Students Club Hold Their Second

Meeting of the Year==Report of
Delegates to State Convention.
The second regular meeting of the
Students Club was held at the home
of Mrs, W. J. Dumble last Saturday
afternoon. About twenty were in at
tendance to participate in the study
of Germany and the Reformation
and listen to the interesting papers
which had been prepared on the sub
ject by members of the club. This
being a continuation from the first
meeting, of the study of the IRE
formation in Germany, the program
consisted of paper, reading and
the topics for discussion" A paper
on the "Counter Reformation" by
Mrs. A. A. Stone, was especially
meritorious, and the discussions of
the subjects, "Luther and Philip of
Hesse, ""Social Effects of the Knights
War;" and "Luther's Ability and
Learning" by Mesdames Mooney,
Hasselo, and W. J. Stewart, respec-
lively, were very interesting.
At the close of the program light
refreshments we're served by the
hostess.
Mrs. G. E. Game was present and
gave complete report Of the meet
ing of the state federation held at
Albert Lee last week, where the local
club was represented by Mrs. Game
and Miss Alcott. From the report
one could easily learn that a very
profitable and instructive meeting
was held, and the work of the fedora
ton is being felt throughout the
state. Unfortunately we are unable
to publish the entire report, but for
the benefit of those who are interested
in the local club work, we will recall
a few of the most important features
of toe meeting.
A committee of five, consisting of
the wives of the head physicians in
the state insane hospitals, was ap-
pointed to draft and introduce into
the state Legislature at the next
session, bill asking for an appro-
priation to be used in the erection of
a state reformatory for WON IN. Mrs.
G.. O. Welch of Fergus Falls was
chairman OF the COM
mittee.
The question Of state dues and
represent ation at the meetings of the
state federation was thoroughly dis
cussed, and the following plan was
introduced aud unanimously adopted |
by the federation. Clubs having a |
membership of thirty and under will |
pay So annually to the state fedora
ton and are entitled to two delegates,
ClubsI having a membership of not
less than thirty or more than one
hundred will be assessed ten cents
per capita and will be entitled to two
delegates. Clubs having a member
ship of more than one hunered will
be assessed ten cents per capita and
will be entitled to three delegates.
A new. branch of the state fedora I
lion was instituted known as the
bureau. It is the duty of
his department to collect all available
literature suitable. for reference in the
club work. to furnish manuscript for
the smaller clubs that are unable to
nave their manuscript prepared in
land whenever called upon,
% secure suitable lecture attractions
Tor the local clubs. The new depart
nent has a vast amount of work to
10, but it will be great help to the
'udll0I CLUBS DIS we'll do Cu0 IOO0l d
ION in general.
