Tha following letter from tho presi dent of tbo gonoral fodoration was re ceived a fow days ago by tho president of tho Woman's club of Lincoln.

"Tho federation has become a vital part of tho great historical movement of this country, and the work it has ac complished for tho cause of education has made a pormanent impression which will gather force as it continues. "In tbo light of recent events notice ably tho discharging of all women om ployed in tho servico of a groat railway system in tho west, and the attitudo of labor unions toward wage-earning womon wo must plainly boo that tho time has como for united action among womon for women. "A groat struggle is going on in the labor world, and tho working women must play for her part in all its phases, and bear tho burden of tho result equally with tho mon. "As an organization the gonoral feder ation is a poworful weapon to be wielded in behalf or this helplea3 and dependent claBS, but in order to work effectively wo must Btudy conditions, ecoIc to know what is needed, and-then strive to be come helpful in discovering and apply ing the romoJy for the wrong.

Stoutenborough, ex preeident of the state federation, needs no explanation: I have just reread your article on Mr. Bok in The Courier. It is excellent, full of meat and good wholesome truth. As I sometimes appear on the platform possibly a word from mo might be out of place. One thing I do know, my home is not noglocted nor its inmates, and rooms are not left in disorder. If Mr. Bok had heard the so called "plat form women" in the Denver meeting he would never havo written that article in the January number or Ladies' Home Journal aud it is with pleasure I recall tho names of these queenly women who appeared on our program at Omaha October 11,12 and 13, some of them from abroad, but Nebraska had reason to feel proud of her own, as she may be of the fact, so far as I knew, a Nebraska woman 1b the first to arraign Mr. Bok for hisunjuBtarticlg. Come out to Nebraska, Mr. Bok, breathe the good wholesome air that sweeps ovor our prairies and you will get a broader vision of things in general and then breathe this spirit into your editorials. Tho following paper was read by Mrs. rhomos Murty.of Weeping Water.be Tore the association of women's clubs which met in Lincoln during the week of tho Stato Teachers' association: If the United States woro not in need of good citizens there would bo no need of our public schools, but citizenship in this great land means all that is truest and best in tho word. Citizenship here means moro than itdoSsh, other coun tries and it is largely owing to our grand pubic school system. All honor to the pub he schools and tho teachers in the public school of America, for as the teacher is.so must bo the public schools. The very first education given the baby teaches him that he must keep out of tho way of others and that his wishes arosubord nato to tho will of others. This is the earliest le.son in good citizenship. From his ie , evolved self-respect and re- S n f iB fe,,0W8' hl8 y d h.B God, that is, if these things are nh.lt ? throuB"ut hiwho e childhood.
