meeting, March %, papers were read
on Relation of Parent and Teacher
to the Education of the Child" and
"Co-operation of Parents and Teach
ers." Both papers were we'll re-
ceived. The next m Getting will be
for payment of dues. Election of Of

w. X. G..
The G. A. r. and w. R. G. have
met with great loss in the death of
Past Commander-in-C Chief Albert d.
Shaw, being man who fully under
stood the nature and principles of
the w. K. G. and would, when oppor-
tunity offered, strengthen and en-
courage the order by his wise coun-
sci and words of cheer:
Gone but will not be forgotten.
"Comrade sleep thy work is done.
God bless thy loved ones here,
From Heavens gates the roll was
called,
Twas you that answered, Here"
Humane Society.
Oskaloosa certainly needs Humane
Society.
Conditions are sometimes met that
require the work of an organized So
ciety and no other association seems
to meet the need. All inhumanities
| to children and cruelties to dumb
| animals come under this court. A
case in the northeast part of the city
needs attention Immediately; and we
hope ere this is published, that an
| organization will have been effected
| and the case attended to.
We hope to have notes from this
society every week.
The Ladies' Auxiliary TO the Y. vi CA.
The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Young
Mems Christian Association, was or
ganized in 1890. AS the name indi-
Gates its work is supplementary to
that organization. Any woman in
terested in the work of the Y. M. @.
A. is eligible to it's membership. The
work accomplished by the ladies has
been to assist the secretary in the
social part of his duties and in the
care and furnishing of the rooms. At
different times they have added
chairs, pictures, curtains, several
new carpets and piano. The selection
of this last gift has proved to have
been wise one. 1t has been source
of amusement, of high order, and
has added very much to the Sunday
meetings and social gatherings. The
work of the auxiliary has always been
in cooperation with the Y. M. G. A.
board and numerous socials and re-
ceptions have been provided for the
association. In an organization COM
posed entirely of men and boys there
is much that could not be undertaken
without women's help. 1t is work of
this kind that the auxiliary tries to
do. Sometime ago $500 was pledged
by them towards the much needed
new building. They have become re-
sponsible for the sale, to some ex-
tent, of the march composed by Mr..
Farmhouse and dedicated to the Y.
M. O. A. All proceeds from the sale
of this music are given to the build
ing fund. In general way, this is
the work this woman's organization
has done, and hopes to do, and in
these various ways money has been
provided to accomplish what has
been done for the good of the public.
Women's Auxiliary OF Penn College
was organized Jan. 10, 1897. Its pur-
pose is to cooperate with the Young
Mems and the Young Women's
Christian Associations of the college.
The auxiliary is divided into various
offices and committees who endeavor
to carry out the purposes of the as
sociation by giving serious attention
to those needs of the students that
come in reach, and consideration
for the interests of the college. The
auxiliary has been few In number but |
with earnest en6eavor considerable
success has resulted from their eff
