In the broadening process, might not the tendem-v be toward the shallow, consequently the inefficient? "e frequently hear nowadays that in the T'nited Slates there are 2,000.- 000 women organized In club work. Can you conceive of the power and influence in the advancement of humanity hu-manity along every possible line of endeavor such an organization is capable cap-able of exerting? There is onlv one tiling that might effect the strength and scope of this organization, and lhat would be the lack of efficiency of the individual club. So It seema the logical tiling for us todav is to scrutinize our own club for flaw or defect we might remedy, or for increase in-crease in scope we might attain, for we are one of the artertps which contribute to this gerat dub body. Club Proves Its Own Efficiency. The Ladies Literary club has proved its efficiency in the past or we could not have attained the age, the growth, the influence we have attained: but our past achievements should only instill confidence and act as the best of inspirations "the Inspiration In-spiration of things to do and things undone the inspiration of big tasks." It was such an inspiration that caused us to undertake the building ot our new clubhouse and this is the inspiration we must foster to meet the balance that Is due upon It. I would not mar the happiness of this day by talking debt to you, yet 1 would like to impress you with the thought that it Is your responsibility responsi-bility and yours and mine and that "efficiency "is something more than organization ; it goes to the extent of lifting the ideal of a service above every personal interest." Service that is the word that Is the thing that is going to free us of our club debt. What service are you going to render your club this year tiiat will help reduce this incumbrance? in-cumbrance? There Is not a member but who could do something toward this end. This does not mean that you need give money. Probably you are rich in ideas that could be used to advantage. ad-vantage. Maj-be you have Influence that could help; possibly you have ability, time or strength not In demand. de-mand. Put them at the disposal of the club! There is that friend or neighbor who might be so helpful in some of our eight study departments, or onc of these departments might help her along a line of study she has wanted to pursue. Should Proselyte for Membership. If you have such a friend, ask her, to join the club, then write the board of directors stating that you personally per-sonally know this woman and believe she will be a valuable acquisition to the club. We need her for the help she may be to us and she needs us for our" help; ' and, friends, let us he frank with ourselves. Does not the greatest means of reducing this obligation obli-gation lie In the problem of the "irresistible "irre-sistible force" of dub membership reducing re-ducing the "immovable body" of club indebtedness? I should like to impress this upon you- until ft would be a matter of conscience that no member resign while this obligation stands: a matter of conscience that no member withhold with-hold one dollar of her dues one day-after day-after they are due ; a matter of conscience that each member attend the business meetings and make herself her-self thoroughly acquainted with the financial management. You cannot he Interested in what you do not understand, under-stand, and you cannot understand the business methods and conditions If you do not hear them presented. These things are. vital to our efficiency effi-ciency as a club and as individual members, and the day is fast passing when even the most literary woman takes no interest in business or business busi-ness management, whether ft be in the household or in her club, and business busi-ness knowledge and business sense are things the present-day woman takes pride In possessing. Help Is Extended in Worthy Causes. Our club Is sometimes criticized and we are considered selfish because we seem to work for our own interests rather than for the general good. There was a time when this was met by the explanation that this club was organized as a cultural club, as our name would indicate; hut that has ceased ir he a reason, for the difference differ-ence in time and conditions makes a diference in the demands upon us anil a chili of this size that is purely for self-culture Is a rare thing nowadays. But while doing no active work along civic and philanthropic lines, we aid such work by contributing In a monetary way to local organizations, and hope to do more as we are better bet-ter equipped financially, and then we have a paid membership in the national na-tional child labor committee and the Society for the Prevention of Infant Mortality, and ate glad to help the cause of humanity wherever It Is possible. pos-sible. Yet we have no section nor do we make any organized effort to help this cause. It has often been said that manv Individual members of this club are working along various lines of philanthropic phil-anthropic work in other organizations, and, while this is true, the converse is also true, lhat many of our members are not actively Interested in such work. and. to my mind, there seems to be no reason why we should not assume our responsibility in a broader broad-er way. along the lines of human betterment. bet-terment. General Evil Is Constantly Opposed. If a club such as ours were to concentrate con-centrate on some one of the thousands thou-sands of human needs and endeavor to lighten the burden of someone less fortunate than ourselves, would not such work be quite consistent with our high ideals along other channels? Someone has sa id, in speaking of women's organizations; "As we begin to know ourselves collectively, we are beginning to know scientifically as well as ethically that poverty, disease, dis-ease, war. tyranny and immorality are Our individual concerns." We have in our hands the weapon with which to combat many of the wrongs about us, which other women are struggling and working to attain, and feel that they will utilize ff it Is ever within their grasp. Ts It possible that It came to us with so little effort that we do not appreciate its value? Or is It that we are not awake to the power for good it can be made If we use it with that determination? Jane Ad-darns, Ad-darns, for whose personality and humanitarian hu-manitarian work we feel such regard and appreciation, has recently said: "Tf woman would fill her traditional responsibility to her own children; If she would educate and protect from danger unfortunate children who must find their recreation on the street : If she would bring the cultural forces to bear upon our materialistic civilization; civili-zation; and If she would do it all with the dignity and directness fitting to one who carrips on her immemorial duiies, then she must hring herself to the use of the ballot that latest implement im-plement of self-government. May we not fairly say that American women need this implement in order to preserve pre-serve the home?" Affiliations Are Most Desirable. As individuals we came into the club largely for the affiliation, and we should do this; for this is much of the pleasure of belonging to a club. The most wonderful hook In the world is the Book of Life, the pages of which are the people about us. There is knowledge. some helpful suggestion, the saving sense of humor, hu-mor, sympathy, optimism, charity or strength to be gained from each page. Can we study the book too thoroughly? thorough-ly? And yet we did not become club members for this alone, for we believe be-lieve in the old Hindu proverb which says: "They who give, have all things; they who withhold, have nothing." noth-ing." Let us he contributors as well as absorbers. This year the board of directors has created a new committee, which we feel Is a need of the club, owing to Its large and rapid growth. The name of this committee well describes its duties; and at every club meeting you will be met by some of the members of the hospitality and efficiency com- ' mlttee. They will wear badges so that you may know them; they are here to answer an-swer any question pertaining to club matters, help you choose a Bection with whicti to identify yourself, if you would like to have them, give information infor-mation about your club dues, tell you that your membership card must he presented at the door at regular club meetings, explain about your guest card or anything at all about which you are in doubt.' Democratic Spirit Is Help to Members. Then we want to become acqualni-ed acqualni-ed with you and help you to meet others, for we believe that the most efficient club is the one that shows the most democratic spirit; and while some may feel that that word Is overworked over-worked these days, yet I believe that I (Continued on Page Five.)

There are much larger clubs in this pari of the country than ours; there are much wealthier ones, but there Is none thst gives better literary and musics 1 programmes than are given right here In our own little club. Let us show our appreciation by our attendance. at-tendance. Let us make this a hahlt this year that wilt be a part of that much-talked -of and most necessary quail' club conscience. Not only would I mention our splendid splen-did programme and programme committee, com-mittee, but each of the other committees com-mittees as well. Tn asking these women to serve It was the greatest encouragement to have them respond with such willingness snd enthusiasm, enthusi-asm, and several of the committees have been working during the summer. sum-mer. The finance committee has been ' helping In the collection of dues, and expects to assist our greatly burdened treasury during the year. The entertainment enter-tainment committee Is a most promising prom-ising one and has held sufficient meetings meet-ings to have some Interesting plans ready to present. Then you have evidence around you of wliat the house committee has been doing, for all of the walls with the exception of this room have been re tin ted. The hospitality and efficiency effi-ciency committee has met and made many plans, and the other -ommltteea are anxiously waiting to jump into the harness of club work. Each section sec-tion programme Is so attractive that no matter to which section you may belong you wish that you might have joined a few more. Is this not a most encouraging outlook? out-look?
