Book excerpt: Excerpt from Womans Club League, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1904-1905 In 1892, all the Literary, Musical and Art Clubs, of Fort Wayne, were called together and a federation of clubs was formed, known as' The Woman's Club League. Its com mon purpose was to promote a larger growth of a Civic, Educational, Social and Art Spirit, than could come through the limitations of the smaller Literary Clubs. The results of this movement have been manifold. First, A magnificent Public Library stands as a monument to the first work undertaken by the League, in 1893. Second, Departments for separate working sections were formed, thus serving to bring the numerous clubs into closer and more sympathetic relations. These departments include Art, Domestic Science, Education and Civic Improve ment. In the Art Section - Over one hundred pictures have been placed in the Public Schools. In Domestic Science - An effort to equip a school for domestic science in the New Manual Training School building is being made.
