My Dear State Chairman OF Civics
Allow me to urge that you get your
letters to your state clubs out in time
to induce all clubs to recognize the
importance of good allotment to civic
subjects in their next years progra ms.
Letters must reach them before March
LIST. in order TO be sure to effect the
making of next years programs.
Be sure to urge also that civic work
does not end with discussion There
should be the undertaking of some
piece of needed civic improvement
work by each club in each community
each year. 1t is up to you to inspire
these clubs to concrete civic effort.
The work for the city sanitary and
the city beautiful is ever with us. The
necessity for community cooperation
in social life is growing greater every
day. The community center, the open
forum. the public market are big things
that many clubs have found it possible
to promote Cooperation with state
officials in fire protection is an avenue
of civic usefulness for club women.

election All women's clubs could well
accent civic study as never before. The
early fall meetings could present infor-
nation as to national elections and ma
tional problems, the midwinter meet
ings could canvas the needs of the
state and its institutions, this being
the year when most of the state leg
islatures are in session. The spring
meetings could prepare the women for
the local elections, both as to problems
and manner of voting.
Most sincerely yours,
BESSIE LEACH PRIDDY.
