4. Honor thy club sisters.

8. Thou shalt not at the eleventh hour begin to hunt material for thy
paper.

CHAPTER XXI

WHAT CLUBS ARE STUDYING

II

From many club year books that have been examined the following programs
are selected:

Here is the program of a Louisiana club which has studied the history of
its own State--a very good thing to do: The Early Settlers in Louisiana;
Founding of New Orleans; Spanish Dominion; Jackson Square and the
Cabildo; Louisiana's Part in the Revolution; The Great Purchase; The
Battle of New Orleans; The Carnival and Mardi Gras; The French Quarter;
Louisiana Folk Tales; The Evangeline Country; The State's Resources;
Forestry; Mines and Minerals; Products; The History of the Levees; Bird
Life in Louisiana; Louisiana Law; The Code; Laws of the Home; Legal
Status of Women, and Their Influence in Municipalities. It is hoped that
this program was illustrated with the many delightful stories of life
in New Orleans which have been written.
