A review of the State institutions was given, a detailed account of the type of work of each, and the hun dreds all over North Carolina who were clamoring to be admitted, and of the great lack of room in these institutions to meet the needs of the state. She appealed to the club members,' especially to the mothers, to seriously consider the unfortunate children of our state, who from lack of proper appropriation were denied admittance to institutions in which they should be placed, and urged each one te use very bit of her influence in creating a public sentiment so strong that .the demanded amount be appropriated. She spoke of the welfare work in the state, in Haywood' county, and urged the women to support -to every possible way the work being lone by Mr. Allison and to present to the representative and the county com missioners the wonderful things to be accomplished by this means. j She explained the organization of the Legislative Council Of Wjomen, which is composed of the president and legislative chairman of the fol lowing: State Federation of Women's Clubs, W.

Then she spoke of the woman's responsibility regarding the amusements of youth, that when we condemn we must furn ish other forms- of entertainment.
