composition, best art production,
beautified homes. gardens, schools.
etc. The association is nonsectarian
and nonpolitical and the work Of the
women has been harmonious and has
met with enthusiastic support gen
orally. However, at the present
time there is such great demand for
the best efforts Of the Clubs in the
various parish fairs, schools and
other matters that the members of
the Sixth District were not able to
attend in such numbers as had been
anticipated, and Mrs. Wilkinson, Of
shreveport. State president, was TAX
en- Ill suddenly and was unable to
be present. For these reasons the
extensive plans for the reception
and entertainments Of delegates were
modihed to some extent.
Mrs. VIM. Bodebender, correspond
Ing secretary, acted as master of
ceremonies and introduced the
speakers. The address of welcome
was made by Miss Kate Eastman,
president Of the w. P. U of Gov
lngton, as follows:
president and Delegates:
congratulate myself that am
president of the Women's Progress
eive Union Of Covington just at this
time, because it now becomes my
privilege to welcome to our town
this body of distinguished women.
1t Is with sincere pleasure that bid
you welcome, and express our graft
ncation that you have chosen Gov.
iagton as the place of meeting
though We grieve that our town has
Oeen shorn of much of its accustom-
60 beauty by the devastation that

United effort, federation and CO.
operation is the key to this success.
Large bodies of women, all over
the world. are casting their influence
for good. along all lines of work,
and creating higher standards and
ideals.
I'VE are leaders in religious life.
We are leaders in the moral life.
We are mems equal in the educa-
tional life. We are workers in the
charitable life, and helpers in the
civic Life.
I'VE have many examples Of wo-
mans energy, wisdom, strength Of
purpose and her utter disregard for
power or reward. when she is ex-
erting her influence for good.
I'm q small town in the state of
Kansas the mayor, q woman, set
aside an appropriation and had built
small but pretty cottages with gar
den plots for the Summing people
Of her town, thus relieving condi-
tiOns undesirable and bring beauty
and comfort into warped lives.
Cleanup campaigns, sanitary
conditions, pure food laws, child la
Dor laws. Fairgrounds, beautiful
parks, good schools, are only few
Of the good things advocated by wo-
men and emanating from her brain.
Perhaps the greatest influence be-
ing felt today in communities where
women's clubs are. is 'trespect." We
do not mean by this that men did not
respect US in grandmather's time.
Men have always been courteous and
kind, but We do mean that men are
awakening to the fact that woman's
influence will be great in the coming

Mrs. VIM. Bodebender, for Mrs. /.

Mr.. Walter Damrosch, the emil

fork Symphony Orchestra, has been
ecently quoted as saying that There

is an absolute need-a human need
for music in daily lfe.'
There is, or seems to be, lack
of good music by q great number
of people. Since the -abominable
"rag-time craze has swept the
country, the tendency Of large ma
jority of people has been to en-
courage this sort of music.
There is nothing in rag-time that
elevates or refines. It is not artis-
tic. 1t is all we'll enough for the
modern dances, in fact it 10 the only
music for many of them; but how
different is its effect from that pro-
duced by classic theme.
The need of stimulating appre-
citation for refined. artistic music IL
being realized more and more.
Rapid strides have been made in the
East and in many cities public con-
certs are frequently given. which
are open to the masses; and in some
of these centers music is looked upon
as one of the principal subjects in
the school curriculum.
The South, in contrast, with its
harping critical attitude, has not
only stood still, but, by neglecting
to educate the young to proper ap-
probation of the art in music, and
allowing even its own musical sense
of beauty to fall into practically alb
solute disuse, has thrown itself
backward to the point where moth
ing but the jingles and syncopated
themes of popular rag" have an
honored place in the musical pleas
ures and pastimes of its life.
THE opera having lost to some
degree its true place to that of be-
ing mere excuse for social display,
has now no object to perform but
that Of snubbed and slighted set
ting for the hum of senseless con-
and it will never be of
any great musical benefit to cOmmu-
mites and sections as . whole until
It has seen the children Of the South
seated within its now empty stalls,
being trained to q true appreciation
Of an art that is a language which
begins where words end Then will
The music of the South rise again to
it's former standing, leaving In Its
path a wreck Of what is now the
popular taste.
The attendance at concerts and re-
,itals is notoriously small, except in
hose cases where, by dint of popular
Advertising, popular prices and q
general pander to the popular semi
classic and modern syncopations Of
he day throughout the performance,
he people are attracted and the
|eats are filed. But 1t is q success
,nly in its commercial gain.
It should be the duty Of parents
