About Motherhood Organizations.
One of the many interesting papers
read at the Woman's Day exercises
Tuesday afternoon was by Mrs Ida
n Hardy of Topeka on the subject,
What Motherhood Organizations Are
Accomplishing" Mrs Hardy is the ma
tional president of the League of Amer
lean Mothers, and has a real, practical
knowledge of her subject.
She says in part: "A bad bow is the
most misunderstood creature that lives
He is pushed out of the way and criti-
cised for doing outrageous things He
becomes callous and hardened. But
MS heart Is there, and in the right
place, and if the good things that are
hidden in it could be revealed to us
We would marvel at them. 1t is not so
much the actions of the boy that should
be studied as the motives which prompt
ed them The state needs the man
who can unlock the door of a bad bov's
heart and win his confidence. That man
is greater than he that taketh a city"
These ideas. as yet, are mere sugges-
tons, but the story of what is beinr
accomplished by mothers organiza lions
would be incomplete without them, be-
cause they indicate the point to which
the present line of work is leading
What motherhood organizations are
actually accomplishing may be sum-
married. as follows:
They have transformed the study of
child nature from a pastime into a
science.
They are providing thousands of
mothers with q clearer understanding
Of the physical intellectual and spirit
