The work among the Indians was dis
cussed at length. Mrs. l.. Z. Hunt read
the circular which she, as chairman of
the committee on fora, has prepared.
Mrs. +. B. Clarke read her circular as
chairman OF the scholarship committee
This is ali exceedingly important com
mittee. and one in which Mrs. Clarke is
especially interested. The circular is
as follows:
Among philanthropic and broad
minded women there always exists an
earnest desire that 10 every one of their
sex shall be given the best possible OPP
portunitieS for symmetrical develop
ment and growth. These women recog-
niZe in the coming worlds fair an op-
portunity for study and culture exceed
ingly rare and valuable. Hence it is
that thnSp f1WOrn6 IF for titu
TO bring within the reach of women of
unusual ability and WORTH the advan-
tageS OF this great exposition.
Looking to this end. the WOman'S
auxiliary to the worlds fair commission
of Minnesota has established what are
known as relationships" for the worlds
fair.
The possession of one of these schol-
arships will entItle its holder to rail-
road transportation to and from the fair.
with room, board and admission fees
for from ten days to two weeks. at
cost it is hoped. not to exceed S25.
Until railroad reductions are definitely
settled these scholarships will not be Of
fered for sale; but this ought not to him
der the immediate formation Of & fund
for the purchase of such scholarships
when issued. to be given to deserving
and talented women who are unable to
purchase such privileges for them
selves. ZEE
1t is earnestly hoped that each county
organization will, by soliciting subscrip-
tons, by voting portion of its mem
bersllp fees. by special entertainments,
or by any other convenient and proper
method. add to this fund. 1t has been
suggested that each church. charitable,
philanthrOpic and educational organiZa-
ton III the state raise the sum necessary
for one or more scholarships, the bene-
ficiary to be one connected with such
institution or designated by it.
The state scholarship committee is
very DESTROYS that this shall form vital
and 'help-giving philanthropy. Every
woman who expects 10 enjoy and to
profit by this grand exhibition of a
worlds progression ought to feel it a
duty, as well as a privilege, ITO assist in
procuring for some worthy and intelli-
gent woman, otherwise deprived of its
advantages. this grand opportunity fol-
stimulating and charging her lifeworfZ.
Mrs. Clarke further said that while in
Chicago she had been urged to see that
professional men artists be chosen tc
act on juries to decide on the merits OF
articles offered for exhibition. This
has been done in a majority of instan-
ceS. and will be the rule. The two
carved panels sent by Minnesota to the
woman's building, Mrs. Clarke said, are
among the most beautiful in the build
ing. and are flatteringly spoken of in
Chicago.
After little uninportant business
and brief discussion the meeting ad.
journed. There is to be an open meet
ing at the same place at 10 O'clock this
morning. and every woman in town is
