Club Work Discussed
The folloninK sketch Is n pnrt of the
article written by Charlotte Perkina
Gilman, and appearing In the Woman’s
Some Companion for July. It t> un
der the head of "Has the Club Woman
Supplanted the Church Woman?"
Within the memory of living men
there were no women's clubs; but there
■rare churches everywhere, and their
constituency was largely of women.
Today wo have thousands upon
thousands of women’s clubs, each year
Increasing their number, their mem
bership, and the Held of their activi
ties. Some fear, therefore, that the
Church win lose her main support, and
be left neglected.
It Is a pitiful thing, this protesting
snd complaining of the Church, that
such and such people will no longer
maintain It We hear first one outcry
and then another, "Why do not young
men come to church?” "Why do not
working people come to church?” And
now even the women are suspected of
disaffection. The Church must prove
Its place as a leader of life If It wants
followers. We are not half as much
Interested as we used to be In what
may happen to our i>ersonal souls, ami
not'a hundredth part as much In points
of doctrine; but we are more interested
than we ever were before In learning
and doing our whole duty nn earth.
"Lines of work" of our federated
clubs form a program of culture, pro
gress and reform.
As briefly enumerated In the list of
the General Federation, they are these;

eous nnd Irreconcilable that It an
nounccs "Every* member chooses ow
subject"
This tremendous array of topics Is
what our women’s clubs study. This
wide, varied and useful work Is whn!
they strive to do.
Their service to the community Is
great and growing, and the uplift to
character, the broader outlook, the In
crease In courage and power of the
woman herself—these are beyond
measurement. Those w ho criticise and
decry our women In these bands of
progressive workers have at best a nar
row vision. They compare the neces
sarily limited achievements of these
amateurs with the highest professional
efforts, and then ridicule the women for
their shortcomings.
- Whereas, if our highly specialized
Tirofesslonals really did all that needed
to be done In theso lines there would
be no need of the amateurs' attempt
to assist. The work of the women
should be measured not by the speclal-
Ists ahead of them, but the years of
Incapacity behind them.
The women are coming forward to
do the things that need doing In the
world, and learning liowr by persever
ing effort. In genuine American fash
ion.
Here la a body of women numbering
hundreda of thousands, usually women
of middle age (of one club lp Massa
chusetts It Is said every me:
between fifty-two and elghty-ti
of age), all reaching out to serve hu
manity. Even where the pt
the club Is self-improvement,
larged and enlightened mind Is of ser
vice to all It touches. How can It be
said of work like this that It ‘'sup
plants" church work; or that the devo
tion of the woman to her club sup
plants her devotion to the church?
It Is true that certain of the clubs In
our wide list study the Bible, and
others ethics, nnd others practical re
ligion, but If their churches had been
meeting every want In these lines we
would not have started clubs for them.
These beginnings, often feeble, and
sometimes laughable, are but the Aral
steps In a long ascent; In an awaken
ing of women that bodes well for the
world. Quite apart from this long roll
of honor, this rlch,and growing record
of good work done, and. more contlnu
ally undertaken. Is the effect of the
now associations and Interests on the
character of the club woman. Here Is
where the piping voices of the past
complain In utter Ignorance of the
facts. Venerable men, with their boy
hood's prsjudlces all untouchod by the
enlightening years, bitterly assail this
vast and constantly Increasing gather
ing together of women, attributing
to It an Influence most Injurious. What
they have In mind when they speak of
women's clubs Is a little hard to ste.
Certainly not the groups of earnest,
studious or philanthropic women, hard-
worked housewives for the most part,
who form the main body of our Amer
ican women's clubs.
The movements by which the wo
man's soul has slowly broadened out-

ward are still so recently made that
one can follow them with ease. Sym
pathy with the oppressed and afflicted
comes naturally from one so long op
pressed and afflicted; and the religious
sisterhoods show always woman's In
cllnation to charity and service.
These ore philanthropy, education
and social service. To do good,
grow wiser, to Join in civic progreas—
theso are their principal purposes. As
the home-bred, home-bound, home-
ming woman comes Into this new
atmosphere for the first time the effect
upon her moral nature is such as ought
to please anyone anxious for human
progress.
A new conscience Is developed In
club work, a new set of virtues, ond
these qualities are precisely those need
ed to live most usefully In the world.
The woman at home has a husband
to rule over her, or. as sometimes hap-
uvbi nci| ui. us ■uiiiciiuira
pen,, for her to rule; she haa children
and servants to manage; but *he ha*
no equal*, no fellow laborer* In the
eame field. When she doee mingle with
her kind In vlelt* or entertainments,
•he la giver or receiver—hoatea* or
guest—but not on an equal bails.
In the club, for the first time In her
life, she finds herself simply a human
being among others, united for some
common purpose, and measured only
by personal quality. She Is not daugh
ter, sister, sweetheart, wife, mother,
aunt or grandmother. Bhe la Mary
Jones, and Is liked or disliked for qual
ities hitherto uncalled for, qualities
greatly needed to mako the world what
all noble religions would have It—a
place of health and happy peace and
noble growth. W* need all forces
working together to this end. And
while the Church la one force and the
home another, this new force, the wo
man'* club. Is a large and steadily In
creasing help In the world’s work. *
The home should give mother a little
more leeway—a wider range of stimu
lus and exercise, sure that* she will
bring back new light and power to
make home better, and the Church
should recognise In the woman's club,
not a rival, but a strong young assist
ant In that field where the harvest Is
always ripening and the laborers too
few.

To the Kdltor of The Georgian:
The American club woman to the
number of 1,000, representing, it Is
said, COO,000 of her. In convention
semblod at St. Paul has been amusing
herself nhd Incidentally other people
with an elaborate game of “bluff.” She
has been "pretending,” as the children
aay, that there Is not such a thing as
woman suffrage. At any rate, no nice
person would think of mentioning tho
word.
Yet, although the word occurred on
> program, and the subject was
studiously Ignored by presiding ofTlcors
and directors, the question of the vote
underlay all discussions and was Indeed
openly brought forward by many
speakers, while any allusion was in
variably cheered to the echo by audi
ences of club members. f
The only lively discussions there
were skirted round the forbidden
theme. Nay, whenover In lobby or
lunch room or during the few hours
when tho ladles turned from “frivoll
ing” seriously to “frivolling” frivolous
ly, and a knot or two or three were
collected together one was sure to
overheat, "Wo don’t want it,” or ”W©
need It badly,” In a decided tone of
voice, or from a feebler sister, ’Tot
afraid It’s coming nil the same,” while
the Wyoming ladles, secure In their
thirty years of enfranchisement, smil
ed a satisfied smile and seemod to tnko
more nervous of the sisterhood by
flaunting their own political privileges
before their very eyes nnd ears.
Wes tho subject pure food or
child labor, oven during a session on
legislative methods, some speaker was
sure to And her way round to the con
clusion that little permanent good re
sults would bo accomplished by the
federated clubwomen till women had
the ballot. When speaker after speak
er recited tho stupendous labor that
goes to the achievement of every tiny
advance, even the Wat new traveling
library# of the letters, tho petitions, the
persuading of men to do Indirectly
what women ought to do for them
selves directly, one gasped over such

Calhouns Woman Club
The Calhoun Woman's Club, since
Its organization In 1902 by Mrs. W. L.
Hines, the present president, has had a
steady, healthy growth In Interest, on
thuslasm, membership and results.
The ladles have built an artistic
log-cabin club house. It Is half sur
rounded by a wide veranda upheld by
rustic cedar posts, and contains two
large rooms separated by folding doors.
Thero are small panod window*#, and
old-fashioned stone •chimneys with
great wide, open fireplaces . A well-
stocked book-cose, a piano and eaay
chalra are among the many Attractive
furnishings.
A matron Is In constant attendance,
nnd the house, open to tho publlo
every week day, forms a resting place
for tired out-of-town shoppers.
The ground* around are beautiful
with shade trees, a velvety turf, a rus
tic bridge and plants.
The club motto Is: “Non nobis sollts,”
and the ladles strive to moke It some
thing more than a mere platitude. They
respond to the financial demands mudo
upon them by the genornl federation
and state workers. They allow the
local chapter of the Daughters of tho
Confederacy free use of their rooms
for- meetlngx, mid InM yeni f li#-\ t<mk
charge of the exhibits In the woman’s
department of ths county fair with
great success, and have agreed to do
the twenty year mark as yet. She
portrays human life In a most de
lightful manner, and Is a wonderfully
bright, attractive woman.
A collection of Mrs. Roach's shorter
stories, with a certain continuity of
purpoeo running thsough them, will be
brought out by Harper's this fall, or
soon after. In book form; and their np-
pearance In England hag already been
arranged for. Hhe and her mother have
recently gone abroad; the first rot urn
letter having boon received here last
week, mailed from the Azores. As these
lines are being written tftiy nre prob
ably lit Rome, from which place they
will go to Florence, Venice, the Ital
ian lakes, Switzerland and Holland.
Almost every nno knows the story of
Alice Hegnn Rice. Bhe has naturally
a modest, shrinking nature, nnd has Mrs. Annie Fellow# Joh
often begged to be excused from an Mary F. Leonard aro
Interview for the press, plendlng that
tho long-suffering publlo should be
spared. Bhe now lives In an attractive
home, which she recently purchased
vary near to her own dear cpbhnge
patch, which has made her famous,
living a happy, contented and very nor
th© earn* this year. They are enthu
siastic supporters of every measure for
tho betterment of existing conditions.
I •ming the qounty teachers’ Insti

Parrish, of the State Normal School,
the club tendered a delightful recep
