First Leader Recalls Early Days
OF CoIored Women's Group
By Mory Church Terrell


countrys attention has been called
to injustices and atrocities like
lynching, diSfranchisement, the con-
tract labor and the convict leases
systems. the Jim Crow Car Laws
and other evils. in the hope that
law abiding citizens will be in
duced to take steps to remove them.
Creating a wholesome, healthful
public sentiment, so that relations
between ma ior and minor groups
will be more friendly and co-Opera-
tive. is a tenet in which the ma
tional association wholeheartily be-
lieves
But in connection with all the
work attempted by the national as
sociation. emphasis has been laid
upon the value of mothers meet
ings, where women-eSpecially the
underprivileged - may learn from
competent leaders the best methods
Of rearing their children and con-
ducting their homes. The members
of the association who have worked
with their poverty stricken, ill
favored sisters living in the rural
sections of the Deep South have
tried to teach them how to make
their novels and huts more habit
able and decent with the small
means at their command and how
10 care for themselves and their
families more in accordance with
the rules of health.
Indeed the health of the race has
been matter OF deep concern to
the members of the association, who
are alarmed at statistics showing
how much greater the death rate
among their group is than among
other racial groups. There are
many reasons to explain this TACT,
chief OF which are poor housing,
malnutrition, poverty and ignorance
of the rules of health. Although
the aSsocia ton realizes what
prodigious, bathing problem this is
TO tackle, nevertheless, through
mothers meetings. parent-t teacher
meetings and contacts of various
kinds, it is trying to remove some
of the causes and to correct some
of the mistakes which undermine
the health of the race.
July 81, 1923, was really red
letter day in the life of the National
Association of Colored Women. On
that day it opened its headquarters
with a dedicatory address by the
first president. This three story
building and basement at 1114 o
street NV, with three lots, has
been paid for by colored women and
is not a gift. When the incompara-
BILE Frederick Douglass died, his
widow decided to make a mecca of
his home in AnacoStia, where he
had lived for many years. Then the
national association paid off the
mortgage on the estate. built care
takers house and has tried to keep
the home in good repair.

clined 0.2 per cent between April
