| CLUBWOMEN OF THE NATION | Prominent Women to Attend Biennial Conference of World Federation of Education Associations—Mrs. Thomas G. Winter Speaks on International Relations—Other Notes. 5 BY CORINNE FRAZIER. ANY women prominent in club work in America as well as abroad will attend the biennial conference of the World Federation of Educa- tion Assoclations, to be held in To- ronto, Canada, August 7 to 13. Five members of the Women's Joint Congressional Committee will be among the delegate body, numbering 5,000 Miss Charl O. Willilams of Washington, D. C.. representing the National Education Assoclation, is one of the five legislative representa- tives of prominence to attend. The others include Mrs. Florence E. Wat- kins, executive secretary of the tional Congress of Parents and Tea ers; Miss Selma Borchardt of the American Federation of Teachers, Mrs. Raymond Morgan of the Ameri- can Association of University Women @ll of these from Washington) and Miss Lucy P. Carner of New York, representing the Young Women's Christian Association. To a Washington woman has been accorded the distinction of being ap- pointed as charman of one of the 26 departments into which the federa- tion 1is divided. Miss Borchardt, one of the five leg- islative representatives named, will be in charge of the department or sec- tion of social adjustment, which deals with the relation of the school to the community. Her program will in- clude a large number of woman speak- ers, representing various countries, In- ctuding China, Scotland, America, In- dia and Canada. One of the most important features of the conference will be the discus- sion of the Herman-Jordan plan of education, which will include reports from committees on education and peace; teaching of history; special ar- rangements for training youth in world amity; military training and military preparedness and the study of methods and instruments used to settle international disputes without resorting to war. Prominent women will serve on these committees, including Mrs. Car- rie Chapman Catt, Miss Esther Lape of the American Peace Foundation, Mrs. A. H. Reeve, president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers; Judge Florence Allen of Co- + lumbus, Ohio; Mrs. Mary C. Bradford, State superintendent of schools in Colorado; Madame Dreyfus-Borney of Paris, representing the International Council of Women, and Miss Bessie L. Plerce of the State University of Jowa, one of the outstanding histo- rians of the country. The work of each of the Herman- Jurdan committees has an interna- tional slant, stressing the value of wvarfous branches of education as a means of furthering world peace. The special mission of the commit- tee on education for peace is to har- monize or unify the efforts of man- kind to the ultimate good of all. The committee on the teaching of history will report the results of a careful study of histories and text books the world over, and an analysis of their virtues and their faults from the standpoint of international amity. Considerable interest is expected to center around the deliberations of this committee, as there has been much agitation recently on the subject of biased histories and the unnecessary enmity aroused between nations in the past by prejudiced accounts of im- portant historic events. ‘The value of international athletic sports, international civics, school cor- respondence and oratorical essay con- jolc———Jolc———[alc———|a|]o]——=|a|c———=| 0| ———]~] Phillip Levy Co., 735 Seventh Street Before You Buy Furniture See Phillip Levy Co.

Members of the General Federation of Women's Clubs will watch with par- ticular interest the reports of the world-wide Illiteracy Commission, of vhich Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart of Washington is chairman. The Gen- eral Federation has been carrying on a campaign against illiteracy during the past year, and is keenly interested | in_any discussion of the subject. Posters on the subject of illiteracy are desired by the Federation of Edu- cation Associations, to be used at the conference, and an award of $50 has been offered for the best poster sub- mitted. No restrictions are placed upon the form, size and character of the posters. They will be judged pri- marily upon their originality. Posters are to be gent to the Cana- dian committee of the federation, Sim- ooe Hall, Toronto, Canada, labeled for the {lliteracy division. B RS. THOMAS G. WINTER of Minneapolis, former president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and later chairman of the inter- national relations department, in a recent address before the general coun- cil of the federation, made a strong appeal to the women to recognize their responsibility in the promotion of | ternational amity. Mrs. Winter said: “It anything ought to be done, it is never done until it is done. There is no obsolete question of the World Court; there is no obsolete question of anything that is going to substitute law and statesmanship for war. We have that to do. “Suppose the suffragists had said of their issure, ‘It is a controversial question,’ and backed down? They worked for 80 years, defeated again and again. Suppose the temperance people - had backed down when de- ed. Where would we be? Now, I think that every once in a while there is an electric time in his- tory, a time when a great new mov ment comes into being, a great new time of applied religion, and the next step in religion, as applied to life for the whole world, is how we shall live together—we, of all peoples—with ju; tice and honor and with the possibil- ity of every race and every individual developing the best that is in him ‘without fear. “If anything of that kind comes be- fore us, it is the next step. The last great step in applied religion was the step which brought democracy before the nations. The next great step is this of applied religion to the whole ‘world, democracy for the whole world. And do not think for an instant that our interest in this kind of relation with other people means any diminu- tlon of our great love and our great devotion to our own country. The better Americans we are, the more fair we shall be to every one else; the better home women we are, the more we care for our community and our Nation; the better nationalists we are, the better citizens, the more we are going to care; and the same ideal that we love for our own children and our own home shall be spread over the whole world. Can it die out? Can you conceive of such a body as ours giving this up? “To my mind, one of the dramatic little things that happened lately is mighty significant. Perhaps you no- ticed when those French pilots were in the air coming to this country that that professional humorist and wise man, Will Rogers, had a little item in on your furniture bill. add to the pleasure of buying here.

Of course, we invented the airplane, bnt did you think it was enough to invent it and never do any- thing with it? He said that the rest of the nations of the earth may not be as clever as we are in earning money, but they know where the next war will be fought—in the a “And, then, in the airplane, a young American, a simple, clean boy, who does not drink and who does not smoke and who came from the middle class, slipped over there and we forgot | the airplane was an engine of war | and we remembered it as a great | engine of international understanding. No single event which demonstrated the linking of nations together made such an impression as what one boy did when he flew across the At- lantic. “Now, every tool that we use, every- thing that we women control, in our homes, in our education, in our citi- zenship, in our public health, has its direct relation to our relation to other nations. Mr. Gordon illustrated it when he said that the temperance question in Australia depended on what we did in Ameri What we do in America in public health; what we do in America, in making the home not only a well trained home, but an ideal home; what we do in our schools to teach the truth and mobility of andards of America; what we do in single thing that we clubwomen are interested in, has its relation to this great problem, the mext great religious step of the world, and it is not done until it is done. Do not let the devil get on the job and create a war. “Let us know that no nation can have peace unto itself alone. It does not make any difference how much we hate war; we have always hated it. It does not make any difference how much we shrink from our sons going into it; any band of crazy men on the face of the earth may precipi- tate another great world catastrophe, unless every soul who believes in eco nomic justice, in physical justice, in high spritual ideas is on the job. ‘Now, wh: are we going to do bout it? What are we going to do this next yvear? Do you think that every question that becomes contro- versial is dead? You do not think so about other things—child labor, tem- perance, anything else. What sug- gestion have you for the thing we need to do most, the thing we need to do best, to make it easy to take the next great step in applied re. ligion and the responsibility of America?” Following up the visit to Black Hills which resulted in an assurance from President Coolidge that he would not oppose the equal rights amendment to the Federal Constitu- tion when it was apparent that the majority of the women of the country desired it, officials of the National Woman's Party have sent letters to each State chairman urging them to call upon the various Senators and Representatives in their districts dur- ing the recess perfod asking their sup- port of the proposed amendment. A determined effort will be made to secure the passage of the bill in the next session of Congress. ——.
