his topic "The New IuteruatioualI.m
and in The light Of present times. il
is Of no little interest to note that the
WOmen Of New jersey made a united
effort mOre than ten years ago toward
universal peace. The resolution read.
Recognizing the existence of a strong
public sentiment in behalf Of universal
peace; believing that the effect to sub
stitute judicial procedure for conflict
is the most important reform move
ment Of the age. and rejoicing in the
progress already made toward the
pacific settlement of disputes among
nations, we, the members Of the New
Jersey State Federation Of Women's
Clubs, do pledge ourselves to give o
heartiest support to the Peace Move
ment, and through a committee Of sew
en-, to be chosen from this body by the
president, to bring about the formation
of an organization to be known as the
New Jersey Peace Society, to report
to the Executive Board Of the Fedora
ton.
Household Experiment Station
Worthy Of more than a short notice
is the epoch-making Household Ex-
pertinent Station, which Mrs. Frank
A. Pattison, as president, established
at her home in ColOnia to demonstrate
that some theories may be made prac-
teal. This station was not only the
Mecca for thousands of club women
all over New Jersey and neighboring
States, but it was written up in ma
gazine after magazine devoted to
household interests. 1t has also re-
suited in the president who started it
becoming a full-fedged lecturer on
Conservation in the Home.
Endowment Fund
In May, 1911, a report was
given to the delegates to carry home
to their clubs, that was of the Depart
ment of Prosperity. This in brief was
a plan whereby the Federation could
have a working fund which would
make it possible to obtain the services
of the best women in the clubs and
the best speakers the country over.
Heretofore the officers had been labor
ing with little money, and a work Of
the kind the Federation was ~endeavor-
ing to accomplish moves faster and
more smoothly if not hampered by the
financial question all the time.
"To say that the Federation must,
for all time, choose as the leaders
women who possess wealth, and viii
ling to use it for this work, is to limit
the outlook" Hence a circular letter
was sent IN the clubs and prominent
workers in the Federation, the result
being $1,150.23 for the first years
work.
