Makes Nationwide Investigation in Campaign to Raise American Standard By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN klIK General Federation of Women's Clubs Is milking u survey of the American home. This Is one of those new things under the sun which the old saw says there Isn't. A survey has never been made by the federal census bureau or by any public or private agency. The General Federation Is making It ns a necessary part of its determined effort to raise the standard of the American home. For. to work with understanding and elllclency It must . know what are The existing conditions. Hence the survey, instituted by the Federations president, Mrs. John I). Sherman, and well under quesway In all parts of the country. The fllled-itionnaires will be tabulated at the Federations hendquarters In Washington. The findings will be published. Eventually the findings will be presented to congress, with the request that It authorize a similar survey as a part of the regular ' work of the census bureau. ofIn "America, with all that It represents hope the world, Is now and will he what you make It. . of of educaIts Institutions religious liberty, tion- and economic wpporjainlty, of constitutional most are the of of the law, Integrity rights, 'precious possessions of the human race. These do not emanate from the government. Their abiding place is with the people. They come from the consecration of the father, the love of the mother and the devotion of the children. They are the product of that honest, earnest and tireless effort that goes Into the rearing of the family altar and the making of the home of our country. This t riluUw. t tlw AmcricunTinme by President Coolldge in a recent public address emphasizes the fact that notwithstanding disquieting condicontinues to he a tions in the home To the honest, pilssion with good Americans. " and women who carry the nie burdens of the world the chance to own a home and rear a family Is a blessing from heaven. Here Is concrete proof. No class of financial Institution ' has developed faster in the last decade than the building and loan associations. There ure now In this country 11,84-- local associations, with a total of 8,554,352 and assets .' totaling membership $4,7G5, 937,11)7. Last year they built over 400,000 homes. The General Federation declares that this American home is In danger. It should know, for Ninety-tw. federated club women are per cent of American housewives do their own work. This means thnt a large percentage of the women In federated clubs perform practically all of the domestic duties which their home3 require. To these members home Is what It has been for generations womans first Interest. A creed for club women, written twenty-five- " years ago by Mrs. Robert J. Iturdette, sets forth that no club should Introduce Into its program any activity which does not spring. from the home and lead hack to the home. Today the federated club woman demands that her club life and her home ' life be correlated. Mrs. Sherman was elected president at the 1924 tiennlal convention at Los Angeles. She immediately established the Department of the American Home. Mrs. Maggie W. Harry -- of Texns Is chairman. Mrs. Sherman has" this to say about the new department, the home and the. survey: . The home has always been the center of the club woman's Interest, no matter how many and how farflung her other activities. So the establishment of the new Department of the Home did not create a new activity among club women. But It did constitute a declaration by the federated club g women of their continued belief that " Is the most Important industry of the nation and that the home tn Its present hour of need Is a national concern. For the American home is in real danger. We can no longer shut our eyes to the fact. The situation is increasingly bad. Because of the manifold blessings enjoyed by the American people the American home should be world's standard. It should be the outward and visible sign of the Inward and spiritual grace of family life. That grace we seem largely to have lost. The causes? Probably many In combination. Prosperity tries souls that withstand adversity. Social science has not kept up with the natural sciences. One outstanding cause seems to be an undeniable Ignorance on the part of both men and women of The older generation the art of makes charges against the younger generation.

I am sure that some of the Government agencies will be able to give some substantial assistance, and assume that you will afford them the opportunity. From what you have said I .. gather that the program is of a practical character, and I hope may be productive of .. much good to the women who have to con- duct the affairs of American" homes.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Office of the Secretary g hard-working- home-makin- Secretary Hoovei- - Washington, May 8, 1925. Dear Mrs. Sherman: I am much interested to hear of your proposed national survey of home equipment. The home ij the family workshop. Its equipment and organization are an index of its efficiency. As our most important copservation problem is the conservation of human energies, a general study of the equipment of the home for reduction of needless effort should liave much usefulness. It should also lead to an increase in the amount of time which the women of the country may devote to the development of the finest type of family life and to civic improvement. Your project, therefore, is highly commendable and should bring re- suits of importance. Yours faithfully, HERBERT HOOVER. i -- I H 14 ji In does the lie where And but fault other. the home? It looks as If both generations-mus- t learn aill over again the real meaning of home life. So we are focusing our many Federation activities upon the new Home Department. Its program covers a wide range of subjects: from the physical wellbeing of the family to Its moral and spiritual development; from the material structure and equipment to the atmosphere inside of the house, which I call the soul of the horpe; from the financial business of running the- house to the education In fundamental religion, character-buildin- g and the arttstlq.vaJues of art, musto and literature. Also we are going to show the vital relation of the thing called ''politics to the health, safety and education of the children In the home The club for woman, once frankly cultural, has developed with the times and has adjusted Itself to the home and community Interests of Its members. It must help her to meet 1925 responsibilities .and to solve 1925 problems. And this the new Department of the American Home Is designed to do. Our survey of home equipment should give valuable results. Modern equipment means Increased elllclency In housekeeping and that. In turn, means g the saving of ttme and strength for g and other activities. Is, of course, more than hosuekeeplng, yet successful housekeeping Is a vital factor In tt. Are our housekeeping equipment and methods the best that are available to us? Or are we wasting ttme and labor and exhausting nervous and mental energies? Ellen Richards has coined a word euthenlcs." She defines It as "the betterment of living conditions through conscious endeavor, for the purpose of securing more efficient human beings. We must have due regard for euthenlcs If tomorrow's America Is to be a nation of better homes. "1 1 1 - home-makin- Home-makin- The General Federation does not expect, of course, to make a complete survey of the more than 25,000,000 homes, ltut It expects to get data which the census bureau does not obtain. The bureau asks about the Implements in the farmers barn, but has no Interest In whether the farmers wife has water and drainage in her home. The business of being a housewife and bringing np a family Is not a gainful occupation, you see, so why should the federal government be concerned about the equipment of a person of no occupation? Mrs. Sherman in planning the survey outlined Its purpose and scope to Iresident Cootidge. He gave It his official approval, as is shown by Ills letter. The Iresident is strong for the home. He Is the chairman of the advisory council of Better Homes In America, of which Secretary Herbert Hoover is president of the board of directors. Secretary Hoover nlso gave Ills unqualified approval, as his letter shows. This approval Is significant, Inasmuch as the census, bureau of the Department of Commerce Is under his direction. - Ia planning its survey the General Federation invited the National Electric Light association to This noncommercial association welcomed the opportunity, Iresident Franklin T. Griffith saying, In this servantless age our Industry Is particularly interested because electricity is home life and social activity revolutionizing conveniences and betthrough electric labor-savinter lighting. At the forty-eightconvention of the association in San Francisco last month Mrs. Sherman was one of the speakers, with Secretary Hoover, Secretary of Agriculture Jardine and other nationally prominent men and women. The of the association assures the aid of electric power and light companies and of public service corporations handling gas, water, etc., In the making of the survey. Outline und questionnaire for the survey were drawn by the Industrial Survey and Research Service of Washington, D. C., Miss Marie L. Obenauer, director. The cost of the campaign Inaugurated by the Service will be borne by the Womans Home Companion, .which will publish the findings of the survey. The questionnaire Is sufficiently comprehensive to secure the information wanted by the General Federation. Here are the general classifications. Equipment of homes with water and sewer connections; garbage, trash and ash disposal; heating systems; equipment with gas; equipment with electricity; available household labor; equipment with telephone and educational and entertainment facilities; club study given to home equipment Completely filled In, the first classification, for example, will give the following Information: Number of family dwellings in community; number of family dwellings having Inside flush toilets and stationary wash basins, bath tubs, kitchen sinks and laundry tubs; payment for water on meter or fiat rate; water supply and sewage disposal, If no publie systems ; protection of drinking water. The General Federation of Womens Clubs had Its beginning In 1889, when Sorosls," a pioneer womans club of New York city, celebrated Its twenty-firs- t birthday. Ninety clubs responded to the Invitation of Its president, Mrs. Jennie C. Croly ("Jennie June). Julia Ward Howe headed a committee to prepare constitution and organization. The first biennial convention was held In clubs of Chicago In 1S92. In 1893 the forty-fiv- e Iowa federated and Joined. Other states followed and the Federation became a federation of federations. In 1901 congress granted the Federation a national charter. The Federation now has approximately 3,000,000 members. It Is nonpartisan and nonsectarian. It is undoubtedly the most power ful nonpolitical organization In the country. g h is hoped, be the nucleus for a permanent endowment, which eventually will make a set available to every veteran In a hospital. The fund was started by S. L. Rotha-ke- l, known to radio fans as Roxy, of broadcasting fame. While attending a radio show at Washington, D. C., in May, 1924, Mr. Rothakel visited veterans at Walter Reed hospital. He saw an opportunity to bring happiness to them by means of the radio. He enlisted the Interest of Mr. Judd In the project. Returning to New York, Mr. Rothakel Interested the Sun in the plan. A fund wns started.. Other newspapers Joined in. Nearly $200,000 was raised.. Nearly $125,000 was expended In purchasing equipment. It was finally decided to turn the fund over for further administration to the Legion. A check for the amount was presented to National Adjutant Russell Crevlston of the Legion recently. The ' fund will be administered through a board of trustees. National Commander James A. Drain of the Legion and National Treasurer Robert H. Tyndall ar. members of the board. Capt. John II. Cralge, aide to the commandant of the United States marine corps, who has taken a very active Interest in the fund, is a member. John Oliver Lagorce, editor of the National Geographic Magazine, and the Munsey Trust company of Washington are included. Robert F. Smith, managing editor of the American Legion Weekly, and Marquis James of the staff of the Weekly are members of the board. The American Legion Weekly will have a large part In the active control and management of the fund. oocxxxxxyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxj DIVA AIDS FUND k M' S C II U MAN N - HEINK. has singer, opera raised her voice in behalf of the American Legions $5,000,000 endowment fund for the disabled veterans and orphans of the Is world .war.
