THE NATIONAL
CIVIC FEDERATION

Mrs. Philip Saltonstall who, with
others, will speak on Friday after
noon. April I at the residence Of Mrs.
J. VI. Haynes on the National Civic
count Of it's history and aims as fol-
lows:
The idea Of the National Civic Fed
Grafton grew out of the National Con-
ference on combinations and trusts
held in Chicago in September. 1893,
under the auspices Of the Civic Fed
Grafton Of Chicago, an organization
dealing with municipal reforms only.
This conference was attended by
some 500 delegates sent by the gov
errors of the States and by organiza-
lions Of eve = description.
The bylaws provided for standing
committees on IS subjects Of national
import some o. which were Foreign
Relations, Banking and Currency, La
Dor. Education, Taxation and Immi-
grafton.
In 1900 the industrial department
of the, National Civic Federation was
organized. In December, 1901, the
first annual meeting was held and
Marcus A. Hanna was made presi-
dent.
The composition of the Federation
is unique as is indicated by the rep
resentatives Of three groups on the
executive committee, employee, en-
ployer and the public.
1t differs from most organizations
in one vital characteristic. it has a
membership with common object
but with very different interests
bringing together representatives of
all parties for mutual discussion and
exchange Of ideas. II Is this demo-
cratic spirit prevailing the organiza-
ton which finds expression in all its
work.
The purpose OF the Federation is to
organize the bet brains Of the nation
in an educational movement for the
advancement Of industrial and social
progress and to aid in the crystaliZa-
ton Of the most enlightened public
opinion and when desirable to pro-
mote legislation in accordance there
With. The organization is non-par-
tisan and non-sectarian and is SUD-
ported by voluntary contribution.
In 1908 Woman's Department was

a great agricultural state, but that in
feaolns the geography he found that
II was not. He found Maine a preat
manufacturing State with 5000. oOo.-
wy invested in manufactures. The
ls1o census showed 10000 less peo-
pie on the farms than in 1850.
ne stated that he then commenced
TO study the human element and in
studying Maine and its climatic con-
oltlons he found that it could be-
come one of the greatest agricultural
states. He found that there was =
natural stock raising country in the
state and that Maine is a great nat
ural apple orchard.
ABOVE all Maine raises men. and he
mentioned the names of the great
men from the State whose deeds will
never be forgotten. In closing his talk.
ne painted picture of Maine in 1920
when the love of nature will have
drawn back the people to the coun-
try and when the country will have
all the convenienceS of the CITY. and
even more due to new discoveries and
inventions. He stated that when the
people Of the State can get together
in religion. in business and industry
IN agriculture. and in other lines
Maine can become the greatest state
in the Union.
DR.. Thomas address was appreci-
ated by all in attendance and he was
given a rising vote of thanks. A vote
or thanks was also extended to the
ladies of the church for the delicious
supper, and to Mr.. Soule's Jazz Band
for its renditions.

P|TTSFIELD
Community House for Pittsfie,d

Through the efforts of the local
branch OF the Red Cross. Pittsfield
seems likely to have a Community
mouse as soon as plans can DE worked
out and carried into execution.
\ most enthusiastic meeting Of the
executive board Of the Pit,sfield
branch of the Red Cross was held
IN the rooms in the Manson block,
Thursday evening, to consider the
peace program for the local chapter.
Pittsfield people have been very loyal
and generous in supporting the Red
Cross and they now have in the
treasury the sum OF s1700 to be used
for some purpose.
While in Boston recently Mrs. Will
liam Gray visited the headquarters
Of the northeastern division Of the
American Red Cross and had several
conferences with Mr.. jackson and
the heads Of the home service de-
partment as to whether the local
chapter could establish a Community
house with the money on hand in
honor of our boys who had given
their service. The matter was taken
up with the headquarters in Wash
ington and permission was granted
for the establishment of a Commu-
nifty. house.
At the meeting held Thursday the
matter was discussed and it was
voted to establish a social service
division Of the Home Service depart
ment, with Mrs. Gray chairman, to
have charge of this work. Mrs Gray
was appointed chairman OF a rules
and budget committee; W. L. Pushor

established as subcommittee of
the Welfare Department and in 1913
this was made separate department
independent of the men and took it's
offlclal place as the Womans' De-
partment which is now one of the
twelve stan ing committees of the
Federation with Miss Maude Wet
more as its chairman.
1t comprises, mine sections embrace
ing II states. In 1915 New England
became one Of these sections. The
Womans' Department offers unlimit-
ed opportunities for woInan's work
and influence and promises a wider
understanding, broader tolerance
and closer sympathy between the two
extremes of society-namely capital
and labor.
In most Of the states the confer
ence idea is adhered to but here in
New England we have formed activ-
tiles such as Industrial. Americaniza-
ton. Emergency. Relief, Household
Economics. Lecture. Prison and
Training School for Girls committees
and 1t is our purpose to stimulate
our members wherever they are to
greater endeavor along civic lines
that New England may continue to
be the strength in the federation
which it now has the reputation Of
holding. 1t is by a universal and in
tensive drive for education along
these civic lines that we hope to in

responsibility to the communities IN
