directors and the election of delegates dele-gates to the national convention at Milwaukee Mil-waukee The grim necessities of parliamentary par-liamentary law arose again to entangle the conventon and before it had finished fin-ished Choosing the delegates to Milwaukee a Milwau-kee the rules of order had been somewhat some-what twisted The session was opened yesterday morning by the motion of Mrs Kinney that where there was but one delegate from a club sho should not have the two votes entitled to I But the motion mo-tion was defeated on tie ground that many of tho far away country clubs find it impossible to send two delegates dele-gates The national reorganization scheme was discussed at some length but there was no definite decision taken concerning concern-ing It The delegates t6 the

doubt trying to you said she oclock The chair declared a recess until 2 ocock At tho afternoon session papers were red and Professor Cooper city superintendent intendent of schools made an address i Mrs Lunds Paper I The essay of Mrs Lund of the Utah I Womans Press club upon tho Relation Rela-tion of the Club to the Community was greatly appreciated I was in part a follows Someone says The womans movement move-ment is the human movement The history of the worlds great changes are of vast Importance for great reforms re-forms and events never come sudden There is always a long course of preparation prep-aration for them There certainly is no study that affords so much real enjoyment I i enjoy-ment nor f altogether so useful as the history of civilization and in pursuing pur-suing this study of the growth and development of the human family the point that stands out most clearly is that it was not until woman became an element in the national growth that a government was established that could bear the test and stress of time History is full of examples of brilliant civilizations but not being built upon the right foundations they could not last and without due reverence for womanhood no government can live try long or make any great strides in progress The test of any nations greatness is made by learning what Its women ar If the study of the worlds history ever inclines me to take apes simistic view of the same I S to Emerson Em-erson and am comforted for he says Although knave win In every political politi-cal strugglf although society seems to be delivered over from the hands of one set of criminals into the hands of another set of criminals a fast a the government is changed and the march of civilization is a train of felonies yet general ends a somehow answered We see now events forced on which see to retard or retrograde the civility civil-ity of ages Physical Training of Girls f Mrs Jennings read l paper from Dr S J Elliot of the Busy Womans club of Moat Dr Elliot is a very busy i woman and she didnt have time to come to Salt Lake Mrs Jennings read the paper In fine voice with red Impe fne wih a distinct enunciation that brought out its arguments with force The subject was The Physical Training of Girls The paper was in part as follows t As vigorous health Is a large element ele-ment of happiness the teaching of how 10 to obtain and maintain i yields in importance im-portance to none The physical training train-ing a girls should be a vital one to all women who have had the best irf that f direction or lacing it have gone down Into that desolate valley of chron cron ic Invalidism The anlnt of a girl f f which will give her not only large mus cles a o many of us think does not by any means cover the whole ground The air she breathes the food she eats theclothes she wears her exercises and sleep are all factors in her training physically and can scarcely be treated in twenty minutes Anyone conversant with girls Tcnowg how few comDrehend or feel at all the importance of either pure air or proper quantity of this most vital element She sets it neither in home nor school and Is go accustomed to vitiated air she scarcely notices It I would train her to detect the faintest presence of bad air and to know how to breathe S a to fill her lungs to their best breathing capacity How to breathe is vastly more Important than many of us tink and the training that Insists on right breathing makes largely her good health The present fashion of hieh colas and stiff belts is not calculated cal-culated to do this nor is the habit of bad oosture bad walking and various kinds of exercise very prevalent and I aDDlauded the best means of reaching i this end Insist on proper posture at hom and in the school room and I much may be done for the girl in the grl direction of helping her how to get a proper quantity of air But more important Im-portant give her pure air to breathe there and if she does not know how t set all she needs at least she will not be breathing poison Modern School Curriculum A Modern School Curriculum was discussed by Professor Cooper He said in a There are two courses to follow in outlining a course for the studyof children dren one the demand of civilization and the other their individual development develop-ment The course of study which answers an-swers the needs of the child must put the whole child to school as an animal as a mentality with due regard to his aesthetic side and to morality Put all of him t school But we wont accomplish complish all of this immediately The nrofessor then went on at some length to discuss what he called some of his educational heresies He advocated advo-cated some very radical changes in the nubile school system of teaching but said thev would not bn alooted because the public would not yet permit i There was some discussion of Professor Pro-fessor Markle Coopers address led by Miss MarkleA In Public Schools Art in the Public Schools wa discussed dis-cussed by Mrs Frank R Elliott superintendent super-intendent of drawing in the public schools She spoke as follows The fact that J stand here this afternoon I take i signifies that you are interested not only for the things that are for the best interest of the children of this commonwealth but also that you are interested in and have a sympathy for a army of women whose almost continual work in the schools debars them from the delights and benefits that como to you women associated in club work Some way this interest that you have shown appeals to me very strongly this afternoon and foretells a time not far distant when the homes and the schools too long divorced will work toward common interests One of the hopeful signs of the times is this constantly con-stantly growing sympathy of women for other women This broadenirrs means in the final outcome the regeneration re-generation of the race The beatitude that Frances Willard that prophetess of our time used to pronounce comes to me this afternoon with renewed force Blessed are the inclusive for they shall bo included and often she would add that corresponding truth cursed are the exclusive for they shall be excluded learned away back in the middle states a long while ago the mighty force of organized woman hood a force that makes sentiment that eventually results in dynamic acton a lore that may direct the conduct con-duct of whose communities That I have been invited to talk upon Art In the School Room tells me that you are alive to the latest thought along educational lines that you believe that now times require new means that what was good enough for you is not good enough for the children today I think we all appreciate the fact that of necessity in our rapid national I growth there has been a long abstinence abstin-ence from the study of the aesthetic but that the time has now come when we may look toward a more symmetrical symmetri-cal education for our people and that it must come from the public schools if we as a nation are to take our people place as an art loving art creating I |
