BIENNIAL ADK55SS0P M&SADASi PLATT DECKED ! DELTVLED AT THE COirVEimOK JUST CLOSED, ST. PAUL, :.. ' "In presenting a written report to yon ; Of the tut two year work. I anticipate , soma disappointment oa the part of the , convention. I have not com today with eloquence or, flowery periods, with dreams or fancies.- tout I have conn nod ... myself to the careful consideration of Uia present statu and future policy of ' the federation.- To this end I shall make aertaln recommendations which will be ' submitted -for your discussion at the : time and data announced In .the program . under the head of 'Discussion of the President's Address.- . "The General Federation of Women' flubs has bad several stages of develop' -' ment during Its brief life of U years. - : "Flret the birth throes, which were to " a certain extent painful and prolonged, because, at the- time of Its origin, the J only largcjtatlonal, organisations of -, women ware pf a reform or sectarian ' .; religious character.' For this reason, an organization with simply the platform of self-development . and""mutual Ira--4 provement. or. as the new charter reads, v 'A body corporate and polltle for educa 4 tlonal. Industrial, philanthropic, literary, artistic and scientific culture, and to ' bring into communication with on an- other the various . women's : clubs throughout the world. was absolutely '. a new thin; under the sunv r ' "An . organisation which by It very - nature would reach hot only the coura geous, progressive-women.v the-fearless " leader, but would also draw-to Its ranks the conservative. timid home -'. woman; would develop In her a desire and mind to discover herself, and by ao . doing lead her gradually Into far fields of Investgatlon and progress,' In lines . hitherto - unthought and undreamed of In her quiet routine: such ah organise tlon was necessarily viewed with aus V ptclon and sometimes with ridicule. But '' the federation waa born, and In spite : of distrust. In spite of sarcasm. In spit ' of misgivings. It II years of life have ... demonstrated that it was well born, and , a thoroughbred. . "The second period of the federation . was that of organisation. ' The begin . ntng of tat federations, the tnultlply ' ing of individual cluba, 'the association of local and city organisation and all ' the adaptation and adjustment which " this great work required. ; - - . -" ?Teethin; Age." ,: 'The third period wa what would be l-ralled .by a mother. of- family the teething age' the' years when Infantile -disease were prevalent, when the child 1. was growing In body and "the ven-bl-4 ance must oe made wita heart ana mina. y After these trying year the next ta- . wa the readjustment which come to ' the individual system because of any strain of nerve or1 body.-; Each of the eminent, women who have served the .. organisation a presidents have faced a particular' condition and " problem, and today we ran ' butt congratulate the f deration Tthat" the ;1 respective leaders have so faithfully and grandly met these '.. oftlmes perplexing, , yet alwaya Inevi table circumstance In the history of organised bodies. ' "Two - year ago when the 'present board was Inducted Into office the usual time wa given tp routine business, to . appointment of committee and to tak ing which might be called In mercantile - - phrase -'account- pf - stock.' After - that , , came the most careful , analysis and study of all the condition of the federa- lion., ' The conclusion was reached by ' your president. In which ah wa sup-. . rrted by many", of the board members, "; that the next step In the development of . '.the general , federation should be the ' . centralisation, the perfection or coriaum- mstlon pf the organisation, with all that implies. But the present board assumed office, a one might say, 'during the plp- Ing times of peace. 'L No great Issue ws . being discussed, no new plan were par , ticularly under way, no crisis was lmml ' . ' nent. For thi reason It ha been possible- give "special attention to cer tain detail, which It I believed will . make for the future stable growth of : the federation. If thoroughly known and approved by thla convention. ., Ita Ug. '.j ..T "It ha been the privilege of your president to be a guest at some part of it state federation conventions. At ' many of those meeting It is her firm belief that no mention of the general federation would have been made, ex empt for her presence; no iilac was ' given It on the program: no allusion to, ; or reports of the 8t Louis biennial were heard; many club did not even realise that through their membership In the tat federation, they were also a part of the general federation. The . que- tlon were over present Why should we belong to the general, federation 1 What I It fort .. - ,.. '- Mighty Machine. - "It 1 evident that there i not-the proper centripetal forcer s-4o apeak, which will focus the club' Interest upon . the general federation, making a mighty machine whose every part shall respond , to the power thus centrally generated. . - .- ' 1 V ' . Mra. Sarah S. Piatt Decker. ', - ; t : ','. i ... . . . . . You Will say that w have organisation. It is true that we have rules, and by laws and dues; that' certain officers are elected- for-eertaln-tlrae, that w have nw oiennia convwnnoir -wun aw ua- up lifting and revivifying influences; that we lasu ' circular and books of ' in formation; that we tranaact much busi ness. 8oJr, saTiood-. But none of these things are genuine organisation. They are merely the body and flesh, the hell, but not the spirit and soul. "The federation is not solely a busi ness proposition for a club. A member ship is being represented at the biennial. A structure of this nature must hold It member by a tie as strong a blood kinship; the tie of belief In It work, of devotion to It causes, of .study of Its purposes and of fealty and faith to It principles wherever possible. "Now the great effort should be to concentrate and weld together, to make the general federation with Ita board and committees the center from which hall radiate Information And Influence and to which every smallest and most remote club shall give heed. . "To thl end. ' early during thl ad tat president and published also in the club journal -urging that all fedora- tlon and Individual cluba organise their committee in harmony with those of tn general federation In whole or part. Thi suggestion ha been acted upon by many of the state and club presidents with great heartiness, and Its effect In Increasing Interest and. loyalty I al ready apparent. -j ,- Bureau of Information. - A ' second ' and the most important step, a move In the same direction, haa been the beginning of the bureau of in formation. The criticism oftenest made of club and federation work 1 that It I without system or harmony. To a certain extent, thl Is a Just Judgment, which In time msy be disproved, how ever, by the work of the bureau, which will be the mean of disseminating the chib doctrines; will give enlightenment as to the purposes and scope of the federation; and (shall we dare to hope?) will eventually evolve a 'general federa tion course of study, understanding arranged. Perhaps better than, all else will be the historic preservation which la the only stable foundation and back ground for the progress of even a na- GIRL WRITES CLASS POEM , The- North Central Grammar school . . rejoices In the possession of a budding poet, a charming miss of the class of ritjg.

At the - present- -time the officers of the general federation doubt less receive the year book of club and federation. To- aoraoextent also,- they re sent to other board member and committees, but no systematic collection Is made, no record of work In Individual club or federation; no one 1 delegated to give out Information, and th latter depend upon the good nature of the one to whom application Is made and th persistency of the seeker after knowledge. -.

What would become of the Bible so cieties and the home- and foreign mis sion association without headquarter T rn moat pronounced benefit, how ever, to be derived from th bureau of Information will be the bringing to th club or federation the knowlede-e of the value of It membership with thej great society, ana tn reeling that, the general federation I no lunger an ln- tangiDie, rar-of f impression, but a genu- Ine body and substance. Th education which" can be- given upon all lines of club work by-, a properly conducted bureau; th feeling . that th smallest club Is a factor, and of Importance, that all ' are children of one mother and should have the same maternal care and help, win soon produce - the desired knowledge of and loyalty to the general federation. . The objection raised to the bureau of Information that the buay presidents and secretaries of club, or state federatlona. could not be burdened by the collection ' of statistics, year books, records, etc, can be obviated by making the jreneral federation secretary the medium of communication along men line. " . ' . ." ' v-' Directorg aa Chairmen. "A third step In th ' centralisation proeess waa the appointment of a mem ber of the board of directors to be the correspondent and advisor of a selected chairmag of a standing committee. There were two reason for thi plan. "First In order that each standing committee and It Interest should 'be thoroughly known to th board, through oh of Its members. ,. ,j , ' "Second, to begin a training school, so to apeak, for standing - committees. The federation Is too large and Its In terests too Important to longer select the standing committees geographically. That plan must prevail with th board of director. In order that the various section of -the country be represented. but the committees, especially the chair men, should be experts, trained in their "sJ f espcnve'TTInsV AfTdlhOf oughlycon versant, . a wen, witn ine reaerauon method. - There can be no better school In which to begin this training than by service upon the board of directors. We commend thl plan to t he Incoming board and officer. - - .,. . -The council meeting, which was re sumed after a lapse of some years and was held at Atlantic City In June, 105, was productive of much collective and Individual help. Being of an Informal nature. It brought more direct con tact to those attending, and Its influence ha been "decided throughout thl year following. "During the last biennial period many suggaatlona of new works . and,, new causes to be undertaken by th federa tion have been received "by board and officers.. At present there Is ao com mittee to which such proposition may be' referred. It I therefore recom mended that a new standing committee shall be created with the name1 of 'out look committee,' whose duty shall be to Investigate and report upon th advis ability of new work. "It Is recommended also that the In dustrial committee and the child labor subcommittee be combined, to be called Industrial committee." as their object and plans of work are. nearly identical. Federation Organ.- " J- ' -!,': - " ' ' . The question of a federation organ la a much discussed and vexatious prop osition. ' The situation up to within per haps six months of tbe present time was thus. .With th building of a firmer love - and knowledge of the federation will come the deal re for a national Jour nal and th support of It At present that 1 th on thing needful. . A per ceptible gain within th last half year in thl direction ha been evident. "On most Important step . which would be of great effect In the central isation proceaa, and would bring mem bers into direct and sympathetic rela tion with th whole, would be th pres ence at each state convention of a gen eral officer. A stated above, th pres ent president has been privileged to visit 2 stat federation meetings. This, however, would only be possible to an officer of great bodily strength and unlimited time, a condition which can not alway prevail in the selection of a president. "To meet future conditions, it la sug gested to stat president that suooea lv meetings be arranged In contiguous district a. For Instance, a at present scheduled. If th president of tbe gen eral federation - should accept invita tion for the far western stat con ventlons. , In on year she would be obliged to make a trip to Idaho In Janu ary. California In February, Montana in June, Colorado tn September, Oregon, Wyoming and Utah In October and Arizona In November. This would mean air long, fatiguing Journeys and the purse of a Fortunatus. If June invita tions were accepted, th president wOutdbobltged to use an-airship-4o be' present In ' Connecticut Montana, Kentucky and South Dakota. Even New England 1 complicated, the present ar rangement being Rhode Island In Feb ruary. New Hampshire in May, Con necticut in June, Maine In September, Vermont in October. Massachusetts be Ins- the shlnlne- exception In that It ha four meeting a yean" and one can al ways 'drop in' and find a stat federa tion meeting In the Old Bay State. "Without going Into further details. It Is only necessary to stat that Oc tober ha 14 state conventions, Msy 10 and November 7. It would te impoaai- ble to cover these except by two or three Journeys. Douhtless It would take time and some sacrifice to rearrange these vearlv dates, but In th end it would bring a closer touch and a larger growth to both the stat and general federations. This recommendation Is iresnecttullv referred to the presidents of stat federations, ana xne lormir aure-estlon 1 renewed regarding the harmonising of state and club commit tees with those of th general federa "In the final estimate. If we define thla ora-anlzatlon. 4f we reply to th oft re peated question. What I the purpose of the federstlonr We should answerr.The Oeneral Federation of Women' club is -not a reform organisation per so. It Is briedly aympftthetiff with reform, but it is not a propaganda. If I hot phil anthropic distinctively, -though on of th greatest agencies - of -thej-tSay- f or careful study of methods and genuine helpfulness In this direction. It la not purely eoolologlcal, .thoughwlth- llvlna4-: Interest, and a spienaia reoora or ser vice In uplifting work. It is in no sense political, yet its Influence and power are to be aeen In every, state legisla ture, and It ha th proud boast of hav-i ing been a great factor In passing a long disputed federal measure- through, the senate, during th present session of congress. It cannot be called an academy or museum of art yet one of the greateat authorities of th age ha aid that th year of study and dem onstration In th club and federation have produced tbe wonderful results shown In the school room decoration and much of the arts snd crafts move ment, by which a genuine, love for and knowledge of art is being .instilled Into the coming men and women. It I not a university, yet a surprising stimulus had been given to the study of litera ture, -science and history, in hundreds and hundreds of American homes be cause pf the club membership of mother or daughter. It has no bureau of pub licity, yet through its membership of clubs and federations haa been more far-reaching In dlsaemlnatlng knowl edge and arousing publlo - senti ment upon the question which make for good cltlsenahlp than any other body of worker, becau of ita broad. Inclusive line and wider outlook. -'The federation Is typical of America Itself. It has been absorbed In 'getting together,! Bo greaCsnd tngrpsalng has been this operation that In places the building Is weak, lacking the strength and stability of slow, painstaking pro cesses. . Th federation may become a mighty factor In the civilisation of the century, if wielded as a whole; an army or builder, ready, alert yatematlc and sclantlflo, not only a potent force In this generation, but transmitting to the rext a vigor and strength whlcbXhas never been given by any race of woman to their Inhcrttora" .
