Child’s Welfare Convention
Footnotes
198. The official name of this convention was First International Congress in America for the Welfare of the Child. It was held under the auspices of the National Congress of Mothers, which evolved into the Parent-Teacher Association.
199. The tobacco question was the civil unrest that developed in western Kentucky as independent growers attempted to dismantle the “tobacco trust” headed by the American Tobacco Company. The night riders were members of tobacco cooperatives, who used intimidation and violence to extort participation in the cooperatives from local growers. Willson was criticized by both sides. Informally known as the Black Patch War, hostilities took place between 1904 and 1909.
