ordinary POWERS of organization. Every
item on the programme is up-to-date and
full of interest. There is no pedagogical
idea of prominence which has not received
due attention"
The fact that the State Federation of
Women's Clubs and the Won1en's Civic
league, particularly, are cooperating with
the teachers for the success of the ses5-
