Show iws AND GOSS1P Of 0 TOE WO S CLUBS A subject that is 1 present agitating I the minds of club women Is the advisability advisa-bility of making the club meetings public pub-lic In The past admittance to club meetings antS been steadily denied to the newspapers and in consequence there the-re GTts from the various clubs have been merely a skeleton outline of the proceedings Of late however members mem-bers of the prominent clubs have been brought to the realization of the interest inter-est rot only in the city but throughout through-out the state that is being taken in the progress of the club movement People are not only interested in the work being done but they are interested inter-ested In the subjects under diScuSsion and it is believed that in the near fu tune the members of the nore progressive progres-sive cluba will amend their constitutions constitu-tions and permit fuller and nOre satis factorj reports of their proceedings Addresses I3y Superintendent

largeo according to the influences influ-ences brought to bear upon our lives Schools l die to furnish very largely them the-m tC1ial for these ideas Wnat we do ourselves furnishes a part of our lives but what other people do and what we think of what they do constitutes the larger part The proper study of mankind is man The deeds and character of a man not his words are what have the greatest great-est effect We realize In later life that the strongest influences In our schooldays school-days was that of the teachers personality person-ality not the Latin we read or the problems we worked I Sp in choosing an ideal teacher I would demand that her language be accurate I ac-curate and elegant her manners those of a princecs and her morals so pure that she has a poise of life which can I I never become unbalanced I The associations and language of the home have the same effect and the I teacher can tell at once from the childs language the kind of a home from which he comes and the style of language lan-guage lie hears there I have spoken I of the direct association with living people and the influence therefrom There is arf indirect association possessing possess-ing an
