The Imperial Valley College Wom-
ems Club has received the lions
share of attention in the last issue
of the Journal of the Association OF
Collegiate Alumnae, which devotes
page and half to it.
An editorial in the Journal tells
about the programs of some branches
Of the national association, emphaslz-
ing the need of attention to rural
schools and to legislation affecting
education. Part of it is as follows:
There is no question that for the
most effective work on the rural
school problem we need to bring
about as rapidly as possible better
organization of the scattered college
women in the villages and the open
country. To most of our branch
members, living, as they do, under
urban conditions, such an organlza-
ton seems an impossibility. That it
is not so has been proved by the sue
cess of such branches as that Of the
Imperial Valley in California"
After a description of the local
College Women's Club, which shows
the possibility of maintaining an Or
ganization of scattered members,
many of whom do not live in towns,
but on ranches, the editor of the
Journal makes this remark:
"Imagine an organization IS VI
tai as this in every rural county"
The next meeting of the club IS
to be held ct CaleAico en- March 10,
with program devoted to "Our
Generals in charge of Mrs. Young
of Heber.
College women who have not yet
Joined the club are invited to ,ttend,
and are asked to notify Mrs. w. S.
Cummings, the president. or Miss
Bertha Griffin, chairman of the
membership committee, if they can
go to the CaleXico meeting.
