FEDERATION OF
WOMEN'S CLUBS

Four. subjects to which the care
full consideration of the club
women during the coming year
is most urgently invited by the
General Federation: /. The
School Manse. This is suggested
in the hope that, with the proper
housing of the teacher, the school
in the rural community, like its
prototype in the city, may attract
the highest type of teacher and
become civic as we'll as an edu-
Icational center. 2. The Appeal to
Youth. This is urged with the
realization that, if the fine work
of the Federation is to endure, it
must have constant additions in
the way of youthful and enthus-
iastic workers. 3. Our Duty to
the Immigrant. This is offered
in order that the clubwomen may
help in the solution of great ma
tional problern--the Americana
ing of our immigrant population.
a. Individual Responsibility.
This is emphasized with the
knowledge that just as no chain
is stronger than its weakest link,
SO is the strength of the Fedora
ton measured not by organization
alone, but by the temper and spirit
of the individual women who
make up thu organization.

At the last meeting of the Mt
Diablo Mothers Club, Mrs. Frank
Humphreys gave very helpful
talk on the protection of the child
rem and urged the return of the
chaperone. A general discussion
followed. AT each meeting this
club has music. rendered by a
group of children or often by one
individually. This usually brings
out the mothers of those who
perform. Thus the aim of all this
is to bring out more mothers and
to interest them in what the child
rem are doing. They are also try
ing to encourage general discus
sion of the problem connected
with and pertaining to children,
Such problems should be dealt
with by all mothers clubs. Any
club desiring further information
along the lines can secure the
same by writing to its president,
Mrs. Prince Hawkins.
The Literary Club of Haw
thorne is studying American his
tory this term, using Woodrow
Wilson's book of the same. Dur

play supplied by the Ladies
Home Journal for the benefit of

ciety. Later on they will have a
ecture on Voting and the Me
chanics of Voting, for those who

The Leisure Club is enjoying
one of its most successful years.
They have formed a junior sec
ton, composed of all the young
people who are members of the
high school or above the age OF
4. This section, has its own
meeting nights and its regular
programs, consisting of lectures
and papers given by members of
the other clubs and public spirit
ed citizens. They are now plan
ming to organize a glee club and
a stringed orchestra, the latter to
be under the management of Prof.
Smith, the capable leader and
instructor of the Carson City
band.
