Club Work Discussed
Th# following »ketoh Is a part of the
article written by Charlotte Perkins
Gilman, and appearing In the Womnn's
Home Companion for July. It Is un
der the head of "Has the Club Woman
Supplanted the Church Woman?"
Within the memory of living men
there were no women’s clubs; but there
were churches everywhere, and their
constituency was largely of women.
Today we have thousands upon
thousands of women's clubs, each year
Increasing their number, their mem
bership, and the Held of their activi
ties. Some fear, therefore, that the
Church will lose her main support, and
be left neglected.
It Is a pitiful thing, this protesting
and complaining of the Church, that
such ami such people will no longer
malntafn It. We hear first one outcry
and then another, "Why do not young
men come to church?" "Why do not
working people come to church?" And
now even the women are suspected of
disaffection. The Church must prove
Its place as a leader of life If It wants
followers. We are not half ns much
Interested ns we used to be In what
may happen to our personal souls, and
not a hundredth part ns much In points
than we ever were before In learning
and doing our whole duty on earth.

clubs form a program of culture, pro

nounces “Every member chooses own
subject."
This tremendous array of topics Is
what our women's clubs study. This
wide, varied and useful work Is what
they strive to do.
Their service to the community Is
great and growing, and the uplift to
character, the broader outlook, the in
crease In courage and power of 'the
woman herself—these are beyond
measurement. Those who criticise ami
decry our women In these bands of
progressive workers have nt best a nar
row vision. They compare the neces
sarlly limited achievements of these
amateurs with the highest professional
efforts, and then ridicule the women for
their shortcomings.
whereas, if our highly specialised
professionals really did all that needed
to be done In these lines there would
be no need of the nmateurs' attempt
to assist. The work of the women
should be measured not by the special
of doctrine; but we are more Interested lsts ahead of them, but tho years of
" ‘ *- * ' “ Incapacity behind them.
The women are coming forward to
do the things that need doing In the
world, and learning how by persever
ing efTort, In genuine American fash
Ion.
Here is a body of women numbering
hundreds of thousands, usually women
of middle age (of one club In Massa
chusetts It Is said every member Is
between fifty-two and elfhty-two yeara
of age), all reaching out to eerve hu
manity. Even where the purpose of
the club to eeKktatprovement, that en
larged and enlightened mind Is of see
vice to all It touches. How can It be
said of work like this that It "sup
plants" church work; or that the devo
tion of tha woman to Iter club sup
plants her devotion to the church?
It Is true that certain of the clubs In
our wide Hat study the Bible, and
others ethics, and others practical re
ligion, but If their churches had been
meeting every want In these lines wa
would not have started clubs for them.
These beginnings, often feeble, and
sometimes laughable, are but the first
steps In a long ascent; In an awaken
ing of women that bodes well for the
world. Quite apart from this long roll
of honor, this rich and growing record
of good work done, and more continu
ally undertaken. Is the effect of the
new associations and Interests on the
character of the club woman. Here Is
where the piping voices of the past
complain In utter Ignorance ot the
facts. Venerable men, with their boy
hood's prejudices all untouched by tho
enlightening years, bitterly nssnll this
vaBt and constantly Increasing gather
ing together of women, attributing
to It an Influence most Injurious. What
they have In mind when they speak of
women’s clubs Is a little hard to see.
Certainly not the groups of earnest,
studious or philanthropic women, linrd-
worked hous'ewlvcs for tho most part,
who form tho main body of our Amer
ican women's clubs.

ward nre still so recently made that
one can follow them with ease. Sym
pathy with the oppressed and nffltcted
cothes naturally from one
pressed and afflicted; and the religious
sisterhoods show always woman's in
cllnatlon to charity and service.
These are philanthropy, education
and social service. To do good, to
grow wiser, to Join In-civic progress—
these are their principal purposes. As
the home-bred, home-bound, home
serving woman comes Into this new
atmosphere for the first tlms the effect
upon her moral nature Is such as ought
to please anyone anxious for human
progress.
A new conscience Is developed In
club- work, a new set of virtues, and
these qualities are precisely those need
ed to live most usefully In the world.
The woman at home has a husband
to rule over her,'or, as sometimes hap
pens, for her to rule; she has children
and servants to manage; but she has
no equals, no fellow laborers In the
same field. When she does mingle with
her kind In visits or entertainments,
she Is giver or receiver—hostess or
guest—but not on an equal basis.
In the club, for the first time In her
life, she finds herself simply a human
being among others, united for some
common purpose, and measured only
by personal quality. She Is not daugh
ter, sister, sweetheart, wife, mother,
nunt or grandmother. -She is Mary

while the Church I* one force nnd the

To the Editor of The Georgian:
The American club woman to the
number of 1,000, representing, ft Is
said, 000,000 of her. In convention as
sembled at St. Paul has been amusing
herself and Incidentally other people
with on clnborate game of "bluff." She
has been "pretending," as the children
say, that there Is not such a thing as
woman suffrage. At any rate, no nice
person would think of mentioning the
word.
Yet, although the word occurred on
> program, nnd Jhe subject was
studiously Ignored by presiding officers
and director* the question of the vote
underlay all discussions and was Indeed
openly brought forward by many
speakers, while any allusion was In
variably cheercil to the echo by audi
ences of club members.
The only lively discussions there
were skirted round the forbidden
theme. Nay, whenever In lobby or
lunch room or during the few hours
when the ladles turned from "frivoll
ing” seriously to ''frivolling" frivolous
ly, and a knot or two or three were
collected together one was sure to
overheat, "We don't want It,” or "We
need It badly," In a decided tone of
voice, or from a feebler sister, "I'm
afraid It's coming nil the seme,” while
the Wyoming ladles, secure In their
thirty years of enfranchisement, smil
ed a satisfied smile and seemed to tnko
more nervous of the sisterhood by
lloanting their own jIM.,, I privilege ‘
before tnelr very- eyes and eara.
Wes the subject pure food or
child labor, even during a session on
legislative methods, some speaker was
sure to find her way round to the con
clusion that little permanent good re
sults would ha accomplished by the
federated clubwomen till women had
the ballot. When speaker after speak
er recited the stupendous labor that
goes to the achievement of every tiny
advance, even the last new traveling
library, of tho letters, tho petitions, the
persuading of men to do Indirectly
what women ought to do for them
selves directly, one gasped over such
wests of energy.

The club motto Is: “Non nobis soltls,"

A rlflltlmr secretary, one of the n#wr

young woman could command a splen

time to properly adjust and k*»p

lady, and then visit her other em

could relieve many women from tha
