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 2)l lamoucLv C9u<j^ciic V. cXaijiieA Co: L -jev\\’lo-,A itfiti r/mpoxL’w: 37 Hagan’s Magnolia Balm, ait t lt,Wis 'r.z.:..-*..-M»tsCT,r»U.

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."
