DIR. Eliza M. Mosher, dean of the
woman's department Of the University
of Michigan, writes in the Detroit Free
Press on the subject Of women's clubs.
Says DR.. Mosher:
Among the causes Of the lengthen-
ing OF the registers of our colleges, and
the increase OF popular belief in the
so-called higher education" for men
and women, there is one factor common
ly overlooked, and that is the influence
Of women's literary clubs. A teacher Of
long experience In the public schools
lately said to me: When l have a pupil
unusually bright, and quick to compre-
bend my teaching, usually find that
his mother is an active member Of a
woman's club This means that the
child lives in an atmosphere OF books
and magazines and conversation about
world happenings. Women who read,
study and think together, soon outgrow
petty neighborhood rivalries and gossip,
and it is the thinking women who meet
the difficult problems of the home most
wisely. These also are the women who
comprehend the true significance OF ed
ucation, and whose children therefore
are most likely to reach the college and
the university.
The history Of the growth Of women's
clubs is remarkable one. Less than
forty years ago few women, inspired
by the stirring events Of the Civil War.
started club in New York City. To-
day women's clubs are found in thirty
states, in numbers reaching far into the
thousands. The membership Of these
clubs numbers more than one hundred
and fifty thousand. Scores OF similar
societies also exist. The aim of these
clubs lie one, and that ethical and intel
lectral growth. Could it be otherwise
than that the outcome should be a
flooding Of the institutions of learning

throughout our land, and with girls no
less than with boys.
A distinguished university president
not long since was criticised for "spend-
ing so much time and thought" upon
the .Women's Annex Of the college.
What institu ton am working for, he
replied, but - college? These wo-
men will marry and bear sons; where
will they send them but to the college
with which they themselves were con-
nected?' To what institution OF higher
education will the members OF the wo-
mems clubs Of Michigan send their sons
and daughters but to those which offer
the best advantages. both intellectual
and moral, to them?
The State Federation OF Women's
Clubs is about to hold its annual meet
ing at Ann Arbor for the first time in
it's history. Many out OF the three hun
dred officers and delegates have never
visited the Far. famed state university.
Who can tell how many Of the boys and
girls now growing up in the homes OF
these Michigan mothers will, through
the influence Of this meeting in Ann
Arbor. eventually find their way to the
university? In what buildings could
the meetings Of the state federation be
held more appropriately than in tho
Barber gymnasium. to the construction
OF which the clubs donated eleven hun
dred dollars. a few years ago, when
money was so much neededY
The meetings will begin on the 18th
OF October and end on November 1st"

her friends decided to erect a fitting

room. In The Ladies' Home Journal
for October Mary E. Allen tells of this
appropriate and novel tribute and the
way it is conducted. 1t consists Of a
large room with an open fireplace. cozy

BIG oUsHER AT FLORENCE
Oil IS Encountered at Depth OF
2,7OO Feet, and a Tremend-
Gus Flow.

Florence, Colo, May 9.-The biggest
oil we'll that has been found here for
years was drilled into by Weaver & Go.
today. Oil WAS encountered at a depth
OF 2.70O feet, and it appears to be gpeh-
er, as when oil was struck it came up to
the surface and over the walking beam.
Usually it comes up from 500 to 1000
feet.
This is the largest and deepest we'll in
the field, and is estimated to produce
from 300 to 400 barrels day.
This immense flow was encountered
near the edge OF the company's territory,
three miles south Of Florence, and which
adjoins numerous claims taken up by
people from all parts Of the state. The
new find is important and is equal to
any Of the wells in the East. Today's
strike has called attention to the we'll
opened by the United Oil company II
years ago, and which has produced one
million barrels OF oil. That well pro-
duced about the same daily at first as
the new strike.
The oil boom in the Arkansas valley
will be revived in the next few days.
The new we'll is important, as nearly
