The Complete Club Book for Women

The Complete Club Book for Women is a book by Caroline French Benton. The title page lists, among other things, a constitution and by-laws, rules of order, instructions how to make a year book, and suggestions for practical community work. The title page also calls it a companion volume to Woman's Club Work and Programs.

The text says it is better to spend a whole club year in study and accomplish only one practical work for the town betterment than enthusiastically to begin on a dozen lines and yet really gain nothing substantial in the end. A section headed The Beginning of Social Service says that a charity organization should be founded, no matter how small the town may be. The text says women of the tenements should be brought into touch with Friendly Visitors and settlements, taught to clean up, to sew, to buy, to cook, to make home attractive. The text says that another way of ending a debate is to move to lay the motion under discussion on the table, which, if seconded, must be put by the President without allowing any discussion.
