Dear Mr.. Brkich:
In times when the passions and personalities of the

overlook cultural values we-every loyal American of

Certainly the work of our educational centers must
not fater Universities continue be the centers
of truth and the guardians of culture For this reason
now ever, is the time for foreign-bom and foreign
ancestored Americans to make certain that uni
verstes persist in teaching the Croatan customs and
Croaan traditions Croatan language and Croatian his

YESTERDAY
j. . q . .,
AND TODAY
9Th Convention - 1904


The 9Th Convention of the
erstwhile National Croatian
Society, today the gigantic
Croatian Fraternal Union,
was held September 26 to
October 4, 1904, at Saint
Louis, Missouri. Used for
the sessions were the An
chor Hall and Bohemian So
kol Hall.
Among the first reports
made as the Convention got
under way was one covering
the standing Of the Society,".
Total membership, 1875
regular, 7,406 associate; to-
tai assets, $57, 7,694.47. The
Delegates were also advised
that the Society had paid
out $3O4,293.80 to benefici-
aries since it's organization
in 1894.
In his message to the Con-
vention, Supreme President
Petar Pavlinac pointed out
that the NCS had outgrown
it's officers and that without
help they were unable to
maintain careful check at
the Home Office on the
membership at large.
1t was reported that the
Society had finally been
granted permission to oper-
ate in the State of Illinois,
much credit for which was
given Supreme Treasurer
Jankovic.
M any Delegates voiced
protests against Organizers,
this in spite of the fact that
none had actually been COM
missioned by the Home Of
flee. Many new members
were joining the Society at
this time, but the hard times
of those days forced numer-
GUS members to drop out
and return to Europe.
Financial Secretary Ma,
rohnic stated that it was
time for a general reorgani-
zation of the Society. He
warned that the NCS could
not continue for long at it's
pace at the turn of the CEN
tury and suggested that a
Reserve Fund be set up for
any emergencies.
The committee on bylaws
made it's report to the Con-
vention. Among the changes
noted was a section provid-
ing for the election of a Con-
vention Chairman and two
Assistant Chairmen.
The Supreme Presidents
salary was set at $500 per
annum, with a per diem of
$4.OO and travelling expen-
ses when on business of the
Society. Other salaries set
were $500 for the Recording
Secretary, who was to be
located permanently at the
Home Office; $1,000 for the
Financial Secretary; and
$500 for the Supreme Trea-
surer. The Delegates also
voted to authorize a S4.OO
per diem only for the Su-
preme Vice President, and
$50 per annum to the Secre-
tary of the High Trial
Board.
A new fund was estab-
lished by the Convention to
build a Home for the Aged
and Disabled. The members
were to contribute rs cents
annually to this fund, and
until such time as the Home
was erected the fund was to
be used for payment of sick
benefits. It was further
agreed that Lodges pay
sick benefits for nine
months, after which the
Home Office resumed pay
ments of same.
Motion passed instructing
the NCS to publish it's own

South Carolina
Nav Allow Women
To Serve On Jury

South Carolina, which doesn't
believe in rushing things. is now
getting around to considering a
law to permit women to serve on
jurieS.
We have tried it in North Car
olina for some years now, and the
heavens haven't fallen. Indeed,
our guess is that by and large in
North Carolina the average wom-
an Juror is better than the aver
age man jurOr-probably just as
intelligent (here we speak con-
servatively). better educated
more careful and more conscien-
tious. We suspect that in this
state women jurors are more care
fully selected for intelligence and
moral qualities than are men jur-
orS.
One more reason why we favor
women on juries is that in this
way they will get to see the court
houses. There are more than few
courthouseS in small towns and in
the country which are not fit for
women TO go in-they are too
dirty and Slovenly. If enough Wo-
men see them, they will eventual
ly clean them up.-Greensboro
