Mrs. Robert Zahnsr s Report of Biennial Cenvehtioh Made at Macen Wednesday Madame chairman: The general Federation of Clubs con vener! In St. Paul, Minn., on May and adjourned on June 9. These nine days were full of work and strenuous, even for those who could rest between lire seaalona. For the officer*, and «*- redally the president, they must have been very fatiguing. But they were very delightful days and full of en thusiastic Interest. About 1,500 delegates were there, and representatives from clubs from many hart* of the world: there were also the not Iona 1 president of the affiliated -notations, notably that of the Congress, "1 Mothers, the International Sunshine Slrietyr-and the American Out-door Art League, etc. I do not Intend, of course, to repeat the report I gave to the Atlanta Worn- ms' Hub, nor must 1 give ybit any of 1 ne detail work of the great body of "‘omen: the most that 1 can do is to deliver the messages sent you from a lew of the great committees nnd to ful- till Mrs. I locker's desire that the seates be made more familiar with the great alms of the General Federation. Three large buildings were necessary in accommodate the business part of ihe convention. For the exhibits and 'mil headquarters the old capItol was used; for the general meetings, the Armory, seating about 5.000 people; uni for the social conferences the large ■Vatial Presbyterian church. As in the state exhibits I heard sev- " r “l delegates say tha( the Improve- iienis was very marked, not only In ■urangemem, hut In the quality. The I'uK l>m| "object lessons" formed a I'smmld In the center of the court at 1 'upitol, 30 or 40 feet high, and Hits exhibit also occupied several large i" ms. Every article woe fully labeled. Siring, the adulterant, the preservative, tin coloring mutter, etc. The Minnesota “dry Association had placed on ex- mbit large glass cuss* containing tu- benu'.ar beef with every - facility for examining same.

Bui. women ,.|p • it>orsrin farfapoHnn tli!nlf. nf this labor committee was our Mrs. Granger, and she had a most delightful meet ing and a very ottentive audience. Mrs. Granger had printed and dlstrib Uted a leaflet containing these three Items for work In the state: 1. A child labor law, which shall forbid all work between the hours of 7 |E m. and 7 a. m. for children under 16 years of age. 5. A compulsory education law, which shall require all children to at tend school during the full school year of the stale and until they shall 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 this year to pure food and Its sessions were of unusual Interest, coming a* It did at the time when the Hepburn bill, which the senate had passed, was about to die In house: and also when large exhibits of diseased beef nnd 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 from Minnesota wired that these telegrams hod changed the whole as pect of the bill, and that there were "now enough favorable votes In the house lo pass the bill,” and before the convention adjourned Mr. Hepburn telegraphed that the women of the federation had saved the day nnd the bill was passed. 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. No law can compel you to buy food that has nut the manufacturer's name on the label, and club women should take a stand against Impure food, iiatent medicines, etc., and must COMPULSOR Y ED UCA 71 ON INDORSED BY WOMEN Federation of Clubs Assembled in Maeou—Devotes First Day’s Session to Important Subject—Mrs. .Taekson to Resign as President. By SELENE ARMSTRONG. Special lo Tire Georgian. Macon, Ga., Nov. 7.—The event ot Wednesday afternoon's session of the tenth annual convention of the State Federation of Woman’s Clubs was the adoption of resolutions by delegates Indorsing compulsory ed ucation. This comes as the logical se quence to the strenuoue work done by the Georgia club women In effecting the passage of the cbl|d labor bill. It Is understood that the women'* clubs of Georgia will now take up (he sub ject of computaory education and will strive for legislation enacting such a law. The main topic of discussion or the clubs now assembled In Macon la 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 le over. It Is believed that either Mrs, M. A. Lipscomb, of Athens, or Mrs. W. Humphreys, of West Point, the vice presidents, will be elevated to the pres idency. The matter Is causing great specula, tlon among Ihe women at the conven tion. see that the laws regarding them are ' “ r JhavTbeen'ntade rt win n.i, , itnacninnintia teaorawon secretaries nave oeen maue purse, a condition that cannot "always prevail." Doubtless It would take gome time to arrange these yearly dales, but In the end It would bring a closer touch and a larger growth to both the stale and General Federation. Mrs. Decker showed herself a One presiding officer. She has patience, hu mor, tact, a ready word to tide over any occasion. And tlic executive board of the General Federation Is producing some women whose personalities are going to count and whose Influence will be felt. The merit system Is practiced, and no one con be nominated for presi dent, I am Informed, who lius not serv ed on the executive board or who Is not a member of the board. This Is a good rule and lias grown out of the Inex perience of the flrst few years. As the "oigla federation, think of this - *at state of Georgia, with Its many ■iifrs of arts and handcrafts, with " beautiful work done In some of our •uustrisl a in | model schools, haring small table of exhibits!

The committee on forestry asks the Atlantic states to aid In preserving from destruction by the lumbermen the great Apalschlah forests and have this added to our national forest reserves now numbering nearly 90,000,000 acres all under the control of the United States department of agriculture. One of the most Important commit tees Is the watch-dog of the federation, the legislative committee. This mes sage we were asked to deliver: After a bill lias passed and become a low, see to it that you have adequate laws to enforce It. If you have not had the forethought to provide for that fl The General Federation Is fortunate In having a president With a personali ty like .Mrs. Decker. She has stood for unity of action among the state fed erations and the General Federallon, She has tried to make each state feel that It Is a vital pari of the great body of the General Federation. She felt that with concerted action everything planned could be accomplished. Each atute has a diversity of Interests; she has tried to petwuado them to conform to the outline planned by the executive board for the General Federation so far as possible and throw their weight toward the carrying of any matter of legislation. • * * With royipe ra tion she says "We can do anything." This message she has carried to every pari of the country; to this she has given time, means, enthusiasm and tremendous energy for over two years. Anil now she finds that she Is dissipat ing her energy, for when a state In vites her to attend its state meeting she goes. If possible. If she Is attend ing n meeting In Massachusetts she bus to cross the continent to reach Idaho ami Washington for Ihelr meet ings. She thinks It will be a wise plun members of that bourd, Mrs. Granger Is now a member. The next meeting of the General Fed eration will be held In Boston In 1908. Will you not take some Interest In that meeting und read the Federation Bul letin and keep In touch with the great aims of tlijs great head of all our work ? This Is Important for each club, and It la Imiioriam for the General Federa tion. Respectfully submitted. •MRS. ROBERT EARNER. MRS. OTTLEY'S APPOINTMENT. The appointment of Mi's. John K.
