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 9 paper, a 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 sLuther'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 were served by the
hostess.
Mrs. G. E. Caine was present and
gave a complete report of the meet
ling of the state federation held at
Albert Lee last week, where the local
club was represented by Mrs. Caine
and Miss Alcott. From the report
one could easily learn that very
profitable and instructive meeting
was held, and the work of the fedora
tion 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 the 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
state reformatory for WON IN. Mrs.
g. O. Welch of Fergus Falls was
appointed chairman OF the COM
mittee.
The question of state dues and
representation 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 $3 annually to the state fedora
tion.. 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 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
ton was instituted known as the
reciprocity bureau. 1t is the duty of
this department to collect all available
literature suitable. for reference in the
club work. to furnish manuscript for
the smaller clubs that are unable to
have their manuscript prepared in
diyidually ,and whenever called upon,
to secure suitable lecture attractions
for the local clubs. The new depart
ment has vast amount of work to
do, but it will be a great help to the
smaller clubs as we'll as the fedora
tlon in general.
An invitation was extended to the
federation by the Minneapolis club
to hold the next regular meeting in
Minneapolis and was unanimously
accepted. At that time Mrs. Williams,
on behalf of the state federation, will
present the national federation with
ballot box.
With few exceptions, all the old
officers will hold over. Mrs. w. w.
Skies of Minneapolis was elected
corresponding secretary. Mrs. Graves
of st. Paul, becom 3 vice president at
large; Mrs. Marshall of Duluth, trea.
lsurer; and Mrs. Matthews of Marshall,
| general federation secretary.
The next regular meeting OF the
local club will be held in Miss Alcott's
studio next Saturday afternoon, and
| the club will begin the study OF the
