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.
