Woman’s Clubs Enlist " Help of Junior Groups Train Younger Generation In Future Leadership _ And Ideals. / By RUTH MONTGOMERY, ‘Women's Club Editor. 3 of this sort is that it ‘gives the UNIOR sections and junior groups are being formed by many woman's clubs of the city to interest young women in club work and train them for the club leadership of the future. The advantage of a section younger women an opportunity to get acquainted with each other, form pleasant social contacts and at the same time, learn the rules of club procedure and get an idea of how the aims and ambitions of the senior clubs are carried forward. Philanthropy is one of the forms of club activity that seems to be most readily adapted to the needs of junior groups, and most of them have un- dertaken some form of this for local ‘Women's Clubs considers the forma-<+—— tion of junior groups within the senior clubs of such importance that a spe- cial department has been organized to foster this work all over the country. The American Foundation for the Blind is the national philanthropy with which all of these junors are co- operating. They are selling pictures of Helen Keller to help the fund along. The Chevy Chase Woman's Club has recently reorganized its junior sec- tion, the Twentieth Century Club has a group working for Goodwill Indus- tries and the Glendale Tuberculosis Hospital. The American Association of University Women, receiving into membership a continual influx of younger college graduates, has a group organized for social activities and for some serious study as well. The leader of the work with junior groups in the clubs belonging to the D. C. Federation, is Mrs. Byron Coon. A number of the member clubs spon- sor junior groups, notably the Marictta Park Club, which has two, of varying ages. The Takoma Park Junior Woman’s Club is the first with definite age limitations to be organized in the Dis- trict. This is composed of college girls, business girls and young married women between the ages of 16 and 30. It is under the direction of Mrs. John 'T. Lucker and meets once a month at the Jessup Blair Community House. Having been established for more than | 8 year it has sufficient standing for admission into the D. C. Federation of Women's Clubs, with which it is affiliated. Its purposes are both cul- tural and social. District of Columbia Federation of | Women's Clubs—The report of the| Committee on Ethical Education, pre- | ##nted by Mrs. C. H. Pierce, chairman, at the meeting of the federation last | Monday, stressed the fact that before further developments in character edu- cation can be successfully carried out | in the public schools of the District. it will be necessary to have increased fa- cilities for which is the basis of character educa- tion. Asserting that the District schools were understaffed and under- equipped, she asked clubrepresentatives to urge their organizations to support the budget being asked of Congress by the Board of Education and to discuss the problem with their clubs. Mrs. Pierce stated later she thought | States, | Congressthen from nearby whose constituents benefit by the fact that their children may attend the District schools without paying tuition, should be willing to support the re- quested budget. Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Bar- nard College, international president of the Federation of University Wom- en, was among the many distinguished ‘woman educators attending the coun- cil meeting of the A. A. U. W. last week at the clubhouse. She said that general conditions In Europe were unfavorable to educated ‘women and commented particularly on the plight of the Russian women in Paris, who, exiled at the time of the revolution, are now growing old and becoming unable to earn their own living. Although she sees no prospect of & re-establishing groups of educated women in Germany, she thinks there is some possibility of this taking place in Italy. She asked for the co- operation of the American university women in establishing organized groups of university women in the Latin-American countries.
