GIVE NATIONS IDEALS

CLUB WOMEN'S CHIEF
Mrs. Ronald p. Gleason, State
President, Urges Need Of Help
ing Adopted Citizens Upon
Convention
BIG PROBLEM FOR STATE

Mrs Ronald p. Gleason, president OF
the state Federation Of Pennsylvania
Women. made stirring appeal for better
Americans In an address before the con-
vention OF that body In the Chestnut street
Baptist Church, Fortieth and Chestnut
streets. today
The great need in all this country Is for
better Americans" said Mrs. Gleason. 'ff
u Is imperative in States that are homo
genous, where only one language is
spoken. where virtually every one has tho
same ideals OF citizenship. where every
one shares the same history and the names
OF washington and Lincoln make COM
mon appeal what can be said OF such
need In Ponnsylvania, where we have
confusion OF tongues and customs. and
whore Thousands upon thousands under
stand nothing of our ideals OF citixenshipr'
Now. am optimistic enough TO believe
there n not single club here represented
that could not do something TO make better
citizens of some of its neighbors. and u
does not at all follow that those neighbors
have reasonably come from other lands.
Their ancestors may have been here before
the Liberty Boil hung In the old belfry.
and stin they may not be really good
citizens VIII you not all during the COM
ing year give serious consideration 70 the
question OF building up better American
citizen. and by doing 10 help preserve a
noble State7"
Mrs. Gleason also urged the delegates to
pay more attention to the social sides OF
club work. She said shc had great respect
for n cup Of tea, and added;
"one OF tho most thrilling things In club
life Is to look back and see how our social
vision has widened. We have grown to
see the individual rs part OF the COM
munlty. and the community as n responsible
unit IN the State.
II think IL Ia not too much to claim
that club women have done n great deal
10 hroaden the outlook OF their officials
in their home towns. More and more do
our local governments realize that they
must consider the care OF the people as
well as their control; that Il Is their duty
to look to housing, health and recreation
as well as to police and fire protection"
II was announced that thirty-four new
clubs with n membership OF $500 members
had been admitted TO the federation during
the year. This makes n total OF ass clubs
with more than $4,000 members.
Edward J, Cattell, city statistician, well
coined the delegates on behalf of the city.

DoNrr MIND F,ScTRA I,ARoR
"Rut- OF course. we do not mind the
extra work." Mrs Rippn said enthusiast
tically I'VE are only too glad TO be able
once more to follow the cases of these un-
fortunate women and do what we can for
them. According to the old way of arraign-
ing them before the magistrates. they were
either summarily imprisoned without regard
TO their physical condition--often they
needed hospital treatment badly-or forced
to pay lines.
They were literally outcasts of society;
there was no one 70 look after them When
their sentences had been served they came
out again and were forced back into the
old way Of living in order TO support them
selves Or, IL they were fined and did not
have the money, they borrowedslt at high
rates from unscrupulous men, pdshaps. and
were forced right back on the street again
IN order to pay the fine.
The follow-up work in the Misdemean-
ants Court aims to be constructive. These
women are made to feel that there is some
one interested in them that society is not
wholly against them. II they need medical
treatment they are sent to the hospital; IL
they do not, Jobs are obtained for them
and a protective eye is kept on them. They
are not forgotten the minute they leave
the court. They are given one chance
two chances, many chances. Our idea Is
to take a maternal, rather. than a vindic-
tive attitude toward them"
