Federation
Head Clues
Lecture

Keokuk, Iowa, Oct. 15.-A large and
appreciative audience greeted Mrs, FL
dora H. Gresham, president Of the Col
ored Women 8 Federated Clubs Of Iowa
at the Bethel A. NJ. E. church last
night. The lecture was und er the aus
pices of the Phyllis Wheatley Rescue
and Charity club. Mrs. "A. w. Draine
acted as mistress of ceremonies, per-
forming well in that canacitv. Miss
Ruth johnson and Mrs. Marjorie Hobart
Toombs furnished both the vocal and
ir"+-"menta' solos for the evening s
program, and as usual were we'll re-
cCl. Gu. s5- s.
After the singing Of America by the
audience the invocation was delivered
by the Rev. J. H. Garrison. The lee
ture By Mrs. Gresham, 'tAre We Max
ing the Best Of Our Opportunities in
Trying to Reach the Top' held the audi
ence anxiously waiting to see what new
thought she would bring next.
To say that the lecture was appre-
ciated and we'll received is putting it
mildly. The great worth and work Of
the colored woman was dealt with in
religious and politically, the history Of
the race for the last fifty years was
carefully reviewed. Her slogan for the
race and especially for the colored wo-
men was tsAn equal show for all with
special privilege to none.'
Their sponsor days are over and they
must launch out and show themselves
mistresses of the situation in every
sense of the word, Mrs. Gresham de-
| clared. There were many reasons why
the colored woman should vote and she
showed why the rcolored woman should
:, be one hundred per cent in that.
The climax came in her tribute to
the Negro dead on the battlefelds of
France. ~.a2,
Following the lecture, the Rev. J. H.
Garrison made several announcements.
| The Rev. ]. Sterling Moore was invited
| to take the offering, and he praised the
lecture and the work of the society, and
especially Of the president, Mrs. v.
Olive Phillips. The offering by far was
greater than any one expected. Re-
freshments were served in the dining
room following the lecture.

The matter of becoming a member of

the colored women give their close at

of parliamentary usage and the cur
rent political questions, both local and
national, in order to fit themselves for
the, exercise of the franchise,': and
that we further show our appreciation
of our new civic right by contributing
to the Republican Campaign Fund,
Be it resolved that we as club wo-
men pledge ourselves in our different
communities to see that our people are
informed of the compulsory educational
law, and do all in our. power to see that
this law is enforced.
Be it resolved that we put our club

Table, quarterly review Of the Brit

much to ask that in this crisis Of human
destiny America shall forget to think
of herself and think rather Of those
infinitely wider interests to vindicate
which she has sent 100000 Americans
to Europe, and in doing SO has saved
freedom for mankind7" ~-.
"The answer to this dramatic ques-
tion is in the League of Nations and
the arrangement for mandatories which
the United States is morally bound to
take as America g share in human bet
terment and in world peace.
"When this responsibility is placed
definitely upon us, the most important
contribution we can make both to the
League of Nations and to the manda-
tories especially committed to us is to
| see that the educational system of the
countries concerned are adopted to the
needs of the people. Hitherto peace
conferences and international negotia.
tions have been concerned with govern.
ment machinery for tax collecting, poll.
cling, and boundaries, to the exclusion
Of educational provisions that prepare
the people to use the opportunities pro.
vided for them. - ~
The report finds, that, while remark

been carried out in Negro education, on
the whole the colored schools in the

done. .
