Model Club for Practical Work in Decatur
At the fifth district meeting of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs in Decatur on May 15, the Decatur Woman's Club report details a productive year across committees: Kindergarten education civics and social service. The kindergarten cared for 32 children with a trained teacher and an Atlanta school assistant whose scholarship was funded by the club. Over $500 in current expenses were covered by nominal monthly fees and local subscriptions to support the new public school addition next fall. The club room hosted meetings and events. Notable talks by Ms Barnwell on kindergarten training and Dr Susan Battenfield on Home Sanitation enriched the program. The public library program in the school system totals over 1,000 volumes with 250 members. Domestic science covered household economics, while the civic section collaborated with the board of trade to beautify Decatur. The Junior Civic League, started in December by Mregiumsden of Atlanta, grew into the largest junior league, engaging over fifty children in town improvement and civic projects with small awards to motivate. The social service section studied physiology and hosted a program on Crime Punishment by J C Logan of the Associated Charities. The club’s leadership attended conventions in Bainbridge and San Francisco, with representatives sharing enthusiasm and plans.
