leadership in shaping the social,
educational and civic structure of the
Nation must be taken by women, in
the opinion. of Mrs John F. Sippel.
president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, who declares in
announcing the plans of work for the
next two years in her organization
that. while the burden of adjustment
of American industry and commerce
to meet modern needs rests primarily
on the shoulders of the men, the
women, as mothers, should take leader
ship in these other things if they are
to assume their responsibility in pass
ing on to the children of America a
heritage of situations met and prob
lens solved according to the lights
of their time
THE organization of the work of the
General Federation closely follows these
sectors of civilized society, which I have
named as the women's responsibility,
said Mrs. Sippel in announcing the gen.
eral plan of the federation program for
the coming biennial. "Our fine arts de-
partment, our department of education,
our department of the American home

family; they recognize him as a social
being with a place in the community
life: they value him as citizen Of the
community and the Nation, and they
view him as a part of world civili7a-
ton.
The community. through which we
as individuals and as parts of the FAM
lily find expression in group life: the
community, the sum total of which
makes our national life, is the keynote
of this administration. From the out
set the civic, social. cultural education
and physical factors of community life
