Club Work Discussed

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
b# left neglected. .
It Is a pitiful thing, this protesting
,n«l complaining of the Church, that
well and such people will no longer
maintain 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 as much
Interested as we used to be in what
mav happen to our personal souls, and
not a hundredth part as much In points
of doctrine; but we are more interested
than we ever were before In learning
and doing dur whole duty on earth.
"Lines of work" of our federated
clubs form a program of culture, pro
gress and reform.

This tremendous array of topics Is
what our woman'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, tho In
crease In courage and power of the
woman herself—these are beyond
measurement. Those who criticise and
decry our women In these bands of
progressive workers have at 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 dons In these llnea there would
bo no need of the amateurs' attempt
to assist. The work of the women
should he measured not by the special
ists ahead of/them, but the years of
Incapacity behind them.
The women are coming forward to
do the things that need doing In the
world, nnd 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 elghty-two years
of age), all reaching out to serve hu
manity. Even where the purpose of
the club Is self-lmprovsment, that en
larged and enlightened mind Is of ser
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 the woman to her club sup
plants her devotion to the church?
It Is true that certain of the clubs In
our wide list study the Bible, and
others ethics, and others practical re
ligion, but If their churches had been
meeting every want in these lines we
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
wprld. Quite apart from this long roll
of honor, this rich and growing record
of good work done, and mors 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 of the
facts. Venerable men, with their boy-
hood'a prejudices all untouched by the
enlightening years, bitterly assail this
vast 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, hard-
worked housewives for the most part,
who form the main body of our Amer
ican women's clubs.

ward are still so recently made that
one can follow them with ease. Sym
pathy with the oppressed and afflicted
comes naturally from one so Ion* op
pressed and afflicted; and the religious
sisterhoods show always woman’s in
olinatlon to charity and service.
These are philanthropy, education
and soolal 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 time ttfe effect
upon her moral nature Is such as ought
to please anyone anxious for human
progress.
new conscience Is developed in
club work, a new set of virtues, and
these qualities are precisely those need
ed to live mofct usefully In the world.
The woman at home has a husband
to rule over her, or, as sometimes hap-
iw a uio IICI, un as ■uiueuiuus nap-
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 hersalf simply a human
being among others, united for some
common purpose, and measured only
by personal quality. She Is not daugh
ter, sister, sweetheert, wife, mother,
aunt or grandmother. She is Mary
Jones, and Is liked or disliked for qual
ities hitherto uncalled for, qualities
greatly needed to make the world what
all noble religions would have It—a
place of health and happy peace and
noble growth. We need all forces
working together to this end. And
while the Church is one force and tho
home another, this new force, the wo
man's club, Is a large and steadily in
creasing help in the world's work.
The home should give mother a little
more leeway—a wider range of stimu
lus and exerelse, sure that she will
bring back new light and power to
moke homo better, npd the Church
should recognize In the woman's club,
not a rival, but a strong young assist
ant In that field where the harvest Is
always ripening and the laborers too
few.

To tha Editor of The Georgian:
Tho Amerlcnn club woman to tha
number of 1,000, representing, it la
said, 500,000 of her, in convention
acmbled at St. Paul has bean amusing
herself and Incidentally other people
with an elaborate game of "bluff." She
has been "pretending," as the children
aay, 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
no program, ahd the subject was
studiously Ignored by presiding officers
and directors, the question of the vote
underlay all discussions and was Indeed
openly brought forward by many
speakers, while any allusion was In
variably cheered to the echo by audl
ences of club members.
Tho only lively discussions there
were skirted rouqd 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 sureH
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 all the same," while
the Wyoming ladles, socuro In their
thirty years of enfranchisement, smil
ed a satisfied smile and seemed to take
a particular delight In shocking the
more nervous of the sisterhood by
flaunting their own political privileges
before their very eyes and ears.
Wea the subject pure food or
child .labor, oven during a session on
legislative methods, some speaker was
sure to find her way round to the con
clusion thnt little permanent good re
sults would be 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

Calhsun’s Woman Club
The Calhoun Woman's Club, since
Its organisation In 1101 by Mrs. W. L.
Hines, the present president, has had a
steady, healthy growth In Interest, en
thuslaam, membership snd •results.
The ladles have built an artistic
log-cabin club houae. It le half sur
rounded by n wide vernnda upheld by
rustle cedar post*, and contain! two
large room* separated by folding doors.
There are stpall pnned windows, and
old-fashioned stone chimneys with
great wide, open fireplaces . A well
atocked book-case, a piano and easy
•'hairs ere among the many attractive
furnishings.
A matron Is In constant nttsndance,
and the houae, open to the public
every week day, forms a resting place
for tired out-of-town shoppers.
The grounds around are beautiful
with shade treee, a velvety turf, a rus
tic bridge and plants.
The club motto Is; "Non nobis sollls,"
nnd the ladles strive to make It some
thing mare than u mere platitude. They
respond t" t h" Una ip Ini 1 • made
upon them by the general federation
nnd slate workers. They allow the
locnl chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy free use of their rooms
'or meetings, and last year they took
bergs of the exhibits In the woman's
apartment of the county fair with
great success, and have agreed to do

A visiting secretary, one of the new.
