WOMAN'S BULLETIN
URGES LITERATURE
A bulletin just issued by Mrs. Chas.
H. 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?

F Davidson,

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."

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

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.

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.
