Tiftbn. Ca., Nov. 8.—One of many
great movements promoted by Georgia
club wom-n In various cities Is that
of civic improvement. To the discus
sion of und reports on this subject, the
Thursday afternoon session of the
Georgia Federation was devoted. The
reports.were a revelation to club wom
en themselves and showed that In many
Georgia tojvns there Is a.well-organized
effort which Is accomplishing wonders
along the tin© of civic betterment. Mrs.
Ottloy wan requested by Mr*. Lipscomb,
president of the Ktate Federation, to
preside nt the Thursday afternoon ses
sion and she Introduced first Mrs. Frank
Woodruff, of Atlanta. Mrs. Woodruff
rend the beautiful and comprehensive
account of "Civic Beauty Work In the
(Rubs of America." written by Mrs.
Ram D. Jones, of Atlanta, who had ex
ported to ho present.
Following Mrs. Jones' paper. Airs.
Henry R. Crawford, of Columbus, told
Interestingly what that city Is accom
plishing along the linos of civic grow th.
The Civic League of Columbus was or
ganized In 1906 by Mrs. Nellie Rich
ardson. of Lincoln, Nebr, who came to
Columbus upon Invitation of Mrs. J.
D. Pou and Mrs. J. P. 8. Netlgh. The
league was organized with finance,
publicity, street and alley, vacant lot,
city ordinance and other committees,
and the result of Its work Is seen today
In a clean nnd beautiful city. In the
absence of Mrs. Oscar Peeples, nt Par-
tersvllie, Airs. A. O. Granger told of the
splendid work of the Curtersvllle club
women along this line. To the Chero
kee Club, Cartorsvllle owes the Im
provement of Its handsome park, Its
town-cleaning clay, and the beautifully,
kept flower beds of Us public schools,
for which the club offers two $3 prizes,
This club, which has an enthusiastic
membership of ninety women, Is un
dertaking also county Improvement
work. Its club house will extend nn
Invitation to the city and county teach
ers to meet with the cluh members for
a discussion of the educational work
oelng done In Bartow county, and every
school In the county will he visited at
..tune time during the year by Carters-
vftile club women.
An Interesting feature of the after
noon was the reading of club reports,
which showed what Is being nccotn
pushed by the women’s clubs of Fair
burn. Dalton, West Point, CartersvIHe,
Elberton and Columbus.
Mrs. Kugene Heard, of Middleton,
supplemented the report of Mrs. Bar
tow, of Elberton, with a little talk on
certain features of the work of the
Georgia Boroali of Elberton, and Mrs,
Nellie Peters Black told of some of the
work accomplished by the Woman’s
Club of Calhoun.
Model School Exhibit.
The two model school exhibits shown
In the auditorium of the public school
building. In which the sessions of the
Federation of Women’s Clubs ore held,
are of unusunt merit and have Attracted
much attention. These exhibits are
sent by the Donlelsvllle and Cass Sta
tion schools. Of the first of these
schools Mrs. Kugene Heard, of Middle,
ton, who has done so much to promote
the model school movement In Georgia,
Is director, nnd Air*. C. B. Ayres prin
cipal. The Danlelsvlllc model school
was the first In Georgia to introduce In
dustrial education, nnd tho Georgia
Federation is especially proud of this
fact, inasmuch ns the school has been
supported by the Federation. The ex
hibit of the Cass Station School was
collected by Mrs. M. L. Johnson.
Both exhibits Include beautiful sped
mens of basketry, wood carving, car
pentry, burnt wood, sewing, embroidery
and other work. Indeed they epitomize
the possibilities of handcrafts and show
work which combines in the highest de
gree both beauty and utility.
The President's Address.
Thursday evening Mrs, M. A. Lips
comb, president of the Georgia Feder
ation. made the annual address, which
was enthusiastically received. Airs
Lipscomb outlined comprehensively the
scope and purpose of the club work,
emphasizing the importance of federa
tion and organization. In speaking of
the work nnd method* of federated
clubs, Mrs. Lipscomb said In part;
"While our men have been looking
after the tariff, questions of finance,
corporations and sound government,
our women have been trying to beau
tify this country and to lend n helping,
sympathetic hand to suffering humani
ty. The work of the general federation
Is carried on through standing com
mittees. Rome of the most Important
of these are: Civic Improvement, civil
service reform, pure food laws. Juvenile
court laws, domestic sclepce, establish
ment of libraries, encouragement of art,
the preservation of our forests, child
labor laws, nnd last, but not least,
education In Its broad ami liberal sense,
and, following that, laws for compul
sory education, with Industrial educa
tion ns the leading feature of the
schools.”
Mrs. Lipscomb spoke nt length on
education, a subject which Is claiming
more and more of the club woman’s
thought nnd effort. "A compulsory
education law must of necessity fol
low the child labor law,” said Mm
Lipscomb. "It took ton years of work
to legislate against child labor. Geor
gia can not afford to wait that length
of time for compulsory education. Ev
ery year of delay means a downward
grade In the mental nnd moral life of
tho children. No one understands nnd
realizes these conditions better than
our women.”
In further emphasizing the need of
a child labor law In Georgia, Mrs.
Lipscomb declared:
"It Is as criminal for a state to nl
low her children to be maimed by ig
norance ns by overwork in tender
years. Out of the four cities In the
whole United States where the highest
per cent of children of native white
stock are being allowed to grow up
totally Illiterate, two are Georgia cities.
Judged by the Illiteracy of her cities,
Georgia stands next to the lowest state
In the Union: that out of all the chil
dren In Georgia from ten to fourteen,
one out of every five Is unable to read
or write."
Airs. Lipscomb's reference to Indus
trial education was particularly Inter
esting. In this connection she referred
to the magnificent public school system

made by Oowrnor Hinlth In his annual
address for manual training in the
cities and towns of the state.
In regard to prohibition, Mrs. Lips
comb said:
"Last November In Macon I spoke
to you of the evil of intoxicating liq
uors and poisonous drugs and their
destructive effects on our labor system.
I declared to you that sobriety was the
remedy for crime and was the great
promoter of Industry, thrift ami i>earo.
Tonight. In the presence of this body
of Christian women, I wish to say that
I never wus prouder of Georgia than 1
was In her fight for prohibition, and
that the happiest day of my life was
the day of victory. That victory,
believe, came ns an answer to the
prayers of Christian men and women.
There are Anaklms In our pathways,
giants of Indolence. Ignorance, crime,
prejudice and feur, but If our faith fail
not, the fenced cities will be laid low
and one by one the enemies to knowl
edge. truth, virtue nnd right living will
be driven out of our land."
Professor Wooftor Talks.
Mrs. Lipscomb's address, delivered
at the Thursday evening session, was
followed by a violin solo by Miss Kath
arine Tift, who was encored again and
again.
Professor T. J. Woofter, of Athens,
as Introduced by Commissioner W.
B. Merritt and spoke on "Rome Needed
Educational Reforms la School Legis
lation." Professor Woofter referred
especially to the educational needs of
Georgia:
