the school assembly hall for the last I
time until school opens again In the I
Fall. This meeting was arranged for I
the evening that the fathers as well
as the mothers might come. ine
fathers seemed to appreciate the oppor
tunity, for a great .many of them were
present.
A short business meeting was first
held, after which Miss Keller, the
teacher of music at the school, rendered
two delightful solos. ' She was accom
panied at the piano by Lowell Patton.
A very interesting address was given
by Mr. Sabin, the recent retiring mem

fessor Whitney and the two playground
directors of Peninsula Park. -After this
ice cream and cak were served to
everyone, although the big assembly
hall was crowded. The decorations
were pink Rambler roses in large,
graceful clusters.. .
A great deal has been accomplished
in this association during the one short
year of its existence. First of all, there
are ISO members, ail of them actively
interested in everything pertaining to
the school. . The principal. Professor
Whitney, has always been in attend
ance at every meeting and his helpful
suggestions and deep interest In the
work of the association have contribu
ted to its success. Everything that
should" be of interest to such an organi
zation has been carefully studied and
considered by its members. Too much
cannot be said of the untiring efforts
of the president, Mrs. Marshall N. Dana,
and all were unanimous in their choice
of Mrs. Dana as president for another
year.
The officers, as recently 'elected, are:
Mrs. Marshall N. Dana, president; Mrs.

George H. Thomas, recitation; Mrs. 'W.
Arthur Viggers, Miss Ellse Cramer, Mrs.
URING the past week the impor
tant event of interest to "e
r-inha In eeneral was the election
of officers on Thursday, but there were
several affairs given by the individual
circles that claimed attention. Lewel
lvn Parent-Teacner Association held a
picnic, on Friday at the Oaks; Ockley
Green held an exhibition of the domes
tic science, art and manual training
work and the school girls wore dresses
of their own making. . A large attend
ance of the parents attested to the in
terest in these events. '
Sellwood and Woodstock , schools
both held school work exhibits and the
associations enjoyed programmes-, and
a "get-together" social time.
Creston had a meeting on Wednes
day night, when Professor ' George

George H. Crawford: vice-president,
Mrs. J. G. Beattie: secretary, Mrs. M.
W. Kinqaid; treasurer. Mrs. E. M. Flat

Portland long, but she is eminently
fitted for the office she holds, as she
has had a vast amount of experience in
club, civic and social service work in
Oakland. Cal.
Shattuck Association lias -accomplished
much this year under the lead
ership of Mrs. J. F. Kelly. At the re
cent entertainment given by the asso
ciation Miss Winifred Mosher was an
active worker.
Another successful circle is at Oak
Grove. Mrs. V. Benvie is a leader in
that district. Mrs. Kuks. Mrs. M. L,
Williams and Mrs. A. Kornbrodt are
prominent members.
The history of the growth -of the
Portland Parent-Teacher Association
under the presidency of Mrs. F. S,
Mvers has been acknowledged by. edu
cators and those interested in parent
k teacher and child welfare work to be
almost miraculous. At the beginning
of her term of office Mrs. Myers called
together the presidents of the various
circles (there weren't many then). A
luncheon was held In the Young Wom
an's Christian Association and a round
table discussion followed. So enthus
iastic was the new president that all
of her officers immediately took up the
work with redoubled energy: Commit
tees were appointed to extend the
work. Each circle represented prom
ised to add another circle to the city
association. Everyone worked will
ingly, untiringly and harmoniously and
before long Portland was able to boast
parent-teacher organization in every
one of its grade schools.
The progress has been watched by
Eastern workers and one eminent au
thority said that Portland leads the
country In association accomplishment.
At the first June meeting the ovation
displayed when Mrs. Myers was again
asked to accept the presidency demon
strated that the members felt that to
her was due most of the credit, al
though she generously gave the honors
to her associates. Tact and good
judgment and thoughtfulness as well
as executive ability have been dis
played. .

BY MRS. SARAH A. BVANS,
President Oregon State Federatloa of
.t Women'a Clubs.
S ; THE aftermath of the great
convention of the General Fed
eration of Women' Clubs, which
closed lat Wednesday at Chicago,
reaches us, one of the most amazing
things Is the zeal of the women- who
attended packed sessions, from early
morning until late at night, with the
mercury sizzling in the high 90s,
and with enthusiasm unabated, carry
ing out every programme to the letter.
They were in reality packed ses
sions, for in spite of the preparation
that baa been made for a huge crowd.
It exceeded all expectation.
The Auditorium Theater, one of the
largest assembly halls' in the country,
was. taxed to its capacity with dele
gates; even the galleries to the third
tier were utilized for seating the dele
gates, much to tne disgust of the slates
who found themselves so far removed
from the platform that it required
unusual effort to hear - the speaker.
Oregon delegate were exceedingly for
tunate In this respect, as they were
seated but two row back from the
platform.
Mrs. William Fear and Mrs. Joseph
Tattlt were the only two Portland
delegates who stayed during the entire
convention and attended every session.
There was much lor tne social en
tertainment, but the work of the con
vention was taxing ana tne greatest
credit is due those wno couia assist
In the . real work for which the con
vention had been planned:
Never In tha history of convention
of the General Federation nas mere
been such lavish and generou hospi
tality extended as was shown at Chi
cago. Almost every delegation had its
state dinner or tea, to which many
others were invited. One of the great
occasions was the dirner given by Mrs
William Todd Helmuth, president of the
Pioneer Workers. This dinner was by
invitation, and all were Mrs. neimutn s
personal guests. It was a most elab
orate affair, and even the convention
programme was suspended for that
evening. The hostess Is one of the
charter member of New York Sorosls.
and one of the organizers of the Gen
eral federation. She will be remem
bered by many Oregon clubwomen who
had the pleasure of meeting her when
she spent the day In Portland with tli
New York delegation on It way horn
from San Francisco, two years ago.
The press luncheon, under the direc
tion of Mrs. G. J. Clarke, of Indiana,
was a notable affair. It became so
popular, and ticket were much In
demand, they had to be limited to 260
and every one wa taken. It w held
in the Tudor room. Mandel Bros. Th
civic and conservation department
gave similar luncheon with equal uc
cess, but these were not hat counted
In the final summing up of Chicago's
hospitality: It wa in the splendid way
all the local committee, but paclal
ly the hospitality committee, looked
after Its guests.
Thl committee invited tha chairman
of all tha General Federation depart
ment to attend tha convention as the
guest of Illinois, and entertained them
at the Congress Hotel. Tha chairmen
of the sub-committee were also tha
guest of Illinois and ware entertained
at the home of prominent clubwomen.
The speakers and special guest war
also entertained at the expense of th
clubwomen of the state.
Tha Illinois Pre Association held
open house for the women during the
entire session in the Fine Arts build
ing, and erved tea frsm 4 to 6:30 every
afternoon.
Tha business of the convention was
strenuous from start to finish, and It
did not take long to determine what
the one vital issue of the convention
was to be.
Suffrage took the center af the t.
even before the presldant'a gavel railed
the first session to order. It wa a
carefully conceived, well thought out
campaign, with no loose end dancllng.
and carried throurh with consummate
skill and with the finesse of the
trained politician, and th and was ac
complished o cleverly tht th lasu
want sklddjng djwn the way to vic
tory almost before It promoter real
ized It had started.
Heretofore, all resolution were re
ferred to tha resolution committee,
who exercised almost autocratic power
in disposing of them; they were re
ported back to the convention, or not.
a the committee saw fit, which vir
tually made the resolutfons committee
greater than the 'convention. It wa
