The Fortnightly Club.

Friday afternoon, March %, The Fort
nightly Club met with Mrs. w. V. Win
dus.
The first paper lin continuation OF our
study OF Les Miserables) was reao 10y
Miss Ruth Bolton, and was entitled
"Fantine." Miss Bolton did not attempt
to moralize or draw conclusions, but pre-
sented her subject with great simplicity
and force in all its pathos, intense de-
yotion and utter misery. The lesson OF
this pititul character could not have been
brought out more wildly, and it is with
a great prayer OF thanksgiving that we
think of the efforts OF the noble and
courageous women of our time, who,
with the help of their friends, are estab-
fishing and opening homes OF refuge for
the forsaken and penitent Fantines Of
today.
Mrs. II. j. Jackson followed with Il
paper entitled Convent for Women ys,
Higher Education." Mrs. Jackson did
not deal with mere generalities concern
ing current education, but presented
much exact and interesting data; as, tor
instance the courses OF study and re-
quired work of several standard con-
vents. The great object, as we'll as the
practical, intellectual and moral iniiu-
ences Of this system of education were OF
course pointed out and contrasted with
those of our national system OF educa-
| ton. During the spirited discussion
that followed not only Convent but Mon
astic influences were considered. Statls-
tics from France appear to prove that the
colleges fill the prisons. Whereas, sta
tistics Of England prove the contrary.
Is not the contrast in the school systems
of the two nations the secret OF this con-
trasting relation between intellectually
and crimeP
Higher education for women was con-
sidered and criticized as to its influence
upon the individual, the home and upon
society, Branches still needful for the
| I3apnding out OF woman's education were
suggested, and the time is looked forward
! to when Domestic Science will have as
essential place in the college and unl-
versitv curriculum az Manual Training,
the demand for which is now 50 general,
Napoleon-AusterIitz to Waterloo,
was the title CT Mrs. O. l.. Waller
paper. Mrs. Waller presented a subject
which has long been OF special interest
to her, and the paper was well worthy
the interest with which it had been an
ticipated by the members OF the club
The recent magazine literature on thlt
subject was considerably discuss d at the
close of the paper. Our interest Is
mingled with some regret that the new
light thrown by recent research should
dispel much romance and shatter some
OF our ideals.
At the close OF the program attention
was called to the fact that the regular
election of officers takes place at the next
meeting. Also that each member is re-
quested to present in writing at that
meeting the titles of the books she would
wish to study next year. The next meet
ing will be held with Mrs. 9. G. Fletcher,
April 10Th, at 3 p. m.

Mr.. Kerr, however, was not looking lor

ino that he could not afford to unless at
