Castner, president of the Oregon Federation uf Women' Clubs, urges a Tester interest in Oregon literature. The Bulletin in full follows: My Dear Club Workers, Greetings: Those who attended the League to Enforce Peace conference in Portland February lo-lT could but ?arry back to' their clubs the crest inspiration re ceived from each speaker, and every club in the state Federation is hereby requested to forward at tnee an en dorsement cf the League and its pur poses to our Senators in Washington, L). C. Yoor State President has been made a member of the executive com mittee of the Oregon Branch of the League to Enforce Peace, and also served as a member of the committee from Oregon which with committees from Idaho and Washington drafted the platform of the League during its session in Portland. The luncheon which the State Feder ation tendered Mrs. Phillip North Moore on Monday of the League con ference was a success in every detail, and much credit is due the committee which arranged it. Many distinguished women were in attendance from other states, and federated club women from all sections of Oregon were well represented. Governor James Withycombe In the passing of Governor Withy combe the Oregon State Federation of Women's Clubs has lost a staunch sup porter and friend. During the present administration no call from the State Federation to his office has ever gone unheeded, and his interest in legisla tion for women and children is well known by every social worker of the state. Club women of the state are united in expressing their earnest appreciation of this splendid man. The Legislature Legislative measures fostered and endorsed by the State Federation met with success in nearly every instance. The jury bill failed to pass, but aside from that legislation effecting women arid child welfare in general was suc cessful. A letter of appreciation from the Grade Teachers' Association has leached the President's desk, thanking the club women of the entire state for the interest and support of the Domes tic Relations Court bill. Now that the inPuenza epidemic has about subsided, clubs will be able to finish up their year's work by filling programs full with the many outlines that have had to be put aside. As the club year draws to a close it is the hope of the State President and the chairman of the Federation Extension Committee that every Federated club in the state will extend its member ship to all women of the community, who have rendered such valuable patri otic service during the war, by offering them the fellowship of club dom. Add their strength to ours for future Federation activities. Has your club offered to the Red Cross workers in your community the opportunity of joining with you? Mv dear club women, you need these splendid women. They are a valuable asset to any club. Federation Dues Are your dues paid? payable to Mrs. H. Recording Secretary, Oregon. If not they are F Davidson, Hood River, lour own state library will gladly give j in helping with both outlinei and books j on any line of thought which you care ' to undertake. This servcie is free, ex cept for transportation, and loans can be made for the crub year, if neces sary. We are keenly interested in the proper recognition of the literary tal ent of our state, and have recom mended to State School Superintendent Churchill that a course in Oregon Lit erature be incorporated in our high school curriculum. We have his prom ise that when the time comes that the course can be legally changed, the matter will receive consideration. We recommend that club women en courage in every possible way the development of this great art among our citizens. We urgently request that every club member in the state do her utmost in the interest of the coming drive for money for the merger drive for soldier benefits which is to take place in the early winter. It includes the war library budget. We have one question. How many of the clubs in the state have given attention to the resolution adopted at the Prineville convention, which was introduced by our state librarian? The Literature and Library Commit tee has been in correspondence with the extension department of the State University regarding study courses for the next year, and the following let ter gives so clear a statement of the help which they will gladly give that we think best to print it just as we re ceived it. Clubs wishing to register for the course first mentioned should do so by the first of May, both because Miss Hair will want to know whether there will be enough wishing the work to justify them in formulating an outline, and because the clubs wishing the work will be anxious to know whether they can obtain it or not. "Yes, indeed, you may tell the club women that if as many as ten clubs wish to take up the discussion of the short stories in the Atlantic monthly and other standard magazines accord ing to an outline prepared by Mrs. Parsons, we shall be very glad indeed to give any assistance we can to such clubs. We can go even further than this I think. With the many vital questions that are coming up for the consideration of American people it may be that a number of clubs will not wish to confine their attention to a study of short stories. For instance, if a club group should wish to take up the study of such questions as recon struction work for returned soldiers, general problems of employment, ad justment of wages, health problems, child welfare, etc., the division will be glad to undertake the preparation of suggestive outlines and bibliographies. From the university library and from the state library groups will be able to borrow reference books and material. If, in some way, we could get at what lines of study the clubs wish to under take I feel sure we could be of assist ance. Would it be feasible or advis able for clubs to send to the extension division a brief statement of their wishes regarding study courses for next year in time for us to work out suggestive outlines for such courses as seem to be most in demand? We shall be glad to put facilities of the univer sity within reach of the club women of the state and should like to hear from you as to how this may best be done. "The Extension Division might also be able to send an occasional letcurer to clubs to speak on subjects bearing on their course of study." Mrs. C. J. Edwards, Chairman.

By permitting the supervisor of mu sic in the public schools to tell his ims and help him in carrving them out. By influencing the members to see that music in the home s of high standard. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. Herman A. Heppner, Chairman.

Drop in and look at our seed stock SEEDS Pill INK I'M WHITE RIVER FLOUR FRANK CHANDLER, Manager Literature and Library Committee Report To the Oregon Federation of Wom en's Clubs, Greeting: At the beginning of the year we realized that, in the midst of the terrific strain of patriotic work, it would be hard for the study clubs to exist; but, realizing that tenee nerves are recuperated by change, we felt like encouraging them to keep up their organization and to feel that it is their mission to furnish a reviving diversity to thought, from the stern realities which surround us. VVe persuaded the State University and the Oregon Agricultural College to outline courses in the analysis and structure of the Short Story, the State Universiy generously furni9hinsg cop ies of their outline to send to every . lub in the state. The one from the ! O. A. C. arrived after the annual I letter had started to the clubs, and i was mentioned in the club sections of i the state papers. i We prepared an outline on the sub-1 jeet of Americanization, taken largely! from material which can be obtained ! rom the government, which was pub lished in the first Federation Bulletin sent out by the State Board. We are in receipt of a leaflet from the University of North Carolina vhich outlines a series of studies on the historical back ground, and the literature of the great war. This is a .most excellent course of study for hose who have time for deliberate bought, and can be obtained from Mrs. Thos. W. Lingle, Division for A'omen, Bureau of Extension, Chapel Hill, N. C. The price of enrollment fs 25 cents, ,vhich includes the leaflet containing the outline, and the privilege of bor rowing books. The most of the books, however, can be obtained from our own state and city libraries. Department of Music Just now community life is needing our utmost and undivided attention. The word commnuity is derived from a word which bears the signifieauce of serving together. In no way are people drawn more closely together in a friendly way than through the community sing. VVe feel the crying need for fellow sympathy, courage and service, now that our homes and hearts are being made so desolate by the terrible strife for freedom's sake. Woman s life, if properly applied to he home, means service and sacrifice even under the most favorable circumstances. bo to serve serve together ; this is the fundamental principle upon which home is based, making possible its dominant position. The establishment of a home is a pledge that there will be maintained the verities of life 1 U'hipVi malfQ Trtcathla anpinl intorpmi ra So, as club women, with opportuni ties knocking at our very doors in our respective communities, let us make music a strong factor in bringing cour age, inspiration and hope to America in the present crisis by having music of some kind in the home. See to it that your schools have good music by way of chorus singing, as well as conv munity sings, laying special stress up onAmerican music. In New York city the people get together for community sings winter and summer, indoors and out, in public halls and parks, for the joy of singing and what singing can do to a worker and inspire the community spirit. Let us do our part in Oregon to help bring about a singing America The music department of the Gen eral Federation makes the following suggestions : that each club appoint a music committee, each member of which should have charge of one of the dif ferent educational phases of music public school, municipal and commun ity music. By making a survey of the musical resources of the town and making reports to the chairman. By allowing musicians as well as Political Science To the President, Officers and Mem bers of the Oregon Federation of Womens Clubs : The chairman of your committee on Political Science begs leave to submit the following report for the year 1917-8 to date : In the past year many applications have been made for suggestions and outlined programs along work sug gested by your Political Science com mittee. These requests were not confined to Oregon only, but were from different states showing an interest along differ ent topics suggested for last year's work. Your committee feels much encouraged at the interest shown and strives to use only the most practical subjects in outlining their work. Sub jects that every woman should be con versant with. These are times when time is money and hours for recreation and study are short. Your committee has taken all these things into consid eration and has worked to that end. Upon conferring with other members of the committee shortly after the con vention last fall it seemed advisable to use for the coming year's work topics on political science that were the most practical and helpful. Subjects were chosen that could be used as round table talks and discussions. A leader would be preferred for each subject who would be interested in this line of work, making herself com petent to lead in subjects suggested. It is recommended these questions be used in connection with the usual course of club study, at the close of programs if so desired, or for a short study club program. It is also recommended that topics be discussed only after careful re search so that accurate and detailed information is obtained by all partici pating, particularly the leader of round table. In these strenuous times subjects have been chosen of importance to women, more particularly, topics women should be well informed in. Some of the subjects are : "Our Registration Laws," 20 ques tions attached. Our Alien Laws," 20 questions attached. "Our Woman's Rights," with ques tions. "The Ballot", with questions. "Conventions," with questions. All thinking women are striving toward one goal, higher standard of womanhood and good citizenship. It is necessary for every woman today to play an intelligent part in meeting the needs of our government during the period of the war. The standards by which success in life is measured is service to the social whole. "From the small days of the Liter ary club to the great days of the mod ern Woman's club whose watchword is service and whose usefulness is bounded only by the limit of human experience, is a great striae. Let us show that women know how to use the ballot intelligently. ttudy every issue, keep posted. This every woman may do if she will but use her spare moments intelli gently. Your committe on political science is striving to help along these lines. Help us and we will help you. Respectfully submitted, C. H. Knickerbocker, Chairman. Mrs. Report of Press Committee A realization of the needs of the Press Committee should be brought home to each individual club. The gathering of suitable material for the articles written has been rather difh- cult. A large amount of the work done by individual clubs would be of general interest to club women at large. For instance, new ways of do ing things, methods that have suc ceeded in patriotic work, in fact any distincitive feature of the club. If such gleanings were sent in to the Press Committee ever club in the state would be benefited, as well as a better showing made for the work done dur ing the year. The Press Committee has sent arti cles dealing with different phases of club work to the General Federation Magazine and to The New West, which edits a department of intere.it to west ern club women.
