PLEDGE OF TENNESSEE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS

"_WE PLEDGE OURSELVES_ to use our united strength to make better
homes, better schools, better surroundings, better scholarship,
and better lives; to work together for civic health and civic
righteousness; to preserve our heritage--the forests, and the
natural beauties of the land; to procure for our children an
education which fits them for life--the training of the hand and
the heart as well as the head; to protect the children not our
own, who are deprived of the birthright of natural childhood; to
obtain right conditions and proper safeguards for the women who
toil."
