So much of club spirit and club helpfulness was expressed In the ad dress of Mrs. Frederick Eggert at the opening of the Woman's Club In Port land this fall, she has been prevailed upon to allow It to be published as every club In the Btate should have the benefit of It.

"To the members of the club I de sire to express my profound appre- elation of your confidence and of the honor conferred In my election, after an Interim of four years, a second time to the office of president. j In tho light of past experience, I am not unmindful of tho burden of , responsibility Involved and realize that my best endeavor will be Insuf ficient to enable me, In the perform ance of duty, to attain to the high standard commensurate with my con ception of what Is duo this organiza tion. "In tho July number of the Twen tieth Century Magazine, in an article entitled 'The New Leadership,' Mrs. Frances Squire Potter, that brilliant writer and queen of oratory, whom we have so recently been privileged to hear, In eulogizing Mrs. Eva Perry Moore, the retiring president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs sets forth most lucidly the evolution of women's clubs and of the latest type of clubwoman In these words: 'A generation ago, women's clubs were generally social and literary. Today the lltorary clubs are dwind ling and the departmental civic clubs are growing. ""The cultural clubs are coming to be regarded as an Intellectual luxury, while the departmental civic clubs are becoming a practical engine for social reform. So some have believed that literature and the other arts are In danger of being pushed Into the this fall excellent kitchen, background of social forces, whilo direct political activities appeal ever more strongly to tho young women In the club movement.
