lines of work before much larger au-
diences than they could otherwise COM
mand when wording alone thus at

70. What, in brief, are the advantages
OF the Council idea TO womankind and
humanity?
The Council idea stands for the cli-
max in the organization OF the highest
forces OF society by women and for
greater unity OF thought, sympathy
and purpose among women who find
inspiration, breadth and release from
limitations through the respect they
come to feel for work differing radi-
cally from their own, yet like 1t IN It's
purpose OF the betterment Of all the
conditions under which humanity is
lnboring to attain the highest good.
Besides work along the various lines
mentioned the Council originated and
set on foot at Its last session plans
looking toward the erection Of per-
munent womnn's building on the state
fair grounds. Their efforts toward
this end have been actively supple
mented by the state fnlr management.
and In the past few months such inter-
est has been manifested in the enter
prise throughout the state as to assure
the completion OF the building another
year on better scale than at first con-
templated. The purposes of the build
Ing are manifold, both In utility and
sentiment. II Is to afford n woman's
auditorium during the state fair and
by Its committee, reception and re-
freshment and reception rooms, lava
tories, etc, provide every comfort and
convenience. and, In addition, be open
during the year to every state conVen-
tion of woman's organizations. 1t will
