STATE federation
OF W0MEN's CLUBS
MRS. HOMER L. SETTLE, PRESS
CHAIRMAN, TELLS WHAT
CLUBS ARE DOING.

Boise.-(SpeciaD At this time
when club presidents and year book
committees are preparing the books
for the coming year, it seems well to
study carefully the outline Of work
of the Gneral Federation and reorgan-
ize, whatever necessary, our depart
ments to conform with those of the
General Federation.
When our General Federation
president, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter,
was in the state on her speaking tour,
she urged every club which did not
have department of American Citi-
zenship to add such a department
for future work.
It is true that the majority Of clubs
in the state are not departmental,
but the work can be uniform never
theless, by using the following out
line as guide and carefully instruct
ling the chairman of each committee
in the differet phases of work which
her division covers.
May /, as state press chairman,
urge the addition of department of
press in every club? Train the COM
mittee to be on the alert for any
good or helpful thing which has been
accomplished either directly or in
directly by your club and send the
report to me that I may give it the
publicity which is needful in club
work to encourage other clubs in SIM
liar efforts.
The work of the General Fedora
ton is in six departments each hav-
ing several divisions and each divis-
ion having committees to cover the

In planning work for the coming =
ear, system which is proving par
cularly successful in other states,
