An educational com- mittee was appointed. Mothers clubs and reading circles were organized in the rural districts, and an effort made to bring the school and home in touch. In this work conferences were held with the county 37 counties of superintendents of the Georgia. The formation of night schools was also taken up, and several were incorporated in the public school system.

In defending her views upon this subI believe in the unlimited ject, she says: club, because it is democratic, and it is better that the club be unlimited, because in the introduction of new members the life and interest arc constantly being renewed. I feel iiiu ch like the traveler, who did not know which class of ticket to buy, but found the distinction between them when a hill was reached, and the order was given: First class passengers keep your seats, second class passengers get out and walk, and third class passengers get out and push. I want the club women to get out and push. There is a club in Colorado that is going to 4 take for its topic next winter The Fifteenth Century, while the problems of the nineteenth century arc staring them in the face; the very men, women, and children, and, indeed, the verv animals in the street in that mining town need their attention.

At the Kducational Congress held in the Auditorium the evening of June 28th, the Thomas Orchestra gave the musical proof gram. Mrs. Kate Hridcwell-AndcrsoSalt Lake City, was the vocalist of the evenMelba Waltz, giving ing, and sang the such a charming interpretation that the audience compelled an encore, when she sang a new patriotic song, March on, Brave Lads, March on, by Mildred Hill, giving the martial effect with intense dramatic fervor. The Congress of Musicians, under the management of Mr. Homer Moore, proved an unqualified success, and was a source of great pleasure and profit to all visiting and local musicians. A notable event was the Wagner concert at the Auditorium, July 1st, at eight oclock, with the Thomas Orchestra, Miss Jennie Osborn, Miss Jennie Dutton, M iss Mabel Bryant, Messrs. Harry J. Fellowc, Frank S. Hannah, and Homer Moore, and the whole programme was rendered as Wagner only can be given by such artists. After the musical numbers, Mr. Moore gave one hundred stereopticon views representing scenes and characters in the Wagner music drama, and some were really fine. July 4th was a great day at the Exposition. Nearly one hundred thousand people visited the grounds during the day and evening, and, if patriotism is to be measured by the enthusiasm of the great crowd, then indeed are we faithful and true to our beloved Uncle Sam and Old Glorv. The Congress of Musicians closed the evening of our national holiday by a grand concert at the Auditorium, wdth a program made up of American music.

Arts Building. the Erne Arts Building, lies that of Liberal Arts. It is one of the largest on the grounds, and one of the most interesting and varied in exhibits. It has five long wide passages running from cast to west, and has three entrances. There is a sort of a balcony extending all around, inside the wall, where the different schools have their exhibitions of penmanship, arithmetic, grammar, and drawing. There is also beautiful china, d and otherwise. The whole building is decorated quite profusely with flags of all nations, mostly, however, our own national red, white and blue emblem. Downstairs the d booths give a bright, artistic look to the general whole. The booths are almost all decorated with bunting or flags. The main corridor, running from the east to the west entrance, is the one where the prettiest booths arc shown. It is also rather noisv, as there is a typewriter being run all day, an electric, or automatic, piano and organ, a gramaphone and graphaphonc, and various other articles productive of sound. ENery place wares are for sale; either orders are taken or things are sold at the exhibit. In the cast end of the building there is a booth devoted to incubators, and it is a thing of great interest to most people to watch the eggs at different stages, and to see the tiny chickens and ducks that have finally picked their way out of the shells, and roll and waver around small, unformed things, but with the promise of being prettier as time Elast of hand-painte- multi-colore- Engraved Calling Cards, 100 and Plate, $1.50; 100 from Plate, $1.00 |
