HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING. One of the most profitable, as well as most enjoyable meetings, in the life ofs the Historical club, was the one of last Saturday, held at the hospitable hos-pitable home of Mrs. George Matson. Most of the club members and a number num-ber of gueBts, assembled promptly at :30 p. ra. The program was opened by a. reading read-ing of "Robert of Sicily," beautifully rendered by Miss Ruby Cook, In response re-sponse to a request for "more;" Miss Cook gave "Apple Blossoms." Miss Carrie Knapp held the' closest attention of all present for an hour while she discussed "The Civic Awakening Awa-kening in Kansas City." While spendjng some weeks last October in Kansas City, Miss Knapp became greatly interested in the movement for a social betternient in that city, and she became acquainted with a number of the prominent workers. The Historical club was fortunate in receiving re-ceiving her full, clear and inspiring account of the work of the public welfare wel-fare committee with Us various bureaus bu-reaus and the report of the society for the Suppression of Commercialized Vice. The speaker said that while Ogden is small, compared with Kansas City, tha,t in greater or lesser degree, Og den has the same problems and that from the account of the work done In Kansas City her hearers might make their own deductions as to tho work needed here. She dwelt at length on the great success of the social centers, 45 of the school buildings build-ings now being used as communily centers. These are open to any organization or-ganization tor use in any helful cause, for open forum meetings, for discussion discus-sion of any measure in which a group of people may be interested, for clubs, reading rooms and Innocent recreation. recrea-tion. The Municipal Farm and the Municipal Mu-nicipal Employment bureau for the help and reformation of prisoners were explained. The Municipal Garden Gar-den movement, its great success in, helping children and In reducing the cost of living for the citizens, was freely discussed, accurate statistics being given which showed the immense im-mense success of this movement. The Jefferson Home for the furnishing furnish-ing of meals and lodging to unemployed unem-ployed girls and women at a nominal rate, was shown as a great agency for the prevention of a criminal life. The itrlf rfleulation of roominc houses.' through an ordinance standardizing requirements, is another great prevention preven-tion of Immorality. The Welfare Loan association, also, prevents crlmo and the making of criminals by giving giv-ing financial assistance to deserving people who are in temporary distress. The city censorship of picture showo, by which very many pictures passed by the National board are cut out, was commented. Under the board of public welfare, n strict inspection of dances, extending to club dances, as well as to public dance halls maintained. Inspection of factories and prosecution for Infringement of the law, is rigidly enforced. One of the most effective means In suppressing the social evil has been the prosecution of the owners of property leased for .immoral purposes. pur-poses. The law of Missouri provides imprisonment for this offense,. The committee against commercialized vice did not act in the ruthless manner man-ner which has been used in some cities, but offered employment and help to all the unfortunate members of the segregated district. At the end of one year's work, the committee reported that one hundred and fifty girls had embraced lives of respectability. Although much was said of reformative reforma-tive work, the emphasis of the lecture was put on the prevention of crime through the creation of wholesome surroundings for children. In conclusion Miss Knapp said, "There is nothing else in all the world so important as children, nor bo interesting. in-teresting. Some try to nourish the bodies without reference to the souls and some try to nourish souls without reference to bodies. We must recognize rec-ognize the inseparable union of body and soul and care for both. So let us speed; the' day when all shall feel that 'God's in his heaven, all's right In the world,' " Reported by Mrs. J. M. Bishop. on |
