sainted woman whose life hud been
given up to ihe snullnratlng of Irk
some conditions, to work tor others
ami who lihil yet always found time
In the midst of sn unusually busy life
for her church work, which meant s"
much to her mid others and whieh,
us Mr Whitney beautifully expressed
It, was the reason, the cunaa whieh
msde her accomplish so much in other
directions, -the late Mrs. II C. White,
of Attiem-. whose tragic passing away
occurred last spring in Augusta while
an audience of Augusta women was
awaiting her presence ut the Y. W. C.
A., where she whs to ittlk on (Vde
rated club*, and whose vital Interest
was so strong amt warm in this work
that It made It comparatively easy
for her successor to follow In the path
she hud blazed. At the conclusion of
Mr. Whitney's address Miss Marie
Moyer sweotly and sympathetically j
rendered "1 Heard the Voice of Jesus."
Mr* Lindsey Arrington being pre- j
Vented from attending on account of
Illness Mrs Emmett Arnold was In

Then- were delightful little address
es by Mrs. W. N. Benton, Miss Annie

talks that, while brief and Informal,
showed that much thought had been
eipemUd on them snd every word ut

larly happy In her talk on "Educa

niondous scope.
Mrg. Fitzpatrick gave a splendid ad

feet that club women should he as
Intereeted In the saving of young men
as of young women, and quoted thu
marvelous fact that ts so often re
pentad In sociological circles of the
descendants of Jonathan Edwards and
MaX Jukes The former was horn In
1703 and over a thousand of his de
ecendat :s* records have been exam
ined. Out of them there have been
thirteen presidents, (0 clergymen, 60
doctors, numberless prominent Judges,
educators, members of congress, proa
Idem* of railroads and banks, elo.
Over thirty-five states have been
helped by the Influence of his de
scendants and good untold has been
accomplished by them. Max Jukes
lived In the same period as Jonathan
dwards and was a criminal. Of a
thousand of his descendants over threg
hundred have died In almshouses,
three hundred have died want. there
hive been seven murderers, one hun
dred snd thirty convicted of crime,
and, altogether, his descendants have
cost the country over one million do!,
lars. Who that hears these two won
derful record* can ask "Is it worth
while to save one boy?"
Mi*. Fitzpatrick spoke of the puh
tic question* tha; the woman's clubs
havs Interested themselves In. They
have tisssed resolution* urging uni
versal pence and expressing their con
fidence In President Wilson's Mexi

Augusta. Havannnh and Maeon are
the only cities In Georgia where do
mestic science Is taught in the public
schools. Each club has Its local needs
blit all should work for sn Industrial
school at Tallulah Kail A for girls that
Is kept by the state federation and for
the "students' aid foundation." Any
poor girl who desires to fit herself
for teaching can procure the money
for this purpose from tills fund, and
does not have to return the money
until she has a position and can re
buy It by small monthly Installments.
These are the two objects that tile
state federation keeps up. One of the
moat Interesting facts mentioned by
Mrs. Fitzpatrick yesterday was the
fact that Georgia ts the only state
In the union that has a "sorority
branch." and this has only been ac
complished In the past few months
and already there are over one thou
sand young college women In Georgia
who have Joined Ihe women's club
under Ihe leadership of Miss Bessie
Kemptiui, of Atlanta, who Is the stale
chairman of sorority work.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick closed her deeply
Interesting address by urging that the
women also Interest themselves In the,
questions of sweat shops and child la
ls>r and that they lake their part "In
all tho world's problem* for the good
of luune and the glory of God."
Mrs. Brenner then Introduced Dr.
Thomas Coleman, who represents the
American Medical Society here and
who had been requested to talk to
the convention on the question of pub
lic health. Ur. Coleman prefaced his
address by saj lag that u certain man
laid said he always knew us soon us
he entered a town where there was a
woman's club, and that he could al
most sav that, as soon as he entered
a home he could know if it was the
home of a club woman.
Dr. Coleman gave a most Important
and Interesting talk on the subject of
"Preventable Discuses," such as small
pox. tuberculosis, malaria. typhoid
fever, yellow fever, diphtheria, etc. lie
g»ve their history and told of what
steps hail been taken by the medical
profession towards the elimination of
these diseases The doctor paid his
respects to "Damaged Goods” by say
ing that he thought |t should he seen
by every person over fifteen year* of
age, but never presented to a mixed
audience.
Dr. Coleman’s address was free from
technical terms so that all lie said
could bo easily understood, und tt whs
11stciii'd to with tho closest attention
and greatly appreciated by the club
women present.
Mrs. Hoke of Athens was then ask

l was filled with common sense and fine
| advice and was cordially endorsed by
every woman present. Shy began by
I saying that she had never made a
j speech In her life and that this would
be her maiden effort. It was difficult
to realize this, as she spoke with such
ease and fluency. She began by speak
ing of the deep Interest taken In the
Augusta club by the late Mrs. White,
of Athens, and of her desire for the
formation of a federated club here.
Mrs. Hoke mentioned the fact that
there . re so many splendid societies
among the Augusta women and that
the only drawback to their successful
work, according to the opinion she-had
formed since coming here, was that
they needed to do more effective work
was to form a "city federation” that
would bring them all together under
some one leader, who was capable of
direct) lg and leading. She spoke of
the fact that when any hill Is up he
fore the legislature that Ih important
to women, the Athens Federation is
often appealed to with the question
"Will you use your influence for, or
against this hill?”
Augusta should be In a position to
have this wonderful power of concert
ed Influence that can only come from
organization and co-operation.
Mrs. Hoke spoke beautifully about
the wonderful Influences women’s
clubs were In getting the women of
a community together. She dwelt with
eloquence upon the truth that when
a woman comes to a city from the
country or from a neighboring town
there are few that call upon her or
try to make her feel at home in the

community. She spoke of the way so
many women take no interest in other
women not in their “set,” and asked
was there any common meeting ground
in this or other cities for the women
of the community hut the womens
clubs. It should bring together all the
bets women of the community—those
who have always lived in the com
munity and strangers—those of dif
ferent churches and different religions
—women of different sets and cliques
—all these should be brought together
by the women’s club.
Mrs. Hoke then went on to speak
of the broader work of the women's
clubs outside of their own communi
ties. For instance, there are seven in
stitutions of learning established by
the state for the boys and men of
Georgia but only one, for women,
though women pay the taxes that pro
vide these institutions Just the same
that the men do. And in not one
of these state institutions Is there a
hospital or infirmary for the boys.
She pleaded for the club women to
work towards the establishment of in
firmaries In all of these Institutions
and especially in Athens for the uni
versity. She told the interesting fact
that the Athens Club has three thou
sand dollgrs already raised for this
purpose and appealed to the patriot
ism of the Augusta women to help
In this purpose which is after all not
for the benefit of boys who live in
Athens and who are nursed at their
homes when 111, but for the boys from
Augusta and cities all over the state.
She touched on the Injustice of not

sity of Georgia when they passed the
examinations perfectly, and closed by
urging the Augusta women to use
their Influence to correct these injus
tices to women and to get the legis
lature to establish hospitals in con
nection with the state institutions of
learning. Mrs. Hoke was warmly ap
plauded at the conclusion of her in
formal talk.
At one-thirty o’clock the .meeting
was adjourned and the entire audi
ence of club women regaled with a
delicious luncheon served by the Phi
lomathic Club in Confederate Hall and
a charming social hour enjoyed.
At two-thlrty the afternoon session
opened with the minutes of the morn
ing session being read by Mrs. Arnold
after which Mrs. J. D. Hammond gave
a most interesting talk on ‘Social
Service,” followed by one equally as
Interesting on "Home conomics" by
Miss Eva Lord Murphey, of Milledge
vllle.
The presence of Miss Carolyn Cobb,
of Atlanta, state chairman of the
Drama League of America, added
much to both the pleasure and inter
est of thee convention. Miss Cobb
spoke most eloquently on the subject
of the Drama League and succeeded
In Interesting every woman present
In it. So interested did they become
that the Philomathlc Club and the
Woman’s Clubs will soon be identified
with it and In this way start the ball
rolling here and form a nucleus for
the organization of a branch In Au
gusta.
At the conclusion of Miss Cobb's ;
address the meeting was moved ad
journed, the delegates departing with
the most enthusiastic praise of the
day’s convention, the luncheon and all
at which they had been entertained by
the Philomathlc Club, the Teachers’
Club, and the Augusta Woman’s Club,
who were joint hostesses of the day.
Question of Norwegian
Emmigration to Canada
Christiania.—The question of Nor
wegian emmigration to Canada has been
brought Into prominence by the trial of
a libel suit against the editors of the
brought by the agent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. The plaintiff
In Ihe suit was David Jacobsen, who was
until recently the Norwegian consul at
Montreal. He returned to Norway re
cently to take charge of the railway’s
Immigration agency here.
While In Canada Mr. Jacobsen sent
reports to his government denouncing
the alluring promises held out by the
Canadian authorities for attracting Im
migrants. He represented that the rail
ways gave the most difficult work to
Norwegian laborers, that these were in
adequately paid and not well protected
legally. On a trip home Mr. Jacobsen
gave lectures In which he expressed the
same views.
Ihe libel suit was based on an article
which criticised the former consul, com
paring his work as agent to promote
emigration to Canada to his consular
utterances upon the subject. The ver
dict was In favor of the newspaper.
