There is no question but that there is a broad field for a womans paper in Utah. That there are many enterprises in which women are intensely interested and which are not covered by the newspapers is evident to all who are keeping abreast of womans advancement. An invitation is extended to every womans organization in the state to send reports about the things in which they are interested whether it be club work, charity, politics, art, education or any of the various lines in which women are working. A paper is needed which is devoted to the better life of the community, entirely rid of the accounts of crime and immorality which occupies so prominent a place in our If as the newspaper daily papers. men declare, there is a demand for the sensational and criminal accounts which are published, let it be demonstrated that there is another class which does not demand nor countenance them. A paper devoted to the education of the mother, that she may gain help and inspiration in guiding and training the lives given into her keeping; the improving of our educational methods, the broadening of charity that it may be more wisely dispensed in providing environments for the little waifs which by proper training can be made strong and good citizens instead of perpetuating a dependent class of citizens who will transmit their parasitic tendencies to the third and fourth generation; to solving the social questions which are absorbing the attention of our better class of men and women all over the world; a bureau of information in regard to the progress of women in every department of life; in short a KB VIEW. su broad and noble outlook on all is a place or jects, and certainly there desuch a paper, and as women are enso much of their time and voting a ergy to these various departments, in paper which they feel is especially be sympathy with them should strongly supported. is every community more or less familiar with laws that are called dead letters. These have usually been past when existing con- The public in ditions demanded them, which per- haps have been overcome or changed, but there are also many instances when laws should be enforced, and which are on the statute books, wrhich are steadily ignored. One notable instance in our midst is an ordinance to compel power houses and large engines to have smoke consumers. Even our city attorney and city recorder were not aware that such an ordinance existed. The Womans Club appointed a committee to see if something could not be done to remove the smoke and soot nuisance in this city, and as a consequence, the ordinance passed several years ago was discovered, which has been steadily violated, and under which there has never been a prosecution, (as far as we can learn.) We will anxiously await the developments of the work of the Womans Club Committee, trusting that enough sentiment will be aroused to cause a few or many prose- cutions, that will make smoke con- sumers a wise economy for the large smoke manufactories. An invitation has been sent to every club in the State Federation requesting reports from them. These reports will prove a stimulus to many women who do not belong to a club, but who nevertheless are interested in knowing what womens organizations are accomplishing in helping to establish public and traveling libraries, school libraries, various village improve- ments, kindergartens, night schools, sewing schools, cooking schools, and many, many other things that womens clubs are doing. The Review goes into almost every State in the Union, and what our Utah clubs are doing is brought to the notice of club women everywhere through the many womens papers who clip any news that is of importance. Every club in the State should feel a pride in having its work known through such reports. Will not every club send a full report of its educational work, its public or traveling library, suggestions, and all the other things talked of and aspired to by the club members for our next issue? Articles must reach the editor by Thursday afternoon. The paper on child study, from which extracts are given in paper was one of the topics assigned in the educational series occurring one afternoon in each month during this year at the Salt Lake Womans Club. It was a well prepared paper and the tender, loving mother was behind every word. We regret the lack of space to publish the paper in to-da- ys full. In the Womans Edition, of the Denver Rocky Mountain News of New Years day appears across the top of one page nearly a yard of Denver babies, and among other verses is this one: All our mammas are voters, And do up their voting brown, But babies are still the fashion, You see, in Denver town. Emperor William, through the Grand Master of the Imperial Court, has given instructions to all gentlemen and ladies belonging to the court or those who have had the honor of presentation that they shall pay the first visit to embassadors and their wives, and the notification refers particularly to the United States Embassador and Mrs. White. It seems that court officials had not been punctilious in their social courtesies to Mr. and Mrs. White, hence this order in the Imperial Gazette, The University of Munich has conferred on Princess Theresa of Bavaria, daughter of the Prince Regent, the honory degree of doctor of . |
