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.
