Club Extension.

Believing that more general
knowledge of the work of the Nebras-
ka federation of women's clubs, will
result in a mutual helpfulness to the
women of our state, the executive
board has appointed standing COM
mittee on club extension, as a medium
of information. The state federation
now consists of about one hundred
clubs, with approximately thirty-three
hundred members. 1t has standing
committees as follows: Art, Educa-
ton, Household Economics, Industrial
and Music. 1t is the duty Of these COM
mittees to furnish suggestions and out

THE COURIER

(See proposed change in Article VIII.
of constitution.) There is another way
in which much better results may be
obtained-Club Extension. While the
most significant outcome of extending
club work into new localities would
be the broadening and uplifting in
fiuence, and enthusiasm of the greater
number, incidentally 1t would solve
the question of finance, for 1t requires
no greater expense to transact the bus
mess and furnish the program for two
hundred than for one hundred clubs,
vet the income would be twice as large.
AS you believe in the club movement
and receive the benefit of organization,
can you not make a missionary effort
to propagate your faith, in near by
communities?
Will not each club in the federation
appoint an extension committee, anu
endeavor to present the name OF one
or more organized clubs to the execu-
tive board for federation before June,
that they may be admitted and notified
in time to send delegates to the annual
meeting. Ii has occurred to you all,
but it is well worth bearing in mind
in this connection, the more one gives
away of his money possessions the
hn Sc u.hil ha oivpc
away, or shares, his intellectual pos
session, the richer he is.
The next annual meeting will be
held in Wayne, October to IL, by
invitation of the Wayne Town fedora
ton for which preparations are al
ready being made. 1t is the desire at
this meeting that delegates be seated
apart from visitors, and in order that
We may locate, and the more readily
recognize the delegates, will not each
club send its own banner on a stand
ard ready for use? We hope to record
the faithfulness of even the most dis
tant clubs in sending representatives,
as a report taken back to each club
widens the influence of the session, be-
sides the acquaintanceship formed at
these meetings is productive of good
feeling among the women of our state
which is most desirable from any
point of view.
Come prepared with your club re-
port, come prepared to take part in the
discussions, come prepared to have a
good time.

club applies for membership it is al
lowed all of these privileges.
Six years of united effort have done
much to broaden and enrich the intel
lectual life of many of the women of
Nebraska; that much more can be
done is equally certain. In the vii
lages and agricultural districts are
many capable women, fully alive to
the great questions of the day, but
without organized centers for intellec-
tuai and social advancement. These
forces need only to be called into ac-
tion and organized into clubs, in order
to be productive of great good.
With this in view We submit plan
of organization and most cordially in
vite your careful consideration. First,
secure the interest of one or two
thoughtful women; decide what kind
of club is desirable; whether for gen.
eral study or scientific work; settle
upon the plan and the constitution,
even a name, il possible. Commit the
same to writing. Then invite few
friends, present the club idea. and ask
them to help in the new organization.
Select chairman and proceed to elect
officers as follows: president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer. At
this meeting constitution may be
adopted. Enclosed find copy of model
cunstitution.) A careful record Of all
meetings should be kept from the fifst.
Conditions vary SO greatly, both in
character and needs of clubs-the cir
size. possibilities and limitations--in
different localities, that any attempt
to outline course Of study would de-
feat its own end. If in doubt, we would
recommend child study, household
economics and current events as being
tnpics of general interest. But exper-
ience shows that it is well in the be-
ginning to limit the number of sub
jects.
Any woman's club in Nebraska
which is regularly organized with a
constitution or bylaws, with objects
unsectarian and non-partisan, is elig-
ible to membership in this federation.
No individual can be a member. Clubs
desiring to join the federation shall
make application for membership, ac-
companied by their constitution, dues,
names of president and secretary and
number of members, to the recording
secretary. A majority vote of the ex-
ecutive board present at any meeting

Travelling Libraries.


belongs the honor o. inaueu atIne a
state system of travelli, g libraries.
The headquarters for this new move
ment is Albany and out from that city
Mr.. Dewey sent Libraries of 100 vol
unces each to country ne;ghborhoods
and small hamlets, thus affording 10
the people good, wholesome reading
without money and without p.ice.
This work began in 1898, and today
the state of New York makes an an
nual appropriation of $4,000 to sup
port these libraries.
These libraries are sent not only To
the people in farming communities.
but to study clubs, summer hotels and
to student clubs. He also sends pic
lures and lantern slides to aid those
who are taking up special lines of
work
The plan proved so popular that
other states caught the library spirit
and in 1895 and 1896 Iowa, Michigan
and Ohio secured aid from their re-
spective states, not only fostering the
establishment of local libraries, but
providing for travelling libraries as
WELL
To one who has watched the growth
of this movement, Wisconsin has per-
haps won first place, especially in the
amount of work accomplished. Mr..
Frank A. Hutchins, secretary of the
Wisconsin free library commission,
says: mo recent movement for the
public veal in our state has won such
quick and ready sympathy as the effort
to put the best of books and current
literature where country people may
read them freely
Today there are travelling libraries
in Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Ind
lana. Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachus-
etts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wisconsin,
indeed, thirty-three states have some
form of travelling libraries. Seven
teen of these states are doing most eff
fective work through library commits
sions.
1t is with no small satisfaction that
the writer of this article adds the
name Nebraska to the list of states
which favors this new method of pop
ular education.
The enactment of this law is largely
due to the efforts of the state fedora
ton and individual clubs, together
with the Nebraska library association,
each Strengthening the other by united
efforts. When the governors sigma
ture is attached to this bill, the citi
zens OF our state will begin to realize
that the travelling library is not the
dream of a theorist, but high privil
ege, recognized duty, whose value
ana Importance cannot be overest-
mated.
In casting about for the right per-
son to introduce the library bill in the
mouse, the committee decided upon Mr..
David Brown of Nebraska City. 1t was
wise choice. Mr. Brown was a lover
OF books, lover Of humanity, a man
who recognized that the state has no
material resource at all comparable
: 10 Its citizens and no hope of per-
petuity except in the intelligence and
integrity of its people.

HAWAII BOUND.
Eight Hundred and Thirty-nne lmmi-
 grants Sailed From New Orleans.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 Ponce, P. R., March 2S.-Another expe- dition of Hawaiian bound emigrants sailed for New Orleans on the steamer California, Captain Dyer from Guanan- lea, yesterday There were s3e in the par ty. The expedition was composed of the finest appearing lot of people yet to leave for Hawaii. Nearly all the travellers com prised entire families. Of the 2700 Porto Ricans who have gone to Hawaii, over 65 per cent have been women.
 Before the first boat load of emigrants was sent out to the ship, about 1900 peo- pie congregated on the beach and two priests celebrated mass in the open air. Two weddings and two christenings were also performed.
 While on their way to New Orleans the emgrants, most of whom were in rags when embarking, will be cheaply but sub- startially clothed at the expense of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association, and the entire party will be vaccinated.
 Rations of codhsh, beef, potatoes rice beans, bread and coffee are served twice daily.
 The only reasonable objection so far to their emigration from Porto Rico is that the islands best laborers are leaving The recruiting agents have orders to en- list no Spaniards, and no pure black peo-

Consciousness of Scarlet Fever.

From the New York Herald.
 The well-known contagious properties of scarlet fever argue for more than or .dinary precautionary measures In these times then, 1t behooves parents to be more than careful against any possible exposure of their children to known or suspected infecting influences. It must be admitted that this is the most difficult of all the questions that present themselves for ready answer.
 The mother in the tenement and the one in the palace car are. relatively speak ing, in the same category. The babe in the wicker chariot with the careless nurse is ofttimes no safer than the little one who plays in the gutter and dances to the street organ. The nurse when off duty goes where she pleases, and If her little niece is down with any sickness her own charge at home must take his chances.
 She is not made to understand that diphtheria, measles and scarlet fever are very contagious and are liable to be prog agated even by indirect exposure.
 In the case of scarlet fever the greatest danger of communicating the disease is at the time when the infected one is ap- parently recovering and when the pre- isv sviously infiamed skin is shedding It's powdery scales.
 These particles are the real carriers of the poison. and can be lodged on the clothing and hair, in fact, in everything that may come in contact with the air of the sick room.

pie are taken, the idea being, presum- ably, to have the men marry Hawaiian women, and thus lose their identity with Porto Rico. In all events, after being transported so far, it is not likely that they will ever return. It is considered that Porto Rico is over-populated, and the sooner this population is thinned down, the better off Porto Rico will be.
 The agents who have been endeavoring to secure laborers to work on McDonalds S Railroad in Ecuador, are having but lit- tie success. They want 5000 men. Judging from the reports of the treatment of Jamaican laborers there, Ecuador is not desirable country for emigrants, and the Jamacian government has prohibited fur ther emigration.
