AND WOMAN'S INTERESTS
TO AGE.
Welcome, old friend! There many
yean
Have we lived door by door:
The Fates have laid aalde their shears
Ferhaps for some few more.
I Was Indocile at an age
When better boys were taught,
Bnt thou at length hast made me sage,
Jf I am sage at aught.
Little I know from other men.
Too little they from me.
Hut thou hast pointed well the pen
That writes these lines to thee.
Thanks for expelling Fear and Hope—
One vile, the other vain;
One's scourge, the other's telescope—
I shall not see again.
Bather what lies before my feet
My notice shnll engage.
Hr who hath brav'd Youth's dlxsy heat
.Dreads not the frost of Age.
—Walter Savage Landor.

The President'* Address.
Thursday evening Mr*. M. A. Lip**
comb, president of tho Georgia Feder
ation, made the annual address, which
tvas enthusiastically received. Mr*.
Lipscomb outlined comprehensively the
scope nnd purpose of tho club work,
emphasising the Importance of federa
tion and organization. In speaking of
the work and ^method* of federated
club*. Mrs, Lipscomb said in part:
"While our men have been looking
after tho tariff, question* of finance,
corporation* and sound government,
our women have been trying to beau
tify tbl* country and to lend a helping,
sympathetic hand to suffering humani
ty, The work of the geneml federation
1* carried on through standing com
mittee*. Home of the most Important
of the*e are: Civic Improvement, civil
Service reform, pure food law*, juvenile
court laws, domestic science, establish
ment of libraries, encouragement of art,
the preservation of our forests, child
labor laws, nnd last, but not least,
education In Its broad and liberal sense,
and, following that, law* for compul
sory education, with Industrial educa
tion a* the leading feature of tho
school*.”
Mrs. Lipscomb spoke at length on
education, n subject which I* claiming
more and more of the club woman's
thought and effort. "A compulsory
education law must of necessity fol
low the child labor law," said Mr*.
Lipscomb. "It took'ten year* of work
to legislate against child labor. Geor
gia can not afford to wait that length
>f time for compulsory education. Ev
ery year of delay mean* n downward
grade In the mental nnd moral life of
the children. No one understand* and
realises these condition* better than
our women.”
In further emphasizing the need of
child labor law In Georgia, Mrs.
Lipscomb declared:
"It Is a* criminal for a *tnte to al
low her children to be nmltm d by Ig
norance as by overwork in tender
year*. Out of the four cities In the
whole United Htntex where the highest
per cent of children of native white
stock are being allowed to grow
totally Illiterate, two are Georgia cities.
Judged by the Illiteracy of her cities,
Georgia stands next to the lowest state
In the Union; that out of all the ehll
dren In Georgia from ten to fourteen,
one out of every five Is unable to read
or write." *
Mrs. Lipscomb’* reference to Indus
trial education was particularly Inter
esting. In this connection she referred
to the magnificent public school system
of Columbus, nnd also quoted the plea
made by Governor Smith In his annual
address for manual training In the
Hies and towns of the state. #
In regard to prohibition. Mrs. Lips
comb said:
"Last November In Macon I spoke
to you of the evil of intoxicating liq
uor* and |x>l8onous drugs and their
destructive effect* on our labor system.
I declared to you that sobriety was the
remedy for crime and wa* the great
promoter of Industry, thrift and peace.
Tonight, In the presence of this body
of Christian women. I wish to say that
I never was prouder of Georgia than I
was In her right for prohibition, and
that tho happiest day of my life was
the day of victory. That victory, I
believe, came as an answer to the
prayers of Christian men and women.
There are Arakims In our pathways,
giants of Indolence, ignorance, crime,
prejudice and fear, but If our faith fall
not, the fenced cities will be laid low
and one by one the enemies to knowl
edge. truth, virtue and right living will
be driven out of our land.”
Professor 'Woofter Talk*.
Mr*. Lipscomb** address, delivered
at the Thursday evening session, wa*
followed by a violin solo by Miss Kath.
arlne Tift, who wa* encored again and
again.
Professor T. J. Woofter. of Athens,
was introduced by Commissioner W.
II. Merritt and spoke on "Some Needed
Educational Reforms in School Legis
lation.” Professor Woofter referred
especially to the educational need* of
Georgia:
1. The great w ork being done by club
women In behalf of education.
2. The Importance of making equ
ation a profession.
