Chowan County was beautifully dec orated for the occasion with ivy, i ferns and peach blossoms. The audi torium was filled to overflowing and standing room was at a premium. Each clubwoman registered as shej entered the courthouse so that an accurate account of those attending! from each club could be kept. The; loving cup for attendance, which' was won last year by the Fourteenth District, will be awarded the club with the best proportionate attend ance. Splendid reports were read from all clubs indicating much prog ress. In a gracious address of welcome Mrs. Charles Hollowell of Edenton characterized club work as vt "mass ive chain of united womanhood thati stretches from ocean to ocean." She was a pleasing speaker and on be-1 half of the city of Edenton bade the' visitors a cordial welcome. Miss Ethel Parker of Gatesville' spoke of the old and the new Eden ton, referring to those who took part' In the Edenton T? a Party u exem plifying the spirit that has remaln< d in the city until this day. She closed by giving to the wo-1 men of Edenton Lincoln's famous, toast. Committees appointed at the morning session were: Courtesy,' Mrs. Frank Scattergood of Elizabeth'" City, Mrs. G. E.

Bickett. all of Raleigh, were introduced by Mrs. Fearing, who then delivered the president's address. Mrs. Fearing said she was as proud of the district as the mother, of a baby cutting its first tooth. The meeting marks the completion of the first year of organized work, she said, and might be considered the celebration of the district's first, birthday. She spoke of the Cooper loving, cup for club attendance and also of the Gilmer gavel, which is offered for the largest number of new clubs.: This was won by the district in what Mrs. Fearing described as its first victory. The president had a word of praise for Eastern North Carolina. The "lost provinces." she declared, have certainly fount# themselves and are now a real part of the Old North State. The women have done their full share in developing the district, she said. "As we travel West In our State we are mor.e and more con vinced that the three wise men came from the East." Reports from the Woman's Club of Edenton. Hertford Welfare Club, Gatesville Woman's Club, and the: Woman's Club of Meege were next given. The latter is the three months old baby club of the district de-, scribed by its representative as j gresslve" and "progressive." This club has recently purchased a large flag from funds raised by a musical entertainment and a literary event. They have also planted trees and! shrubs In the school yard, beautified the town generally, and have money, in the bank. Mrs. T. B. Cook^ made a report' of the Parent-Teachers' Association of Elizabeth City In which she said that the association has spent $34 for books and $854 for milk and crackers for school children during the past year. Reports were al?o given by the clubs at Dry Ridge. Sa lem. and by the Elizabeth City Wo-1 man's Club. Mrs. Mary Cowper of Durham In * speaking of Juvenile court work, said that children are not criminals but results of their environment. She stressed the Importance of the appointment of probation officers In every community to act as a guide and friend to the child in trouble. Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson opened 4ier Interesting address with the statement that it hss been about seven years since North Carolina , took her place with the other pro gressive states by appointing a State II Hoard of Charities and Public Wel fare. "There Is no greater fallacy than ' that all uu'n are created equal," she | declared. "With 50.000 mental de-S fectlves in North Carolina, we can-j not claim to be a Christian State un- j til we provide necessary care for these dependent, delinquent and de-! fective persons." The MM BtHH reforms in the operation of State institutions, ac cording to the speaker, are those which will enable jails to release pri soners as better men or women than when they enter, which will provide for the mental and spiritual care of : the aged and proper care of mental i defectives. "But," she said, "it is far better' to build a fence at the top of the! cliff than to spend your life at the] bottom tying up wounds, which has been the State's task in the past. "When the State gets hold of a girl or boy, you have mad.? him what he is. It is the condition in the home, the church, the school and the community at large that is responsible for the criminal girl or boy and as long as conditions re main like they are these communi ties will continue to feed the State institutions. "The family is the foundation of civilization and it takes a mother to make a child blossom out iuto splen did manhood or womanhood," she declared. The speaker strongly recommend ed that the proper keepers be in charge of ail institutions and that women be given charge of keys to the cells of women prisoners. Mrs. T. W. Bickett of the depart ment of maternity and hygiene spoke on the - Relation of Mother and Child. She gave several illustrations of the beautiful relation and stressed the importance of health. Mothers owe their children a healthy body, she said. Mrs. Dlckett urged that the club women work for the pass age of laws to prohibit the feeble minded or diseased from marrying. She said it is up to the women to make effective the bill which pro vides a maternity nurse for each county. Mrs* Palmer Jerman congratulat ed the district on the large attend ance. She suggested that the dis trict meeting be moved from the spring to the fall. A wonderful movement of the feminine mind is sweeping over the country, she said, and women are waking up to take tlu ir proper place in affairs. The federation is the ave nue through which they work. Women should take active inter est In national and international questions, especially the passage of a uniform marriage and divorce law, she said. She predicted that inter national ptace will come through women. Several delightful musical num bers were given during the program. Mrs. J. W. Foreman of Elizabeth City sang "June Is In My Heart," and "Come Out in the Sweet Spring Night," accompanied by Mrs. M. Leigh Sheep. Miss Cornelia Jones gave a piano selection, "In the Woods." Mrs. J.
