Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work and Words of the National Congress of Mothers The Report of the Proceedings of the First National Congress of Mothers, held in Washington, D. C., February 17th, 18th, and 19th, is offered to the public with the statement that from this initial conference much that will prove of inestimable value to the work was learned which will doubtless inure to the greater welfare and wider influence of future Congresses. Truly grateful for the hearty response which was manifest by the large attendance drawn from all parts of our country, the report is printed as a slight token of our appreciation for the generous co-operation of the clubs, organizations, and individuals who came, some of them from great distances and at great expense, to attend the Congress. The enthusiasm and inspiration of the meetings were largely due to the constant presence and undivided attention of these delegates. Aside from their numbers, the large correspondence with those who could not come and yet who wish to know of the Congress, what was said, what was done, and what is to be done, furnishes us with still a second and larger audience. For the benefit of all these the report has been prepared. The special essays and the extempore addresses have been gathered together and stand classified in this volume, that they may become a ready reference for clubs studying upon parallel lines. The programme as presented at the Congress is reprinted here, not omitting the appropriate and beautiful quotations which adorned its pages. In the Appendix may be found a commentary on the Congress, since it is impossible to enlarge the report sufficiently to include all of the excellent words delivered in the side conferences. Stenographic reports were not made at these branch meetings, but a few papers were submitted, which the Board of Officers may sometime decide to print as leaflets for distribution on demand.
