Mrs. Robert Zahnsrs Rspgrt ef Biennial CenvehMon
Made at Macgn Wednesday
Slsiiame *’hullman:
The general Federation of Clubs con
vened In Ht. Paul, Minn., on May 30,
ami adjourned on June 9. These nine
days acre full of work and strenuous,
even for those who could rest between
the sessions. 'For the officer?, and es
pecially the president,' they must have
been very fatiguing. But they were
very delightful days and full of en
thusiastic tntcreak^MMiMH^^^H
About i "(to delegates were there, and
representatives from clubs from many
parts uf the wortd; there were also the
national president Of the affiliated as
sociations. notably that of the Congress
"f Mothers, the International Sunshine
Society, and the American Out-door
Art League, etc.
I do not Intend, of course, to repeat
the report! gave fo the Atlanta Wom
ans' i hub. nor must l gtve you any of
the detail work of the great boay of
""men: the most tlfat 1 can do Is to
deliver the messages sent you from a
tew of the great committees and to ful-
llll Mrs. Decker's desire that the seates
he made more familiar with the great
alms of the General Federation.
Thr ee large .buildings were necessary
hr accommodate tile business part of
the convention. For the exhibits and
«tat< i.o.uhiunrtcrs tho old cnpltol was
tr-cd; for the general meetings, the
Armory, seating tibotit 5.000 people;
and for the social conferences the large
t'riiuar Presbyterian church.
As to the state exhibits 1 heard sev
eral delegates say that the Improve
ments was very marked, not only In
arrangement, but In the quality. The
Food "object lessons" formed a
labor committee was our Mrs. Granger,
and she had a most delightful meet
ing and a very attentive audience.
Mrs. Granger had printed and distrib
uted a leaflet containing these three
Items for work In the state:
I. A Child labor law, which shall
forbid all work between the hours of
7. p. in. and 7 m. m. for children under
18 years of age.
3. A compulsory education law,
which ahall require all children to at
tend school during the full school year
of the atatc and until they ahall have
passed the sixth grade of the grammar
school.
3. A law compelling the registration
of births In each county of the state.
The committee on household econom
ics gave its special attention thla year
to pure food and Its sessions were of
unusual Interest, coming as It did nt the
time when the Hepburn bill, which the
senate had paased, was about to die
In bouae: and nlao when large exltlblta
of diseased beef and adulterated
canned goods were In dally evidence.
In reply to many telegrams to our rep
resentatives at Washington, not only
from the General Federation, but also
from each state, one of the congress
men front Minnesota wired that tltcso
telegrams had changed the whole as-
pect of the bill, and that there were
"now enough favorable votea In the
house to pasa the bill," and befbre the
convention adjourned .Mr. Hepburn
telegraphed that the. women of the
federation had aaved the day anti tho
bill was puased. Since then Georgia
has passed a pure-food bill. In rela
tion to this a message was sent the
states by the chairman: The question
of pure food Is now for the consumer
alone. No law can compel you to buy

Federation of Clubs Assembled in Macon—Devotes First
Day’s Session to Important Subject—Mrs. Jackson
to Resign as President.
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
Special to The Uforglsn.
Macon, Ga.. Nov. 7.—The event
of Wednesday afternoon's session
of the tenth annual convention
of tho Slate Federation of Woman's
Clubs was the adoption of resolutions
by delegates Indorsing compulsory ed
ucation. v This comes as the logical se
quence to the strenuous work done by
the Georgia club women .In effecting
the passage of the child labor bill, ft
Is understood that the’women's clubs
of Georgia will non- take up the sub
ject of compulsory education and will
strive for legislation enacting such a
)atV.
The main topic of discussion of the
clubs now assembled In Macon Is the
rumor which, though not officially con
firmed, Is well founded—that the resig
nation of Mrs. James Jackson, now
president of the state federation, will
be tendered before the convention
over.
It Is believed that either Mrs. 31. A.
Lipscomb, of Athens, or Mrs. W. T,
Humphreys, of West Point, the vice
presidents, will be elevated to tho pres
idency.
The matter Is causing great specula
tion among the women at the conven
tion.

purse, a condition that cannot "always
prevail.” Doubtless It would take some
time to arrange these yearly dates, but
In the end It would bring a closer
touch and a larger growth to both the
state and General Federation.
3lrs. Decker showed herself a fins
presiding officer. She lias patience, hu
mor. tact, a ready word to tide over
any occasion. And the executive board
of the General federation la producing
some women whoee personalities ard
going to count and whose Influence will
be fell. The merit system Is practiced,
and no one can be nominated for presi
dent, I nm Informed, who has not serv
ed on the executive board or who Is not
a member of the board. This is a good
rule and has grown nut of the Inex-
' perlence of the first few years. As the
federation secretaries have been made
members of that board, -.Mrs. Granger
Is now a member.
The next meeting of the General Fed
eration will be held In Boaton hi 1908.
Will you not take some Interest In that
meeting and read the Federation Bul
letin nnd keep In touch with the great
alma of this great head of all our work?
This Is Important for each club, und It
Is important for the General Federa
tion. Respectfully submitted,

Une of the moat Important commit
tees Is the watch-dog of the federation,
