Of stimulating the interest of these
young people. They have responded
with so much enthusiasm that next
year we hope to expand the work.
Among other things we are planning
similar trips through the renovated
alleys of Washington and to Oc-
coquan.
For the students living in Wash

introduction to the civic problems of
their home town. Those who live in
other places. We hope, will continue
their civic interests when they go
home. College students and the girls

In addition to field trips 20 students
from Arlington Hall, Holton Arms,
American University and Wilson
Teachers College attended the leagues
luncheon for Mrs. Roosevelt last Feb
ruary. DR.. J. W. Mcconnell of Ameri-
can University co-operated by inviting
speakers on civic subjects to address
his sociology classes and by arranging
the field trips.
The District of Columbia Voteless
League of Women Voters is one OF
the few branches of the national
league that has undertaken this type
of extension education, and the sue
cess OF the project has aroused gen.
eral interest. Letters asking for the
particulars of the work have been
| received from leagues in other cities.
Mrs. McCaskill, who is a graduate
Of Columbia University, is especially
| fitted to understand the interests and
viewpoints of the students. She has
been assisted during the past year by
a committee composed of Mrs. Robert
Leonard. Mrs. Hugh Butler and Mrs.
Wood Gray. Next years committee
has not been organized.
The ground has been broken"
Mrs. McCaskill said. Next year We
expect to accomplish still more In

Interest of the federation in ma

dorsed.
This was followed in 1921 by the sp-
pearance at the House Judiciary Com

the Senate District Committee, Mrs.
Mary Wright johnson represented the

Grace Hays Riley represented the
federation on the petition.
Three years ago, a determined effort
to have the question brought before
the General Federation of Wonen's
Clubs was made by the legislative
chairman, Mrs. Horace j. Phelps. In.
formation was furnished at the coun-
ell meetings held in Miami, Fla, and
Tulsa, Okla. calling attention TO the
| plight Of the District and asking that
the matter be recommended for study
on the part of the State federations
and clubs of the General Federation.
1t was not until 1885, at the trien-
NAL convention in Detroit. that the
resolution was accepted for inclusion
in the study program Of the General
Federation, and study materials were

Mrs. j. v. Atwood.

definitely committed to the support Of
the proposal and plans to continue
such support with renewed vigor. until
the active support of the General Fed
Grafton and member clubs throughout
the country is obtained" Mrs. Nor
rison said, recently adding that she
intends to encourage the continued
study and promote the consideration
OF the question and will urge that
