One Of the lessons that the teachers have
ceived was given by the clubwomen at a meeting
OF the Massachusetts State Federation at Lynn.
The Cubans were the guests Of honor, and about
fifty Of them were present. The entire programme
was devoted to the promulgation OF the club idea
with the hope in view that the Cuban sisters would
catch the enthusiasm and carry back TO their ISL
and home sufficient inspiration TO engraft the club
movement there.

GOOD CHEER.
ONLY A SUGGESTION.

AS you travel down lfes pathway
Cast the rocks aside:
Pluck the thorns from out the highway
And the brambles from the byvay,
Aiding those who're in the wrong way.
Make this rule your guide
Thus you smooth the way for others
Who must follow you;
And you make their trials fewer
And life easier to endure.
And the world will grow more pure
For the deeds you do.
Kindness does not cost you dearly,
Do not hoard fl all.
Spread il all around about you,
Give no cause for man 10 doubt you.
Heed not evil minds who fout you;
Lift up those who fall.
And YOU make OF life a blessing.
Cheering all you greet;
You will be of use to others
Man to man as friends and brothers;
Not with enmity that smothers,
Blest by all you meet.

TO Study CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

All the prominent women's clubs of America are
TO be urged to take up the study Of Civil Service

Club Of Concord, Mass. As the clubs include
women of different political sympathes il was
found necessary 10 select a subject non-partisan
in Character but one which touches every develop
ment of political life.
Our desire" says Miss Perkins Is 10 or1ng
the subject before the women of the country in
some authoritative way and through the agency OF
the clubs II can be done normally ana logically
These bands of women are pledged both directly
and indirectly stand for the higher influences
In our civilization, and this reform will seem 10
