Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Associated Work of the Women of Indiana I The watchword of the day is organization. Our national motto, .e Pluribus Unum, is receiving a universal illustration. The spirit of combination, of federa tion, has seized upon the people. The manufacturers have combined to force upward the cost of their goods; the wage earners have federated to increase the price of their labor. The day for great accomplishments through individual ao tion is passing away. We are becoming too large a nation for solitary effort to be crowned with large achievement. One man may be raised up to lead in some he roie undertaking, but he secures its highest fulfillment only by gathering his forces and banding them together for united effort. One woman may hear a divine call! For a special work, but she recognizes that the first step toward success is to carry her message to other women, and associate them with her in her labors. The man who isolates himself from his fellow men is like the hermit in his cave - in; the world, but not of it. Every profession, every trade, has its organization. There are the national bar associations, the famous religious councils, the great medical congresses, the electrical conventions, the literary clubs. The political organiza tions shake the country to its foundations, and shape the destinies of the nation; but they, in turn, are largely governed by the mighty influence of federated labor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that every twenty-four hours witnesses the birth of a new organization. People are coming nearer together every year, and the world is growing smaller. Men and women are awakening into a new consciousness of their powers, and are developing that breadth of view which fol lows a wide association with others. It is a great satisfaction to know what our fellow-men are doing; 'a great incentive to learn what difficulties they have over come, what results they have achieved; a great comfort to feel that we are not alone in our work and our discouragements. It makes us strong to know that others are standing with us, shoulder to shoulder; it makes us noble to come out of our selfishness and join hands with our brothers.
