ing set for the much talked of Woman's
Gu reception and that set for the social
of the Jersey City Teachers Club are
one and the same, April %. What makes
the oversight more conspicuous is the
fact that perhaps one-fourth of the en-
tire Teachers Gu membership is also
connected with the Woman's Club, there
fore the attendance at both these affairs
must be considerably lessened than if the
oversight had not been committed.
/ The Woman's Club has promised some
4 exceptionally fine talent for Tuesday
evening in Hasbrouck Hall. The first
part of the programme will be addresses
by prominent speakers and a Shakes
pearian recital by Marshall Darraeh, who
is not unknown in this city, having been
favorably received a year ago. There
win also be some excellent music by the
Glee Club.

programme the evening will be in charge
of the Reception Committee. among
whom are Mrs. Alice May Seudder. Mrs.

The numerous departments of the Wom-
ans Gu are very busy at present pre-
pairing their programmes for next year.
The enthusiasm of the Town Improve
ment Committee has spread throughout
the club, and each department is vieing
with the other to gain equal favor with
the Town Improvement. When complet-
ed the programmes are to be all bound
together, pamphlet form, and distributed
among the club members,

the boys ana girls with papers and other
rubbish gathered from the streets, are an
ordinary sight.
One question to be brought up during
the ensuing year by the Educational De-
partment of the Woman's Club is that of
re-establishing the recess system in tine
public schools, especially in the grammar
department where many of the children
are under ten years of age, and feel the
need of a little relaxation from study
during the three hour morning session,
aside from the calesthenic exercises.
Many of the teachers a " discovered
that a child works much better after a
few minutes run in the open air, which
would counterfeit the time and trouble of
a five minutes recess. The general sub
