THE COURIER.
. bow able has been her administration of
thia' new federation, which within
ix months time has acquired favorable
recognition. Mrs. Lowe writes: "We
had a charming day, most enthusiastic,
and the federation is doing a wondorful
work. We have the confidence of both
the people and the press."
Mrs. Park, who is the chairman of the
Educational committee of the Georgia
Federation, is a member of the Educa
tional committee of tho General Feder
ation, and has aroused the greatest en
thusiasmin the educational condition of
the state. One of the notable features
of the Georgia Federation is the fact
that all the officers are not only bright
women, but they are also leading society
women. Mrs. Lowe, the president, has
been a leader in Atlanta society for many
years, and her house is not only the
canter of club activities, but also of
social gayeties; Mrs. Park is a very
beautiful woman, and in also a social
leader; Mrs. John K. Ottley is one of the
society leaders of Atlanta, and all
through the south the society women
are coming to the front in the club move
ment, and this insurea Bucces3, as in all
their communities the leaders are popu
lar; not only through their intellectual,
but also through their facial attain
ments; and certainly in the southern
clubs, it has been abundantly proven
that the society woman is a9 efficient as
the woman who has passed her entire
ife either in study or philanthropy.
These women have thrown themselves
with an earnest enthusiasm into the fed
eration work, and have by their lack of
personal ambition distinguished them
selves and won the confidence of southern
women.
Mrs. Lowe, in her address, defined
tho position of southern women, and
contrasting the Literary Study class of
the past with the Federated Club of to
day, she said, "the province of the club
formerly was to bring together the cul
tured and refined women of one city
and to mingle with that atmosphere of
social life the most pleasant lines of
study. To be exclusive was also one of,
the foundation stones of this structure.
This club of tbo past has cot cared for
the numbers of women whose circum
stances have been such that the social'
world has not come to them, and since'
they were not able to take a place in the
ranks of the fashionable club, they could
only look on from the outside to the
glittering world within and sigh for tho
diversion it would bring into their lives;
and that most prominent in the minds of
the club women of the past was "per
sonal culture."
The Federation of Women's GInbs has
changed this unnatural order of things,
and at its first stroke levelled all artifi
cial racial lines. It has changed the at
titudo of the womon of leisure and
wealth toward the self supporting wo
man, and his proven that wagn-earning
does not hinder culture, and has taught
women that such narrow-minded culture
is theabuso of luxury, which dwarfs the
the soul'and crowds out the love proper
the love for oae's fellow men.
Mrs. Lowe finished her address by
saying the aims and purposes of the
southern women are the same as those
of the eastern and of the western woman,
and that the federation of clubs through
its reciprocity bureau, which brings all
books of all the clubs to each other,
proves that the club idea everywhere is
the same from the Pioneer club. Eng
land, whose emblem is a silver axe slash
ing right and left, to the smallest, club
in the far west. "In each and every
section woman Is grasping the situ
ation." "Mrs. Lowo says, "that the southern
wompn stand between the extremes of
the conservative ard the radical clubs."
Mrs. Lowe states as her opinion that "to
the women of the couth will come the
sacred duty of -welding together tho
wom'.'n of the extremely conservative
parts of the country with those in which
women take a radical position, and that
the Federation will then present a well
poised, determined body of women, well
equipped and ready to wage success
fully the battle for the progress of hu
manity." Nothing argues better for the
new south, of which Atlanta is perhaps
the vanguard, than the band of brilliant
women which are coming to the front of
the women's movement through the for
' mation of the State Federations, and if
these federations keep up with the pace
which Georgia has inaugurated the edu
cational and social conditions of that
section of the country will receive such
an impetus that it will soon stand head
and front with the most prosperous
states of tho union. Southern women
have always been deeply interested in
politics, and they have a natural apti
tude for the consideration of political
questions, an exact knowledge of the po
litical situation which northern women
never possessed. Ihis arises from tho
'act that tho great families of the Fcuth
have all been in politic?, whi!o it has
been tho exception in the north rathor
than the rule. '
When southpru women once tako hold
of the intellectual and political status of
their dtate, they will accomplish exactly
what they wish to do, because they will
not be obliged to stop and learn about
these conditions. They know them al
ready. By Helen 21. Jlenrotin in the
New York Journal.
Some writer in the New York Sun is
evidently acquainted with Nebraska
women for under this caption he writes
of them as follows:
The majority of farm era' daughters
teach Bchool at a salary at from $18 to
930 per month, and, after deducting
enough for board and clothes, they
save money t pay their way at 6ome
good school or college for a term or
more, and then teach again. Their
fathers never think it necessary to
mortgage the farm in order to send the
girls to school, as some fathers do for
their sons.
Some girls learn all thero is to be
learned at district schools, and then, in
stead of going to college, they invest all
the money they can spare in cows or
calves, which they hire kept. This is
usually a good iivestmont, as cattle can
b9 sold at almost any time.
toung women, as woll as young men,
see the importance of obtaining land
and making homes for themselves,
therefore they take aivantago of Undo
Sam's generosity and get as much land
as the law will permit, which U 320 acres,
a homestead and timber claim, ICO acres
to each.
The averaga female homesteader is
busino3slike and not afraid to do any
work that falls to her lot. She can help
mow and stack hay, is a good housekeep
er, can milk cows and harness a team as
easily as her brothers, and 1 have known
a few girls who have built the shan
ties on their homesteads. These shan
ties, you must understand, are cheap,
easily constructed houses of a primitive
pattern, and usually called a "claim
holder." When a girl of this kind marries she
generally considers herself as capable of
managing her property as she was be
fore she married, and for this reason
she does not make as desirable a wife as
one who is not quite bj strong minded
and doea not know a bad bargain from
a good one.
If a girl who has a homestead marries
a man who has not, the law says she
may keep the land and perfect the
title in her own name.
In Nebraska it is supposed that
woman has evoluted far enough out of
the state of imbecility to be allowed to
vote on all questions relating to tho
public schools, providing she has taxable
property or children of a school age
She can also be elected to any school
office.
