Preface.
TO THE WOMEN OF ILLINOIS:
The Illinois Woman's Exposition Board, recognizing that woman enters largely into the educational, charitable and professional work of the world, herewith presents the results of a canvass of the State for the number of women engaged in the education of our youth, in caring for the defective classes, the sick, the aged and the poor, and as near as possible, reporting those who are battling with life as wage earners. Through the interest and unremitting labors of the women in our County Columbian Clubs, the present volume has been made possible, and to them we dedicate this work, hoping that ere many years each and every county may send out women prepared to meet and conquer every foe to morals, religion and progress. In the smaller towns the church is the fountain of all charitable work; hence, we have noted all the mission and aid societies reported, though they are but auxiliaries of State organizations. As in all statistical work, much is overlooked, but enough is gathered to show the trend of public sentiment, and to prove that "The destiny of nations lies in the hands of woman."

8 Illinois Women's Exposition Board, created by act of legislature, June 17, 1891, to represent the interest and industries of the women of Illinois at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. To this end, the legislature set aside the sum of $80,000 or one-tenth of the whole State appropriation. The board consists of four women appointed by the Governor, together with the two national members and their alternates. They are as follows: Mrs. Marcia Louise Gould, Moline, president; Miss Alice Bradford Wiles, Freeport, vice president; Miss Mary Callahan, Robinson, secretary; Mrs. Richard J. Oglesby, Elkhart; Mrs. Frances Welles Shepard, Chicago; Mrs. Isabella Laning Candee, Cairo; Mrs. Francine E. Patton, Springfield. This board formed auxiliary clubs in each county in the State, thus enlisting the interest of all its women. Many of these clubs have several hundred members, and have been great factors in the work of the Columbian Exposition in Illinois.
