President of Civic Organization Sub? mits Annual Kcport. The following report of tho work-! ings of tho Civic League during the past year was presented to the mem? bers of the league by its president, Mas Armida Moses, at the last meet? ing: Members of the Civic League of Sum? ter: I beg to submit this, my third an? nual report to you as your president. During the past year we have held our nine regular meetings at seven of which I have presided. Whereas the attendance has not been what it should have, it has been decidedly better than for several years. In reviewing the work of the Civic League' during tho twelve years of its existence, I find that we have taken a definite place in the life of the town, that as small as or organiza? tion still is, it has sufflcint force to go on of itself. We could not drop the work even if we so wished. One of the most important things the League has done has been the mould? ing of public opinion, consciously and unconsciously. Because we have stood for better and cleaner con? ditions and havo taken our work se? riously, because our leage members have fmproved their own property and have discussed doing so with others, the subject has received much thought from the community in gen? eral and property all over tho town has been Improved. Tho appearance of tho homo lots of Sumter people can compnro favorably with those of any place In the State; and the town, though there is much to be desired in this lino, is often complimented on Its clean appearance. The other big work?and I feel that the two stand together?has been one that has absorbed much of our attention for the past six years?our visiting nurse. It has been all along and still is a struggle to keep this work going, but those of us who havo given so much of our time to this may feel repaid by the results that have actually been accomplished. Wo find hut a minimum number of cases of the dread tuberculosis, ty? phoid promising to disappear alto? gether, and the better care and un? derstanding of the feeding of babies reducing the mortality among them enormously. The people of Sumter should feel very grateful to our for? mer president, Mrs. H. W. Beall, for introducing what seemed then by far too great an undertaking for so small a city. This work nhould 'not he classed as philanthropy; it Is for health, for tho conservation of hu? man life, it is of the highest among civic work. The good work of our City Health Department is a great aid to our nurse. The least encouraging of our ac? tivities has been our library, for we have not yet been able 10 turn this into a free library and enlarge it. As soon as tho League can increase its funds this can be opened to the pub? lic without charge; but until there is a tax levied to support it, Sumter can not have the library a place as thriving should possess. As it is the small subscription prico can not sup? port anything worthy to bo called "library." The library is not self supporting, being domiciled at the Nurso's headquarters and the librar? ian often paid out of tho League's general fund. Wo still hold one traveling library subject to the call of tho Federation Library Depart? ment, library extension having been from the formation of the club one of its aims. Along this lino we presented the State Hoys' Industrial school at Florcnco with nineteen well selected books last fall. This year our chief work has been towards establishing playgrounds. By means of our Dog and Pony show we have raised about $1'J&.00 to this end and havo had the offer of two lots for this purpose, but we are trying to obtain more desirable ones. We havo given due importance to? wards interesting children in Civic work, having an address made them by the Rev, D. M. McLcod at our Oc? tober meeting and giving out thirteen prizes In their garden contest which closed then, one hundred and forty children have entered this, the fourth year of the content. To further inter? est them in improving their home town wc have offered five dollars for the best essay on "What I can do for Sunder," the winner to be announc? ed at commencement. We have discussed the condition of J working women hero and have set aside the October meeting to take I some action towards preventing cost sales beginning the day after Christ? mas, thai the clerks may have some .rest alter the long siege of Christmas shopping. I We have discussed from time to time the need of domestic science in our schools, that the children may I carry inte? the home of the poor practical ideas as to nourishment and I marketing. Besides ascertaining that ool uuld Introduce this as tlu ild afford It er? have -, nothing. Bui there Sri led to this that we can do. It is not ^enough that wo should study out the most sanitary and economic methods of housekeeping for our own good, but we should teach these things to those who have I no opportunity of learning. In short1 it is quite time that we should un? dertake work along the line of the, mothers' meeting frequent in mill villages and in connection with I kindergarten!. The object is two? fold; to bring some pelasure into the! lives of these poor women whose heavy work in their homes leaves them with neither opportunity nor desire for recreation; and to in? struct them in better ways of caring for their homos and their children. Our nurse reports time and again to us, "It is not so much lack of means that makes the homes of the poor miserable, but lack of knowledge how to make use of what they have." We decided in the fall to try to have programmes at our meetings. The meetings have been so full how? ever and so much business has come up wo have had no time for this. We must make the effort to have more of the work done in committees that we might have time for more inter? esting matter at our meetings. As usual we have cared for the A. C. L. room and grounds, school grounds and "triangle.' Funds have been raised for the library by a con? cert of the Furman Glee Club; for tho general fund by the Dog and Pony show; for the nurse fund, by the monthly collections of a paid col? lector. We have entertained the Florence Civic League, celebrated "Clean up Day," and contributed $10 to the Winthrop Scholarship Fund of the Federation, which supports four girls at this college. As a re? sult of the City Manager's conference with us at the February meeting, tho city decided to plant any trees fur? nished by citizens. In March I carried your greetings to the Bishopville Civic League, hav? ing been invited there to address them. As president of your league I have helped with the organization of four civic clubs during the year, the Civic League of Sumter bearing an excellent reputation over the State and being looked up to as a leader in this work. In closing, I wish to thank you for the privilege of serving you for the past three years. As I believe in ro? tation in office as best in every or? ganization, and as three years seems a fair term of office, I beg you to elect my successor, to whom I trustj all of us will give our heartiest sup? port and cooperation that the work of serving you may not become a burden to anyone. Let us look on holding office in the league as an hon? or and not put it off on just anyone who will take it, but let all of us be willing to take our turn in attending to business. Respectfully submitted, Armida Moses. (On account of the lateness of the hour the election of officers had to be postponed until a special meet? ing set for Juno 8.)
