Woman’? Club
District Meeting
FcHowirvg Is The Re
port of the Meeting as
Rendered By One of
the Delegates
Recently the Woman’s Club of
this dis net held the first annual
district meeting at Cordele. Fitz
gerald Woman’s Club was repre
sented by Mrs G. E. Ricker, Mrs.
T. J. Dickey and Miss May YYii
cox.
At this meeting, there were four
addres-es, siinauisuing and practi
cal. VI rs. Nichols Peterson told
of L:ften’s plans for rural schools.
Committees are selected from the
club membership and eacli made
res ponsible for one rural school.
A card is pasted in each lady’s
year book informing her of her
school, its distance away, R. F.
D. route and its needs. Visits are
made and literature provided.
Toward the close of the club year
each-commiitee is called upon to
report and the county teachers are
entertained for the week-end at the
home of the club ladies. Co-ope
rating with the county officials,
their work is systematic and prac
tical.
Miss Woodberrv, of Atlanta,
talked on chances and changes of
School work. This was especially
fitting since a Woman’s Club is
composed principally of mothers
and teachers, ladies with an intense
desire to see th schoolroom made
better and brighter. The speaker
mentioned the fact that instead of
the three Rs. there is a change
toward a liberal education. Early
in Ins mental development Mu
chi Id discards his peculiar taste
and altho unconscious of its mean
ing, he develops his talents, turns
them toward the acquirement of
some special science or art. Then
is a chance to stimulate and quick
en the child-mind while it is clean.
before it is contaminated, and the
mere knowledge of some things is
contamination. There is a chance
to elevate, to refine, to purify, a
chance to make a little mind lean
toward art and beauty and truth
instead of toward carelessness and
ludeness which often characterize
the pupils of our schools.
Mrs. W. W. Banks read a paper
on Conservation and showed that
effort has been made along this
iine. She told how Mrs Long
street, of Gainsviile, Ga., is lead
ing a fight for the preservation ol
Tallulah Falls, believing that the
gold, Commerce offers, will nm
recompense. Omnipotence gave:
Materialism, steeped in greed,
blights the gift and mocks the
Giver. It is thought that Mrs.
Longstreet may lose because
Georgians want the gold. Mrs,
Banks showed the need of preser
vating forests and bird life, and
showed a plan for making a ncst
ing-box to attract the Wren.
The last literary feature of the
meeting was a lecture by Dr. S
A. Jacobs of State Board of Health
on Preventable Diseases: namely,
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, dip -
theria, hook-worm and tubercu
losis. He urged all to tight disease
to hate the house fly and call it the
“typhoid fly;” to guard against
the most l ulto; t0 investigate hook
worm, before the disease brings
danger; to fight tuberculosis, rea
lizing that not the disease, only
the tendency, is hereditary.
Valuing one .man’s life at $1,700,
the Nation loses billi ns yearly.
Valuing one mans life at protection
maintenance and love for his home
the Nation loses far more. Then
if disease is on hand fight it: if it
is preve ntable, prevent it,
Dr. Jacobs prophesied that a
sleeping disease was [approaching
Georgia and Florida because of
malaria and bad air. The people
are losing the * restlessness and
energy that characterize Northern
people. This would be the natural
result, after many generations of
inertia and contamination and
“sleep that knits up the ravell’d
sleave of care” would become a
disease, a rare habit, more to be
dreaded than insomnia. Ihen tight
against it. Lahore est parare.
This convention will next meet
at Cuthbert.
