Early Beginnings.
The credit for the great p an, the im
mediate thought which animated and
pit in motion the bureau was Mrs Deck
ers although we find in Mrs. Moore a
"port of the reciprocity committee at
Lti tha first suggestion. It was
in response to a recognized need that
the bureau was conceived. The ques
ir.dv been raised. "What Is
: ' ' Minilnn doinir for us?'
-Whit bond U there between the Indi
vidual club and the general federation T
Why join the "eral federation? It
whs to nriage una ,Y ,j i
threatened to bo a series of Individual
clubs, or at the most, a series of state
federations into a great whole, a real
federation, that the bureau had birth.
The thought which underlay the very
foundation of the general federation,
From each according to her needs, to
each according to her need.- was still
in theorv an underlying principle, but it
remained for the bureau to put it Into
I i ictlcal execution. The confusion of
n lines of officers, committee chairmen
and other workers of the general feder
ation left the woman of the small and
somewhat remote club still unable to
know to whom she should apply fur the
help which would have been given glad
K It was an actual fact that not one
in ;i thousand clubwomen could tell the
names of the different committee chair
men. .
I f It was difficult to remember 20
name., it is a comparatively simple
thing to lemember one. Thousands of
women h.i- testified to this.
Wonderful Beoord.
Iurlng the life of the bureau more
than it. 00" lcttets have been received
fiom clubwomen alone, while many
others have bei n received from business
hup editors, publishers, lecturers and
men and women in many calls of life
This fact Is significant enough to prove
t'ond argument the wisdom of estab
lishing a bureau. But without doubt
tin- real test has been its usefulness.
The i:hie figures speak also for tbls
phase of the question since It will be
obvious to even the superficial observer
that unless the bureau had met the
needs of the early applicants no uch
number of women would have sought

expert teachr.s, publishers and editors.
t well as bv the Invaluable aid of the
officers and chairmen of committees in
the general federation, and many other
rrganlzations. ti,e bureau has been able
In the very great malorlty of cased to
give the needed assistance
This really wonderful record I not
due in any sense to the personnel of
the management but rather to the exist
ence of a single central bureau with
the great strength and Influence of
mora than Jtu.oeO earnest women behind
It. The principal reasons why the
bureau baa been able to serve so la-rg
a number are. first, the necessity of
remembering; hot one ad'res for ell
questions: second, tbe Influence of the
Cnetfl federation of women e clubs
hlnVtha bureau: third, the value of
a clng house for any greet organi
sation: fourth, tbe worth of a re
pository ' fer -the general federation
history, publications, statistics, etc.
Into tho bureau have 'poured, from
all sourcts. year books, study programs,
syllabi, magazine articles, press clip
pings, magazines, books and leaflets.
Today the bureau has more than 2.600
study outlines1 which may be recom
mended with great pride. These are in
many cases syllabi which have been
prepared by experts and eontatn much
valuable material aside from the mere
outline for study. The outlines cover
a very great variety of subjects includ
ing art, history, literature, travel,
science, etc.
What It Contains.
Through the courtesy of magazine
editors and publishers, the bureau has
a complimenturv copy each month of
uboul 30 different periodicals. We have
326 reference books which have been
selected with the greatest care. Our
reference library is made up of dona
tions from many sources ns follows:
Seventeen volumes from Mrs. Pecker,
100 from the United States government,
i7 from, state federations, 'six from In
dividual clubs. 140 from Individuals.
This valuable library contains books of
travel, art, science, literature, nature
study, sociology, household economics,
history, art and crafts and other sub
jects of vital interest to the cluhwomen
of the country. The majority of these
books were selected with reference to
a general need, but special mention
should be made of two sets of books
which were selected in a somewhat dif
ferent manner.
Tile books donated bv Miss Iute R.
Stearns of Milwaukee. "Wis., were pur
chased to accompany the outline on
"Twelve Famous Novels" which was
prepared by the literature committee of
the general federation, of which Miss i
Stearns is a member, They include not L wot.(i from Mrs. i)ec.kpr we. consulted

such an offer would set In motion: what
Interesting expeditions, communions and

on Egyptian art, mediaeval
literature and what not, compared to
such a community work that would
make the face of tha earth more beauti
ful and the people more content?
Efforts His directed;
"The main trouble with the woman's
club Idea is that it is misdirected: it
chases the mythical pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow and sees not the
beauty of the prismatic arch itself.
When Its members study the Filipino
and Filipino history and life it misses
a signal point for instance, that the
tiniest Filipino village is far more
beau Iff ul than is the perky little rail
road town in which the club members
live. If the members saw that fact
then their studies would be worth some
thing to the community. The gathering
would break up, not with a confused
notion of what it had been discussing,
but with a concrete need in its mind
of the beautif ication of the architecture
of its town: of the embowering of
country road, of the laying eRit of vil
lage drives, of the uplifting of the
community spirit. To inculcate the love
of the beautiful and the pride of home
in the. mind of., the young is far more
important to us in me immediate pres
ent than what Caesar did or Rameses
stoou for.
Without doubt this editorial was read
with indignation by very many club
women, who recognized the Injustice of
ii ana wno indignantly, if silently, pro
tested that such misinformation as that
implied in this editorial should be read
by so larfre a number of uninformed
persons, from many sources came let
ters and telephone messages to the
manager or tho bureau to reply and at
only the 12 novels themselves but a ref
erence book on each author except rur
frenev. A similar plan whs canted out
by Mrs. Morris of Berlin, Wis., who
contributed to the bureau a supply of
her excellent guides to the study of
epochs of English history tn connection
with Shakespeare's plays and gave also
a set of valuable reference books for
the studv of Shakespeare.
This plan Is to be very highly com
mended and might be carried out to
advantage whenever so desired by the
donor. Such a scheme is particular! y
beneficial to such clubs as are some
what removed from public libraries
since it enables the to follow a con
tinuous program with much profit.
Values of the Bureau.
The bureau has been a great means
Of education to its manager. If every
woman In the general federation who
doubts the value of federation or the
value of Individual clubs holding direct
membership with the general federation
could sit for one (lay at the desk of
the manager of the bureau of infor
mation. rhe would be converted instant
ly. Here the busy woman from thp
west, with no public library within 20 f
miles, mav benefit from the generous
thought of her who has at her command i
both time and books Here the mem- j
ber of the program committee of a club
In a rural community mav consult the
outlines prepared by a college professor i
and If a scarcity of funds prevail In
her clpb she may also find reference i
books, magazine articles and pamphlets
of other clubs and kindred organizations
to help throughout the entlr year.
Of another value the bureau has heei
found to be. Occasionally an ex-president,
a clergyman, a magazije writer
and even an aditor has r-onsldered it
the proper thing to speak slichtingl
of the woman's club movement It is
r.ot necessary to reearse thff in

tbe good which has been and is con
stantly being accomplished every .rd

norance of the speaker concerning the
subject in hand. Formerly, however

more beautiful school rooms and
grounds testify to this phase of civic
work of clubwomen.
Thousands of clubwomen are aroused
to the beauty and value of the forests,
the moral valuo of parks and play
grounds and the spiritual doctrine of
cleanliness. Thousands are being aroused
to the power which Is theirs to ralHe
Btandards, to protect child life and to
urge forward civilization. It Is an un
speakable privilege to see tho bureau a
means of Intercommunication between
these women, to sec clubs ln the south
west and northeast and the north,
south, east anil west struggling to con
quer each Its own particular problem,
and suddenly coining up against a prob
lem which, while real, offers no sugges
tions of Its own which helps In Its so
lution, and the bureau is called in and
from the experience of other clubs light
Is turned on and a way out appears.

Does Not Conflict.
It has often been asked if the bu
reau conflicted with or handicapped the
work of the standing committees. On
the contrary, we believe that the bu
reau can be of great value to each chair
man in carrying but the work of her
committee.
One Instance of the way in which the
bureau can help: The new health de
partment of the civic committee has Is
sued circulars calling attention of club
women to the prevalence, prevention and
cure of tuberculosis Tiie committee Is
the expert body which sets the pace,
blazes the trail, and the bureau aims
to help. It Is one in tills way: Hun
dreds of club presidents and program
committees write for protrrams and sug
gestions. The bureau suggests consid
eration of the tuberculosis problem. The
bureau thus aids and aids in a valuable
way and at a valuable time. The circu
lar of the health department may have
already reached tne club, but it may
have reached it In the middle of the
club year when all plans had been
made "and all days were full. It may
have reached sympathetic eyes but the
time may not have been ripe. The bu
reau has the advantage in this way: It
only suggests when ndvl-e Is sought
and the ground Is yearning for the seed.
Much appreciation Is felt by the man
ager of the bureau for the splendid
cooperation of the leading clubwomen
everywhere. The address of the bureau
appears ln the year bonk of most of
the state federations and the Individual
clubs, and this Is of Inestimable value.
Newsnaoer columns have announced our
mission and clubwomen everywhere have
sought to help and to he helped.
So much, then, for the work of the
past. Tho bureau has received very
many letters or encouragement ana its
manager feels that even the most san-a-iilne
at Atlantic City or nt St. Paul
must feel that their prophecies have
been fulfilled and that tho clubwomen
have demonstrated that the establish
ment of the bureau of information was
a needed step.
More to Be Sone.
But let us not give the Impression
CHARITY WORK, MUCH OF WHICH IS UNNOTICED
By M. J. Roche.
"The evil that men do live after them;
The good is ott interred with then
bones."
Not so with the sweet-faced N'un of
Mercy. They see no evil, they speak no
evil, they bear no evil. If any one of
mortal born is fit to enter the king
dom of God, and holy writ says they
are who live their lives upon this
earth in accord with his commands, then
these same sweet faced women, who.
with the soft and gentle ministrations
of the angel, soothe the pain of what
ills man is heir to, or devote their lives
to training the minds of the young that
hey, too. may lead that life which will
end with the kingdom of heaven as its
reward, have awaiting them an after
life which will be a full recompense
:'or all they have denied themselves
while, ln the flesh.
Life of Sacrifice.
Ood would not be Just were he to give
to them, who have given up everything,
.sacrificed family and home, denied
themselves every pleasure that you and
I may reap the benefit of their prayers
and sacrifices, and to the worldly who
have given up nothing, sacrificed no
thing, am! live but for the pleasures
they derive from life, the same hereaf
ter.
How few know tho sacrifices of these
noble Women; how few know the good
they have done, are doinir and will do
uritll the end of time. There is no lim
it to their efforts no e.nd to their doing.
Whether it is caring for the sick, teach
ing the young, or making life for the
iged and decrepit worth the living, they
are ever on the go. Truly the all-wise
ruier or mis mundane sphere will say
to them when Gabriel selves the final
blast to his trumpet: "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant."
One Governing Head.
The Sisters of Merc-' of this country,
unlike most religious bodies, nre not
under one governing head. Tho several
communities arc Independent one of the
other, and subject onli- to the ecclesias
tical head of the diocese in which they
are located.
Portland Is indeed fortunate ln hav
ing such a community. The order un
der the Jurisdiction of his grace has in
charge tha Mercy Home on Sixteenth
street, th- Home of the Angel at Sun
nyside, a school at Mount Tabor, a hos
pital nt North Bond, another at Albany,
and still another at Kugene, Besides
these tlM Baby Home at Park Place,
close to Oregon Citv. Is the especial
charge of Mother Acm s. that noble
woman who heads the or b-r. It Is of
this last place I would write.
Have vou ever visited such an institu
tion? if not do so. That you will be
surprised is putting it mildly Indeed.
Picture to yourself a family of sixty or
seventy tots, many still in their swad
dling clothes, and none more than or
7 years of age. It Is truly the babies'
home.
Where Good Is Done.
It was mv good fortune to visit St
Agnep' Baby Home at Park Place a few
days ago. The day of mv visit Uy( nuns
were in retreat, and, per force little
talking v. as dune about the place, and
strange. 1 might odd wonderful, to re
late, little noise made. With so many
young ones of such remarkably tender
ace. one would naturally expect to find
something of a bedlam. But tlrey were
well behaved and neither cried nor an
uoyed.
I never saw such cleanliness, such
neatness, such order. When I arrived
there tho little tots were in the reere,'
atton room. The older ones, some f if
teen or twenty in number, were lined
up in the middle of the floor reciting
a Jingly rhyme ntiout A little tocK
Sparrow." My advance checked them
for a moment.' but at a word from the
sister in charge they resumed, and
suited the action to tins word as well as
could or do many men and women of
much training. ft really was a clever
performance. Though my coming was
entirely unexpected yet there was but
the momentary flutter. When they re
sumed their eyes seemed to be glued
upon me. but not a word was skipped
nor a geature overlooked.
Two Interesting Booms.
Another batch was seated on the long
benches which skirted the floor like
wull-f lowers In a ball loom, while those
too voting to memorize rocked too and
fro "in their little baby-roekcrs. Go
(hou and see them woulds't thou spend
an hour or two in pleasure; and forget
not the iittlo box at the entrance, which
lias inscribed thereon, "Hem em her the
Hnhles." What was It he who sees fill
things said about. "Giving to mv little
ones," and "Suffer little children to
come unto me." Certain I v If he had
i bought for them, so should you.
Interesting as was the sight In the
play room, that show in the nursery was
even more so. Sprawling in their cribs
were a dozen or more, no one more than
six months old; clean as a pin and sweet
as coull be was each of the tots. Twins
of Italian parents, with only a birth
nark to distinguish them, interested me
much, as did a little black baby, for race,
color, nor creed ba t s none from this
holv place. Just think of tots only five
weeks' old and no mother to claim
them. Tnere was a little mite there
who was Inclined to be somewhat ob
streperous. He, or perhaps ahe, for I
did not ascertain "Its" sex, would not
stay down, but insisted upon sitting
erect and following me with a pair or
blue eyes as pretty as you would want
to look Into. I certainly did have to
wave a good bye and waft a kiss to the
sweet little thing.
Mors Beoognition Needed.
Each little one able to toddle about
has its own little bed in the dormitory,
and Its own little plate and trip and
bpoon at its own little place at one of '
the long low tables in the refeotory.
The play-room had Interested me bo
much that I returned there. What bash- .
fulness had existed had disappeared, and
ln a moment I had three or four of
them upon my knee. One little girl tot
puckered up her lips and In baby talk
begged for a kiss. Could one refuse
such a, plea? But this kiss was my un
doing, for had I not broken away I
would have kissed or been kissed by
every one in the room, and they were
not all of the dry kind either.
The training these little ones are
given is something marvelous. Any one
who has the patience to do this Is cer
tainly akin to those angels who hover
about the throne of God. and watch over
us mortals whiles we sleep.
Could the charlty-lovlngjubllo jof the
great city of Portland realise what
these noble women are doing they
would certainly make their work easier,
Much is needed there, and that mostly
plenty of good and wholesome water.
The health officers were there a few
days before my going. Their visit was.
like mine, unlooked for, but no trace of
il'ness and not a sign of unwholesome
dirt did they find. Their only criticism
was upon the water, and they, of their
own volition, promised to take the In
itial steps to have the home supplied
with water from Orea-on City. L for
one, hope they have made good that
Eromise, and that it will not bo long
efore the place is thus supplied.
Burdened With Debt.
Unfortunately there Is a debt of sev
eral thousand dollars hanging over the
place, or otherwise the good sisters
themselves would inaugurate this and
other needed Improvements. Would
that I were a John !.. thouirh hia money
is tainted, that I might put in an ele
vator and save these sweet-faoexl nuns
the many thousands of steps they take
in a day from the cellar to the third
floor. You who" are charitably In
clined and have the money to spare.
wnetner it no tainted or not, gyve this
a thought, and while you are building
elsewhere, build one for Mount St. Jos
eph, the Home for the Aged, at 8un-
nysiae.
HORSES EASY TO TRAIN

From the New York Pun.

about the mode of training fire depart

from their stalls the moment t lie gong

"Then the real training begins. The
