club is to have its first excursion next
Thursday firm a. m. to p. m.
Liberty park was the place chosen and
200 boys and girls OF Salt Lake VIII
assuredly have a delightful time. The
features of the programme will be
guess stories, songs, poems, recitations
and games. Each child will take
lunch, so of course eating will not be
forgotten during the general merry
making. Mrs. Lynn has been the re-
cipient of many letters asking the
aims of the Alcott club. Her reply is
that the object of such club is to
give children pleasure in such a way
that they will derive profit at the same
time. To lead their energies in
healthful direction, and to keep them
off the streets. In vacation many
mothers, especially if they are wage
earners, are at sea as to the disposing
of their children. While they are at
school they are safe, but during va
cation the problem is a difficult one.
If for one day they are taken charge OF
in a manner similar to that proposed
by the Alcott club the example and
lessons learned would be so beneficial
that it might lead to good results for
the rest of the week. Then, too each
child pays a nickel as dues and the
money is intended for the purchase OF
books. If clubs like the Alcott were
started in the other wards they would
be a decided benefit to the children.
