Interest in the Current Topics club re-
ceived fresh impetus last week from the fact
that the summer meetings will be held in
the Friday Morning club rooms, which are
central and easy Of access. The presence of
fifty women at the first meeting at 1880
a. M. Friday gave promise Of much pleasure
in the work for the hot summer months in
which the class will hold its sessions at that
point.
The most interesting topic OF the morn
ing was our method Of expressing patriotism
upon the Fourth Of July. Chicago's giving
her contribution to the army and navy was
approved and though much pleasure was
found in our professions and music and
patriotic speeches, yet the senseless din of
bombs and firecrackers was not considered
an evidence of patriotism. Further regret
was expressed that the orators and readers
LOT patriotic sentiment spoke SO generously
to audiences of women and girls and not to
men and boys; that living for ones country
was not considered as important or as glor-
ious as fighting and dying for the country
Clara Barton's pathetic telegram, the an
nexation of Hawaii and other news Of the
week come up for consideration. Next week
the effect upon the labor question through
the annexation of Hawaii will be given es-
ecial attention.
The Bostonian club held special bust
ness meeting Friday evening at the resi-
0ence of Prof. and Mrs. w. g. Cogswell or
