Giro: much lnformtion on Club Organization. 1 ln‘discussing the Work of the 10th District I hme thought it might be in- teresting to _\ou to giie a brief out- line of the first Woman' 3 Club in Illi- nois, the starting of the General Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs. It seems hard to realize there was ever a time in our great state when the education of women was not considered neéesâ€" saryâ€"yet in 1823 the early letters were so appalled at the ignorance SUIYUUIdJlg Ihcm 0I a l‘ suns. ll.r women of Jacksonville took it upon themsehes t0 Iaise funds for new ed‘ ucution ol “indigent females ’.' and a woman's club was started October .€, 1833. its purpose being stated as fol- lows: sha \\ llL‘l. t‘hztrlt-s lllt'lxtflm made hi> .‘Lt'mul Vi)”. in thh Country in “WT. \lr<. .lL-rnit .lunv Vi'ol)’ mid U‘llt‘l Eik'Wflml‘t‘f “qu in \e“ \oilt, it‘- (gush-'2 -n In nun to tit-t dincr giwn .\l:z llicltcns l.y.ncws}mper mt-n. , "Not my," chivalrously replied the men, "w:- wunt no women." "Very well," manually and the women, “WE shull‘ hau- a dinner for Mr. llickins and MR rm mun lmt'himIC-Aml they did.‘ These Women diners formed a club ' which is today the sorosis (‘lub of New York. L'pon its let birthday. March 19. imitations were sent to- all Women's clubs near enough to meet with it and celebrate its birthday, and from this meeting the General Fed-j eration started which in turn inspired the State F'edemtion. The original, moxementwas meant to include all the cluba in the world. hence the name. Generzil Federation. Our own, State federation was orggnized at’ Chicago in 1894. and our first presi-l dent \Irs. Caudee of Cairo, is a familâ€"' in: figure in the past presidents' row“ at the annual meetings. ‘ )l'm-nn I think the most of us little realize what tremendous advantages the dif- ferent departments of the state offer us. The day has gone by when club women meet for a purely social gath- ering. We are interested in the prob- lems of the day, and the old saying that a woman cannot be agood moth- er and a, club woman is too absurd to even bring for it an argument. We cm better serve our husbands. our children and our homes by‘ knowing and understanding the laws and condi- tions which surround us. is to be worthy of the faith the last legislature placed in us. Due to the \oting efforts of our women the Suf- I{rage bill was passed by the last legis- llature at Springfield, giving us all the lprivileges, putting upon all the obli- gations of the ballot in so far is it was possible till I éhange is made in the constitution of the state. It is my duty as well as my privi- lege to try to bring to the clubs of the 10th District the work being done by the State Federation of Women‘s Clubs. to‘ask your coâ€"operation and your help in the work which can only be accomplished through united eflort. Mrs: Prowin, in’ making her report at bpringfield as chairmah of the civ- ics department said the greatest prob- lem before Illinois club women today “The I g Fem been more or less of a politiciari all his ‘ life and takes great'pleasure in; telling this Iowa friends that he has attended Republican meetings where Republic- anism was preached. Democratic meetings where Democracy was the !only thing, Prohibition and Socialiatic gmeetings, each one }he beat and only :party but that it was at a WOMAN'S gmeeting where he first heard good icitizenahip advocated, which reminds ime of a story that a woman. on being !asked what party he“ husband be- ilonged, replied. “I guesa he belongs to ime."-â€"(Story against spfl'rage.) ‘ 3 fine has only to listen to such men‘ as Graham Taylor, Judge_ Pinckney. Judge Plin and my fathers, to re- nIize they put their faith‘to the Illi- ‘ nois club women and they must make good.

[)q you‘women realize that ini Illinois today birth registration is “Oti required? I noticed that one of the (00k (ouaty officials was finally wok-L ed up to this fact saying he really muld not make his records correct. We mmt'wdrk for such a bill, also for full s-ztl'rage.

'l‘ha Falt‘lil (3w. in its: Smith-LeVer bill is to help the ngrlcultural colleges of the states educate boys and girls along these lines. Our club women, cooperating with new public school teachers, should appoint a committee of “agri- cultural extension" whose duty it shall he to take up' this work. Live up to the slogtn adopted by our schools: “Set Illinoiga earningâ€"save all the waste of fruit and vegetable pro- ducts." Learn to use your state de- partments. They are only too glad to send all the infamltion necessary. The Club Bulletin is the official ore: gan of the state. Through its pages '1 we can keep informed of the work he- ‘ in‘g done in art, civics, civil service, : conservation, education. home economâ€" ics and pure food, music, library ex- tension, public health, literature, phil- anthrOphy and legislation movements. In Illinois we have over 50,000 club women~ only a few thousand of these.

' A I quote from a report recently is- sued by Mrs. Warren. president of the] l stem of New Jersey: “The greatest benefit to women from Federationl ‘work «ie‘ the sense of periodical re-l i'sponsibility it gives. Every ofl'ice, noi tmstter how pnimportsnt brings some development to the home-keeping lwoman. Women who do not hold of- fice owe something to their clubs and} ltluat is s spirit of helpfulness.

Women with unal! child ,‘ members wholor ill health or so e other resson can not do s full s 're of detail club work, businese w en who need the mental stimulus of club connection.
