EARLIEST OF WOMEN’S CLUBS
The Puritan Fathers Banished the
Founder of the First One in
th* Year 1634.
Tracing the beginnings of wom
en’s clubs has given pleasant occu
pation to research workers, and there
has been speculation and discussion
as to which is the oldest club and
who was the pioneer clubwoman in
America.
Mrs. Philip N. Moore, writing in
the General Federation Magazine,
gives an interesting sketch in this
connection when she states: “Anne
Bradstreet, wife of the governor of
the Puritan colony, who came here
in 1634, instigated a club that dis
cussed polemics and religious ques
tions. The Puritan fathers disap
proved and banished the rounder.
In 1818 Hannah Adam8 started a
literary club in Boston. In 1848 the
Ladies’ Physiological institute dis
cussed laws of life and health. Mrs.
Lucinda Stone, in 1852, originated
the Ladies’ Library association, in
which she remained interested for
fifty years. As early as 1858 there
were Minerva clubs. But it was not
until 1868 that the New England
Women’s club in Boston and Soro
sis of New York were founded, and
these two have become the pillars of
the women’s club movement in
America. Nine thousand clubs and
two million members are now the
membership figures given by the
General Federation for its affiliations
in all lands.

OUR NATIONAL WEALTH
The census bureau at Wash
ington has just published a
comparative statement showing
how we stand as to our holding
as a nation and these figures
are compared with others of the
most important countries of the
world. The showing is interest
ing:
United States.. .#187,739,000,000
Great Britain.85,000,000,000
Germany.80,000,000,000
France..50,000,000,000
Russia ..40,000,000,000
Austria Hungary .25,000,000,000
Italy. .20,000,000,000
Our wealth exceeds that ot
Great Britian and Germany com
bined. The aggregate wealth of
France, Russia, Austria Hungary
and Italy falls many millions be
low ours. Great Britain, a country
financial resources whicn bulk
larger in popular imagination and
whose money sinews are mainly
responsible for the ententes abili
ty vto carry on the European war
is shown to have a wealth not
quite half that of the United
States. Germany and Austria
Hungary striving determinedly
against four of the greatest pow
ers enumerated in the tabular
statement, have a combined
wealth of #800,000,000 less than
that possessed by this, the giant
of all nations.
