Social and Industrial Conditions"
DIR. II. c. White, of the University of
Georgia, introduced by Mrs. Oscar
Mckenzie OF Montezuma.
Immigration and Americanization,"
Commissioner Frederick A. Wallis, of
New York City, introduced by Mrs.
! Alonzo Richardson of Atlanta. Con
slider the gateway of the nation, where
first impressions have made anarchists
of immigrants by shameful methods
Of handling employed and for which
our nation will have to answer, condi-
tons which have been improved only
by calling on the womcn's organiza-
tions of New York and the Y. M. G..
A." declared the commissioner. "Wo-
men are needed in the halls of CON
grcss", declared Mr.. Wallis, "and the
J woman who refuses to exercise her
every right for good by refusing to
vote is as guilty as the congressman
who manages to sneak out of the hall
when some great issue is at stake"
One of the solutions offered by Mr..
Wallis in solving the immigrant prob
lem. was. inspection on the other
side rather than rejection on this
side" His pictures of the horrors of
Ellis Island we're vivid and realistic
and will not be soon forgotten by
those who heard him.
Woman as a Working Power" was
illustrated by the twelve district pres
idcnts in reporting the work of the
Clubs in their various districts. With
our own district president, Mrs. D. c.
Ketchum of Vienna, leading a close
second, we had to admit that Mrs.
r. A. Heinsohn, of Sylvester, president
of the Second district, literally ran
all the other districts to cover" with
her charm of manner and her brainy
speech in which she declared that
"woman's intuition added immeasur-
ably to her power as worker" Mrs,
Heinsohn is product of Flora Nc
| Donald School, of North Carolina, and
her quaint Scotch brogue carries her
a long way. When she sang for the
convention on later program, we
felt that South Georgia had reason
to be proud of this little lady who
still looks like a bride after hav-
ing been married eight years. (She
said she would gladly give us an eve
ming program of song and story when
our auditorium is built.
