SPLENDID WORK BEING
DONE BY CLUBS HERE.
Americus is much gratified over
the achievements accomplished by
concerted movement of women’s
clubs and organizations throughout
the state, of which Americus has five,
the Woman’s club, the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, the
•sic Study club and the Arts and
rfts club, all of which are doing
excellent work.
The Woman’s club, of which Mrs.
George Van Riper is president and
Mrs. Charles M. Council, past presi
dent, has achieved much good in civ
ic affairs. The club has recently un
dertaken the removal of unsightly
garbage cans and boxes from the
residence district, taking the matter
before the city council in the light of
sanitation. The Woman’s club was
prominent in inspiring interest in a
municipal playground for the chil
dren of the city, the result of which
is the present green on which the
youngstsers can frolic and play to
their heart’s content. Ralston Car
gill, himself a great lover of children,
enlisted as an advocate of a better
playground, and set about to aid a
swimming pool to the equipment for
the benefit of the public.
Under the direction of the Child
Welfare Movement, the Woman’s
club is doing a further good. With
Mrs. B. C. Keister, assisted by Mrs.
Carl W. Minor and other capable wo
men, this work is progressing splen
didly. A substantial amount was con
tributed at Christmas through this
movement by the sale of seals. The
women also affiliated with the oth
er workers of the clubs to inaugurate
a soup kitchen for the pupils at the
Furlow Grammar school.
With Mrs. James W. Karris, Jr.,
president of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, the traditions so
loved by all the South are being kept
ever green, and each month meetings
are held at the Community Club
house or at the homes of the mem
bers to promote good fellowship
among the members, the chapter and
of other clubs. Through the work
ing of this organization Memorial
Day programs are given each anni
versary, in which the heroes of the
’6os mingle with the. warriors of the
World War, the occasions bringing
the old and the young patriots .’in
close fellowship.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution, under the direction this
year of the regent, Mrs. Clarence
Q, Niles, is doing fine work among
city and rural schools in the pro
pagation of health crusades with
the aid of the teachers, who realize
that a healthy body makes a healthy
mind. All of the county schools have
been visited several times since the
beginning of the school term in the
fall by the entire chapter, with the
result that a close co-operation has
been affected between club and
schools. Programs have been given
by the schools and many splendid
ideas have been brought home to the
lub workers by the enthusiasm of
the students. Beautifying of the
school grounds has been one of the
.deals of the Daughters, in which the
faculty and student body have hearti
ly joined. Shrubs and plants have
been contributed by the members,
the students often laying their own
campus plans and completing the
work.
The Music Study club, under the
direction of Mrs. W. H. C. Dudley,
has accomplished much during the
past two years, with a number of
splendid artists being brought to the
community in the interest of better
music. In coalition with other clubs,
a victrola has been purchased for
the high school, which has aided Miss
Tolk, director of music, in her work
of teaching musical apfpreciaticfn.
Through the medium of the instru
ment instant recognition of the works
of the masters has been developed in
the student, and a number of splen
did programs given. The members
have attended the district music club
conventions, gaining new ideas and
inspiration for the carrying on of
their work. Through Miss Polk, who
represented Americus clubs at the na
tional convention of music clubs in
Nashville, Tenn., recently, Americus
had the pleasure of hearing the
music lectures of Miss Margaret
Streeter, who voices better musical
education in the schools and commu
nities.
The Arts and Crafts club, the most
recent addition to women’s organiza
tions here, has already added its
quota of advancement to the work
done by the clubs, and with Miss
Miss Martha Wheatley, art director
schools, as president, splendid
wßilts are being accomplished. It is
the portion of this club to study
beautification of the home, schools,
clubs, and other environs, and twice
each month the members gather at
the Community Club house to study
the history of fine furniture, art of
basketry, making of bead work, pot
tery, picture and china painting and
sewing. Recently this club gave a
stereoptican slide machine display of
reproductions of fine paintings at the
high school.
The Woman’s Literary club, of
which Mrs. C. M. Williams is presi
dent, with a large membership, is
leading its aid to advancement by
study of national, state, county and
city government. In previous years
art, music and literature were rotat
ed in the programs, but at the sum
mer meeting, called for the purpose
of formulating a plan of study, the
club decided that inasmuch as wo
men had been granted enfranchise-
ment it was their duty to become
acquainted with the various forms of
government in which they would be
called on to participate, and weekly
study has been made of many poli
tical subjects.

Birmingham, announce the engage

A number of club women from sur
rounding towns had accepted the
club invitation to meet Miss Streeter,
but the inclemmency of the weather
prevented their coming. Those who
met her were delighted with her
charmming personality, many of
them expressing commendation of
the splendid message she brings to
all schools in the advancement of
musical education along higher musi
cal lines.
