Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work and Words of the National Congress of Mothers These matters will be presented to the Congress by men and women foremost in such work and whose names are everywhere known and revered. As the time intervening between this and the Mothers' Con gress is comparatively brief, it behooves all who feel an interest in the cause to be up and doing. The plan of procedure is sim ple. Every city and town and village has its organizations and clubs for various purposes. Let each one of these call a special meeting and form a mothers' club in which all can unite. We will furnish, on application from the secretary of such clubs, suggestions which may prove helpful in the conduct of the meetings, which should be held every week for awhile, if possi ble, in order that the need for this work may be clearly set forth and that delegates may be decided upon for the N ational Con gress in February. It is desired that all who can will attend the national meeting; but as it is possible that only a minor pro portion of the mothers will be able to come, it is essential for each organization to send at least one delegate, who can carry back a detailed account of the meetings, and be prepared to in struct the home club in the methods to be pursued for ensuing years, it being a part of the plan to have the national organiza tion hold regular annual meetings hereafter.
