Hour     Not     Convenient,     Say
Women, and May Petition to
Have a Change Made,
A   COMMITTEE    APPOINTED
The first afternoon meeting of the Geneva Political Equality Club, held yesterday at the home of Mrs. M. A. c'app, was largely attended. The musical Program  given in  Saturday's  edi-
iuh JVhe, Tlm6S   WaS   oa"*d   t
W. H. Partridge presided.
After the musical selections Miss Anne Miller took the opportunity of commending fhe local work of the club. She considered that a new life of activity had pervaded the club, due, Miss ! Miller thought, to the suggestions of Mrs. Gilman that the club extend its work to the civic interests of the city. Mias Miller expressed her great disappointment that more women who were entitled to vote had not attended the annual school meeting. It was thought that possibly this might be due to the early hour, 2 o'clock being an inconvenient hour for housekeepers. A committee of two was appointed to interview Miss Harriet B. Pope as to the | possibility of having the hour changed. I The secretary was instructed to send i a letter to Mayor Rose recommending that when the next vacancy occurred on the Board of Health, the position be j given to a woman.                                 !
It was announced that Miss Brown-lee, principal of the LaGrange High School, of Toledo, Ohio, where the "Brownlee System of Child Training" has. been in practice for seven years, has been secured to deliver an address in this city February 24th at 8 p. m. at tho High School. This is a great opportunity to hear of this most sue-' cessful work and to consider the advisability of introducing tho system in our city schools.
The next meeting to be held under the auspices of the Club will, by courtesy of Hobart College, bo held in Coxe Hall, Monday evening, January 27th,. at 8 o'clock. An address will be given by Carl Lumholtz on ."Unknown Mexico," illustrated by stereop-ticon views. This will be of educational value as Mr. Lumholtz has traveled extensively and is credited as being the discoverer of a race of cave-dwellers supposed tn he ovtinet in ; Mexico. At the March meeting an address will be given by Mrs. Anna Etz of Hornell on "Bricks Without Straw.''
A poem entieled "Whither?" read by Miss Anne Miller, presented a sorrowful picture of a child forced to earn its own living. It was written by Morris BosenfieJd in Yiddish, the language of parts of lower JS'ew York. It was afterward translated by Rose Pastor Stokes, who was heard in tfris city about a year ago, and was published in the last issue of "The Independent."
