Importance than all the economic and financial questions that could be presented to us In behalf of or that consuming Importance I greet you today In celebration of ot the Athenaeums Athenaeum's birthday The Th very fact tact we are eulogizing this day coupled with thirty nine years of ot continued as association as- as association association proves that Athenaeum Ideals are an accepted success This success has been b n made possible not by one or a few tew but by the operation co-operation of the member member- membership membership membership ship as a whole No doubt the first leader learned that they only got out of ot club work Just what they were willing willingto to put into It So this lesson has been learned again and again by each roch corp cf leaders to take the reigns until to today to- to today today day It is an established fact I think away back on that eventful day of ot Feb Feb- February February February 22 22 1897 when that handful of ot gallant women with t foresight Into the future planned the organization of the Athenaeum they did so with the thought in mind that In the years to come their Organization Day could share honors with the man whose birthday anniversary anniversary anniversary sary we wo recognize and who has hns earned for himself tre tro title of Father of ot Our Country and whose character Is the best Inheritance of ot the American peo peo- With this two fold purpose In mind I ask Mrs Venable to offer otter a toast I ITo To this Day I As each year In the worlds world's advance ance advancement advancement ment brings upon mankind the ever In Increasing In- In Increasing Increasing creasing demands of social and economic progress Woman has felt with peculiar acuteness the necessity of taking her er place In civilization Not be master of all that has been her share In the tho worlds world's work In the past but she must also assume new requirements of society In the preparation for these new now civic and social duties women's have been largely Instrumental and the further education of ot keeping home-keeping wo wo- women women wo- wo women men today must be carried on by such such I organizations I Mrs Lavina Jackson will tell us how bow we have kept In step so to speak In her toast To Athenaeum Ideals I Just as every lasting organization must have ha Ideals for continued exis exis- existence existence existence tence they must also have new Ideas Mistakes we have undoubtedly made and errors we have ha committed So what con con- constitutes constitutes constitutes a new Idea and how bow to segre segre- segregate segregate gate the thc good from the Inferior will be told by Mrs Poulson In her toast To New Ideas Discounting the opinion that American Ameri Ameri- American can patriotism Is on the wane I In common with many state there Is some some- something some some-I something thing about America that warms the heart There are a thousand little con- con conveniences to make life Ufe easier and every every- everyone everyone everyone one has leisure The unique freedom be- be between classes apparently based upon mutual respect Is one of the most com com- comforting comforting forting signs of the true democracy of this country Naturally much Is said about social problems and new deals But these with all others can be met and bridged If it only we as citizens have faith Mrs l Anderson will tell us how this faith can be perpetuated by giving some thought To American Patriotism It Is surprising Indeed to realize that ultimately we are not so different as a nation from another Training and tra tra- tradition tradition may have cast us in dissimilar molds but the basic stuff of ot our hu hu- humanity hu- hu humanity manity is pathetically the same All An na na- nations nations na- na nations depend on one another for even the most simple phases of every day living Would It not then be to our advantage advant ge to concern ourselves In a greater great r degree to the activities of our neighboring nations To ripen our inborn appreciation of I what we receive from other countries and to further our understanding of ot their Mrs Stone will give a toast To This World We Live In Education Is considered the greatest Institution this country has Our schools and colleges are engaged in the task of ot storing the mind with facts This Is a splendid work worle But we need n d to go one step farther tart her we must teach men how bow to apply and develop and use this know know- ledge It Is not how much a man knows that makes him successful It Is Js what he thinks and docs does The educational problem pro pro- problem problem blem of ot the hour bour Is not one of better schools and larger public libraries it itIs itis is the practical development of ot the th it Is the awakening of ot the crea crea- creative creative creative tive powers of thought the birth of new Ideas It Is training men how to present and express them in such words and with such power pot that they shall carry conviction to the hearts of ot their fellowmen fellow fellow- men Mrs KImball will you respond To T Education I Ladies Ladles I consider it has been a plea plea- pleasant pleasant sant and profitable afternoon meeting as we have on a common ground and In I perfect accord And I shall never forget forge I that it is mainly owing to the earnest earns support of ot you all as friends and co co- coworkers co coworkers workers it has hns been so satisfyingly sue suc It Is my sincere wish we all meet again next year around the festive board to congratulate ourselves and pre pre- predecessors predecessors club on the success of ot our Mrs l enables Toast Madam President and Ladles Ladies I feel honored to have been asked to t propose a toast To This Day that com corn commemorates the Athenaeums Athenaeum's birth birth- birthday birthday day and George Washington's an an- I do not know that anything new can be said of ot either subject If It any lady present suspects or dreads dread that I am going to take her through the history of the Athenaeum or the life of George Washington I shall do myself myself self sel the honor and this Joyous gathering gathering ing the favor tavor of ot disappointing her What has past Is indeed Ind d past and while In each case a great heritage has been left and Is sincerely appreciated yet it Is very pleasant for tor us to sit here her today and admire the distant nt prospect and know our successors will date back the origin of their advanced social and economic conditions To this Day we celebrate So I will t wind up these somewhat dry speculations by proposing as a toast To the Athenaeum of ot the past to the Athenaeum of the present to the Athenaeum of ot the future To George Washington may his Immense ever to toone toone toone one of Americas America's greatest memories And To This Day may it be a sort of or a 3 guide post in the road of ot life Athenaeum Ideals Ideals Mrs Jackson Ideals are the standards of perfection beauty brouty and excellence to which the Athenaeum has hns put forth Its best ef efforts ef- ef efforts forts to bring uppermost In the minds of the citizens of or city state and na na- tion Throughout the years from 1897 to the th present year this club has never let its aim waver from these high standards and their goals when attained have been b n worth while As long as we set our goal high and never say it cant can't be done we shall accomplish with the help of each and every member good deeds which better the conditions of ot the community If these ideals are upheld we will all feel teel a certain satisfaction which gives courage to try new fields of ot work Old and new members of the Athen Athen- Athenaeum Athenaeum Athenaeum as you see these Ideals have been established not only by us gathered here today but by those who have ha gone from us us so we must not fall fail or let our Ideals become for tor then we would be falling not only ourselves but those who left this constructive work for us to carry on May our thoughts remain centered on these Ideals so 50 that will be worthy of the toast we give to them and the place and influence they have In the lives JIves of people everywhere May they live on and make make our lives complete and happy ones 1 New Ideas Ideas Mrs Poulson New Ideas put into action Is the
