translation of word or phrase would

The one afternoon a year system
tends to do away with the best and
greatest good that comes to women
through club life, viz; the ability to
talk what they have to say. 1t Is
not only the privilege but the duty OF
every Cub woman to cultivate extern
poraneons speaking, but If she is not
expected to express an opinion on
subjects that are presented she may
never make the mental effort to form
one. But If the responsibility is placed
upon her she via have an opinion and
be able 10 express it and thus add her
mite to the interest of each club meet
ing.
