was a daring adventure in democracy;
during the year an established proof
of democratic efficiency.

Tie eotK ’tions this year that
have trncd a 'ood of extra
g:od paying business into othe
concer s has been so hard - n
country pppers that they have
“gone under” by thousands.
The two main causes for the
large number of failures were
that they voTinta fly d : d an un
reasonable amount of f?ee work
and did not advaac-j prices suf
ficiently to cove increase... cos;
of material. Also the amount
of paper was reduced oy govern
ment, thus cutting cff much fa
advertising, the postal rates
greatly in-’reased, the pay up in
advance order ’ey the govern
ment has caused about fifty er
cent of the subscribers to pet
“profitably offended” and not
pay what they already owed.
So, looking back upon the Val
ley o' the Shadow of 1918, The
Bulletin is .hankful o be alive.
This is not a couplant, but
will explain to the subscribers
why there : s such a differenoe
in the autumn issues of 1' 17 and
1918.
Best wishes to all readers, and
a busy, peacefu next-year for
both of us.

Wesley Memo? al
Special Offering Day
Sunday, the 22nd inst., has been <
set aside as the day for an offering -
by the Methodists of Georgia for the <
charity wok of Wesley Memorial <
Ho.pitnl. I
On that dry offerings will be made
in the Methodist churches to the fund 1
that is used in paying part of the <
cost incurred in taking care of pa
tients who are treated at this hospital I i
aud who are unable to pay for the |
services rendered. The cost of such i I
work done each year is far in excess -1
of the amount contributed by the ■
churches of the state for this purpose. '
As the hospit. 1i; the property of <
the Georgia Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, those
most interested in his success are de- !
birous that the members of that de
nomination throughout the state will,
on the date indicated, show their in
tere ,t in the sick aud suffering poor
by contributing to the' fund which
will enable the hospital to minister to
them.
ChiMren’s Scholarships
Children’s scholarships, as a part
of a national “back to school” drive
is an interesting part of the Womans
Committee, Council of National De
fense, as a vital reconstruction ac
tivity. At a Child Welfare exhibit
iu Illinois this summer a large picture
of General Pershing at the age of
six was on view bearing the legend,
“Was it worih while to save this
baby?” The example was a striking
one and applies to every child as a
potential factor in the advancement
of the world.

SUFFRAGISTS
IN WAR WORK
By MRS. JAMES LEES LAIDLAW,
Vice Chairman New York State Wo
man Suffrage Party.
The New York State Woman Suf
frage party, since it finished its great
’.ask of carrying New York state for
w oman suffrage,
November 6, 1917,
lias devoted itself
exclusively to wor
work and varlors
forms of civic and
patriotic service.
We have recently
sent the first wo
man's hospital unit
abroad from the
United States.
This unit is the
"War Baby” of the
National Woman
Suffrage Associa
tion, with which
we are affiliated.
a’
.
: *
i uy t
ft - - - J
Mrs. J. L. Laidlaw.
We have just held a great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where a large sum was raised for
this remarkable unit, which has sailed
to do such valuable work in France.
Every person in it, even to the plumb
ers and mechanics, are women, and j
they volunteered for dangerous service, i
Other branches of our war service
have been an intensive food conserva
tion campaign and the War-Savings ।
Stamps campaign. In all this active |
patriotic work we feel inspired with 1
the thought-of our own chairman,
Mrs. Norman dell. Whitehouse, abroad
on an important government mission
and many others of the rank and file
of our women who are engaged iu de
voted service “over there.”
Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch of our I
wosk is the great university extension
of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa
tional Committee.
Another line of work is that of our
Intelligence Committee, which lists of
ficials of ell political parties and all
men in every township and county in
the state who have run or are to run
for office. It Is believed this commit
tee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and its Intelligence
will react on the civic welfare of the
state most tellingly.
Our Americanization Committee has i
issued some very effective and eduea- !
lional literature and is organizing in
every center and community where ‘
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that a great part of a na
tion's war time efficleicy is in keeping
life normal and efficient at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps’ most nearly steady and normal
In its industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for it.
The work of the Rural Problems
Committee perhaps is of particular in
terest In this publication vthieb is be
ing sent out by the National Security
League. Very few people In the coun
try have stopped to realize how In our
body politic the rural committees are
discriminated against iu the matter of
socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements, their munici
pal halls and baths, their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lec
ture courses and innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some of these advantages should be
: brought to the country districts.
Any rural woman who wants to be
put in touch with our legislative bul
i letin, with our correspondence courses
। in civic education or any Information
■ in reference to the work of the Wo
man Suffrage party should write to
i that organization at 303 Fifth avenue,
?'ew York city.
