Paul, Minn., on May 30, ami adjourned on June 9. These nine days acre full of work and strenuous, even for those who could rest between the sessions. 'For the officer?, and es pecially the president,' they must have been very fatiguing. But they were very delightful days and full of en thusiastic tntcreak^MMiMH^^^H About i "(to delegates were there, and representatives from clubs from many parts uf the wortd; there were also the national president Of the affiliated as sociations. notably that of the Congress "f Mothers, the International Sunshine Society, and the American Out-door Art League, etc. I do not Intend, of course, to repeat the report! gave fo the Atlanta Wom ans' i hub. nor must l gtve you any of the detail work of the great boay of ""men: the most tlfat 1 can do Is to deliver the messages sent you from a tew of the great committees and to ful- llll Mrs. Decker's desire that the seates he made more familiar with the great alms of the General Federation. Thr ee large .buildings were necessary hr accommodate tile business part of the convention. For the exhibits and «tat< i.o.uhiunrtcrs tho old cnpltol was tr-cd; for the general meetings, the Armory, seating tibotit 5.000 people; and for the social conferences the large t'riiuar Presbyterian church. As to the state exhibits 1 heard sev eral delegates say that the Improve ments was very marked, not only In arrangement, but In the quality. The Food "object lessons" formed a labor committee was our Mrs. Granger, and she had a most delightful meet ing and a very attentive audience. Mrs. Granger had printed and distrib uted a leaflet containing these three Items for work In the state: I. A Child labor law, which shall forbid all work between the hours of 7. p. in. and 7 m. m. for children under 18 years of age. 3. A compulsory education law, which ahall require all children to at tend school during the full school year of the atatc and until they ahall have passed the sixth grade of the grammar school. 3. A law compelling the registration of births In each county of the state. The committee on household econom ics gave its special attention thla year to pure food and Its sessions were of unusual Interest, coming as It did nt the time when the Hepburn bill, which the senate had paased, was about to die In bouae: and nlao when large exltlblta of diseased beef and adulterated canned goods were In dally evidence. In reply to many telegrams to our rep resentatives at Washington, not only from the General Federation, but also from each state, one of the congress men front Minnesota wired that tltcso telegrams had changed the whole as- pect of the bill, and that there were "now enough favorable votea In the house to pasa the bill," and befbre the convention adjourned .Mr. Hepburn telegraphed that the. women of the federation had aaved the day anti tho bill was puased. Since then Georgia has passed a pure-food bill. In rela tion to this a message was sent the states by the chairman: The question of pure food Is now for the consumer alone.

Special to The Uforglsn. Macon, Ga.. Nov. 7.—The event of Wednesday afternoon's session of the tenth annual convention of tho Slate Federation of Woman's Clubs was the adoption of resolutions by delegates Indorsing compulsory ed ucation. v This comes as the logical se quence to the strenuous work done by the Georgia club women .In effecting the passage of the child labor bill, ft Is understood that the’women's clubs of Georgia will non- take up the sub ject of compulsory education and will strive for legislation enacting such a )atV. The main topic of discussion of the clubs now assembled In Macon Is the rumor which, though not officially con firmed, Is well founded—that the resig nation of Mrs. James Jackson, now president of the state federation, will be tendered before the convention over. It Is believed that either Mrs. 31. A. Lipscomb, of Athens, or Mrs. W. T, Humphreys, of West Point, the vice presidents, will be elevated to tho pres idency. The matter Is causing great specula tion among the women at the conven tion. cf Personal Mention P Edmund Van Winkle, Jullle Orme, Francis Peeples, Eugene Black, Harlan and Howard Bucknell, Calvin Pres cott, Thomas Prescott, Wllmer Moore and Harry Steames, Jr. MR.

The merit system Is practiced, and no one can be nominated for presi dent, I nm Informed, who has not serv ed on the executive board or who Is not a member of the board.

Will you not take some Interest In that meeting and read the Federation Bul letin nnd keep In touch with the great alma of this great head of all our work?
