President Talks to Far
mers at Lansing,
Mich.
WIFE ON FARM
NOT A DRUDGE
‘Parents Are First of Sov
ereign and Most Divine
of Priests.”
Lansing, Mich.. May 31.—Commenc
Ing almost with daylight, regular and
special trains disgorged crowds of peo
ple from all sections *of the state who
come primarily to ljelp celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
the Michigan Agricultural College, the
first of Its kind In the world, but prln
clpally to see and hear President Roose
velt.
Every store and every residence Is
decorated with Hags and bunting and
everywhere can be seen members of
the state militia who escorted the pres,
tdent through cheering throngs to the
state capltnl.
The president reached here on a spe.
clat Lake Shore train at exactly 10
o'clock amid the booming of cannon
and was immediately driven to the cap-
itol building, where a reception was
held In .the governor’s parlors.
After this he addressed the members
of the house and senate and gave a 10-
minute speech to a crowd estimated at
15,000 from th« balcony over the main
entrance.
After beginning his speech President
Roosevelt reviewed the benefits afford
ed the agriculturists of the United
States by the big department of agri
culture; th* apparent results through
the country and the future of agri
cultural pursuits. He spoke of the farm
labor question and the problems facing
the farmera of today.
President Roosevelt said:
Lack of Farm Labor.
’’All over the country there Is a con
stant complaint of paucity of farm la
bor.
"I would like to 'point out that you
can never get the right kind, the best
kind, of labor if you offer employment
only for a few months, for no man
worth anything will permanently ac
cept a system which leaves him In Idle
ness for half the year.
The Farmer's Wif*.
S- -And most Important of all, I want to
■ay a special word on behalf of the
one who Is too often th* very hardest
worked laborer on the farm—the farm
er’s wife. Reform, like charity, while
It ahould not end at home, should cer
tainly begin there.
••I emphatically believe that for th#
great majority of women .the really•in
dispensable Industry in which they
should engage Is ths industry of th*
home.
Should Not be Drudge.
"But this does not mesn thst she
ts plenty that Is hard and rough and
disagreeable In the necessary work of
actual life, and under the best circum
stances, and no matter how tender'and
considerate the husband, the wife will
have at least her full share of work
and worry and anxiety; but If the man
Is worth his salt he will try to take as
much as possible of the burden oft the
shoulders of his helpmate.
Children Best Crop.
“The best crop Is the crop of chil
dren; the best products of the farm
are the men and women raised there
on; and the most Instructive and prac
tical treatises on farming, necessary
though they be, are no mors necessary
than the books which teach u* our duty
to our neighbor, and above all to the
neighbor who I* of our own house
hold.
“Mrs. Wlggs of Cabbage Patch.”
“You will learn the root principles
of self-help and helpfulness toward
others from 'Mrs. Wlggs of the Cab
bage Patch;’ Just as much as from any
formal treatise on charity.
No Sympathy With Hysterics.
“Do not misunderstand me. I have
not the slightest sympathy with those
hysterical and foolish creature* who
wish women to attain to easy lives by
shirking their duties. I have os hearty
a contempt for the woman who shirks
her duty of bearing and rearing- the
cftlldren, of doing her full housewife's
work, as I have for the man who Is
an Idler, who shirks his duty of earn
ing a living for himself and for his
household, or who ts selfish or brutal
toward his wife and children.
“I believe In the happiness that
comes from the performance of duty,
not from the avoidance of duty. But
I believe also In trying, each of us, as
strength III given us, to bear one an
other's burdens; and this especially In
our own homes.
No Place Like Home.
'Nothing outside of home can take
the place of 'home. The school Is an
Invaluable adjunct to the home, but It
i wretched substitute for It. The
family relation I* the most fundamen
tal, the most Important of all rela
tions.
No leader In church or state, In
science or art or Industry, however
great his achievement, does work which
compares In Importance with that of
the father and the mother, 'who are
the first of sovereigns and the most
divine of priests.'"

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
IS APPOINTED
Chairman Davison Tells the
Story of the Great Work
and Its Needs.
That Atlanta will have a splendid
and permanent home for Its aged. In
firm and dependent women Is now
practically assured through the organ
isation of a number of Atlanta's most
solid and public-spirited business men.
a meeting held In the Aragon
Hotel Thursday evening permanent or
ganisation was perfected, and the en
tire scope of the plan outlined In de
tail. The gentlemen gathered on this
noble work were the guests at lunch
eon of Proprietor J. Lee Barnes.
Beaumont Davison was elected pres
ident; H. M. Patterson, vice president;
Joseph A. McCord, treasurer, and W.
O. Foote, secretary. These officers,
with the following, form the board of
trustees: William M. Nixon, W. T.

D. Manly, Walter P. Andrews, Dr. J.
W. Hurt, Evelyn Harris, Louis Regen-

T. J. Kelly and John Brice.
Since It* Inception the “Old Wom
en's Home" has been operated under
the direction of the King’s Daughters,
who have performed a great work
through heroic sacrifice and devotion.
In the present home there are fifteen
Inmate*.
Thslr Great Need.
As an Indication of the great need
for commodious quarters, where all
the eomforis may be had, statistics
have been secured to show that there
are now In Atlanta over 200 aged la
dles who need such a home and would
occupy It if there was the necessary ac
commodations.
The business organisation that now
takes charge of the affairs of the
home has In sight about 110,000 for
a permanent and commodious home.
Every effort of the organisation will be
bent now toward raising 125,000 to
120,000 for such a home. Every public-
spirited cltlsen of Atlanta should lend
aid to the movement.
Mr. Davison’s 8peech.
At the meeting Thursday evening
Mr. Beaumont Davison thus outlined a
history of the home, and told of Its
needs:
“Some four or five years ago a small
company of charitably Inclined women
banded themselves together In this city
for the purpose of doing such little
acts of charity to old and Indigent
women as waa In their power. They
got up little entertainments to raise
funds, and they begged money, sup
plies, clothing, eatables and all such
from their friends and from door to
door to relieve the suffering they found sponslblllty.
\
among poor and aged women. They
kept this up with more or less success
until June, 1904. It was at this time
that the McKinley fund was being
raised throughout Georgia, with the
late Mr. William A. Hemphill at Its
head. As most of us remember, when
Mr. Hemphill died the raising of this
fund was dropped, then tt was that
these same consecrated women formed
themselves Into the “Gordon Circle of
King's Daughters," with Mr*. Sarah
J. Purtell as lta president. One of the
first things they did was to pledge
themselves to th* work of maintain
ing a home for respectable and Indi
gent old women. They accordingly took
the subscription list to the McKinley
fund, wrote to every subscriber, ask
ing for the amount they had subscrib
ed, and from this fund they received
something like 2500.
"This was the beginning of the nu
cleus from which the present Home for
Old Women sprang and which Is being
carried on today by'these devoted phil
anthropist*. Mt first they worked with
out a charter and naturally being with
out any legal papers they met many
obstacles and frequently they reached
the place where the work was so te
dious. so thankless, so little appreciat
ed. that they all but gave It qp, never
theless when failure more thnn once
seemed Imminent, they worked with
more harmony and with greater vim,
and so continued the noble charity. It
Is being carried on and maintained to
day by these same good women of our
city. In June, 1904, this little company
of women found out that Mr. Jasper
Smith (or Jack Smith, of House-that-
Jack-bullt fame), was giving rent free
to three decrepit old women, not a
home, but a house In which they could
sleep. It was out on Neal street, this
city. Some of the Gordon Circle visit-
ed them there, found out their needs,
reported It to the balance of the circle
at thslr next meeting, and without a dis
senting vote the circle agreed that by
their united efforts they would support
and provide for these three old worn-
From Smsll Beginning,
“They did so and did It nobly; they
worked hard, furnishing such nscessl
tie* as would keep body and soul to
gether and such few luxuries a* some
of our charitably Inclined cltlpens saw
fit to give them. Mind you, they
begged for all they received, supported
by their earnest prayoft and their own
personal gifts. This little place on Neal
street was the first Old Women's Home
In our city. It waa only an humble
■hack, but It opened the way for great
er things; It spurred the Gordon Cir
cle on to greater efforts; It kept those
good ladles banded together In a com
mon cause for good, and tonight, you,
gentlemen, are asked to help further
this grand movement by your assist
ance and co-operation.
"After supporting these three
women for some months, It was deemed
wise by the circle to move up town and
to better quarters. Mrs. Purtell se
cured the house at the corner of Cain
and Peachtree, the Identical place
where the Masonic Temple Is now be
ing erected. In less than three weeks
twelve old women were being cared for
when thla building had to come down
for the erection of the Masonic Temple;
the home had to be moved. A house
was then secured on Mitchell street. It
Is the present Home of the Old Women
and la owned by 51r. A. K. Hawkes.
At present fifteen women are being
taken rare of. The house Is entirely
too ■mall, even for the fifteen, and al
most dally some poor, friendless, hut
respectable, old woman comes knocking
at the door for admission. On the Sth
of January. 1904. a charter for the car
rying on of the home was granted. This
was given by Fulton superior court, for
the term of twenty year*. The appli
cants were seventeen women and twen
ty-three men of our city, Mr. J. I* Key
being the attorney. As soon as the
charter was secured the city council
voted the home an advance allowance
of ISO per month. This lasted for one
yesr and on the first of January of this
year we were given 215 a month, which
sum we are still receiving. The county
gives 24 per month for each Inmate,
adding 210 per month to the Income.
Ovsr 200 Dependent Women.
"The Home only admits women who
have at least three Indorsers as to
their good moral character and
our city for at least one whole year
and they must be at least 60 years of
age. It has been told me by members
of the Gordon Circle, that there are In
Atlanta alone at least two hundred de
serving women who are eligible and
who would be glad to enter the Home If
suitable quarters could be given them.
This meeting tonight la to provide ways
and means of establishing this home
for old women, putting It on a business
basis, electing different committees
necessary to the successful launching
of this worthy charity.
“At Its Inception the Gordon Circle
saw th* necessity of owning a larger
and better equipped home, and be It
■aid to their everlasting credit, they
then and there established a building
fund which Mr. McCord, who follow*
me, will fully explain. All the monies
given by both the city and county have
religiously been turned Into this build
ing fund, also all money donations and
subscriptions. Not a dollar has ever
been touched. It 1* now Intact and Is
tho nucleus from which the now home
must spring.
Adequate Home Needed.
'The fifteen old women that the Cir
cle are supporting are being fed, cloth
ed and cared for entirely by the char
ity of our people. It Is now with this
body to say whether or not tho work
■hall he continued and enlarged. If It
I* to be continued a home must be
ourchassd where adequate accommo
dations must be p'ovlded for the over
increasing demann upon the home, and
while on this subject, let me say that
the only present existing committee
consisting of Messrs. McCord, Kelly,
Patterson, Mamfield and myself (which
Is only a temporary one) have looked
at several homes and building sites,
notably the Nelson home. This mag
nificent property, facing 400 feet on the
Boulevard, with a grand and very large
brick residence In the middle of the
lot which extends back some 200 feet,
ran be purchased for 225,000. We al
ready have several large donations
promised provided we raise enough
funds to purchase this property for the
home.
"Now, gentlemen, I think I have out
lined the scope, the Intention and the
hopes for the future of the home, and 1
leave It with you In your hands. The
formation of the committees or any
plans for running the home I have not
mentioned, deeming It beet to leave
that to a matter of discussion. 55 e will
therefore, after hearing Mr. McCord
on the finances, be glad to hear from
any and all of you on what Is best for
the permanent establishment of the At-
