need: and. estimating the work in Mis- souri not so much by tangible results as by the making of opinion, she afiirms that the State is progressing rapidly. The city women on market days open their club rooms to farmers wives, and home-making Is one of the most promi- nent subjects of club study. Since her address to the faculty and students of the State University a chair has been founded there of Household Economies. and some of the public schools have this department of instruction. Like Mrs. Patillo of Georgia she furnishes the clubs of her State with programs of studies in Domestic Science.
 Montana.
 Mrs. s. M. Emery, vice-president for this remote Western State, third in size of all the States where ranches lie, ten, twenty, fifty miles apart. tells the con- vention of N. H. E.. A.. that the men of Montana are more interested than the women in Domestic Science. and she finds it difficult to enlist the clubs in this study.
 A we'll equipped department of De- nestle Science has been put in the Col lege of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts at Bozeman, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction at that place has promised its introduction m the public schools.
 Nebraska. Mrs. M M. Pugh of Omaha makes a summary charged with interest and bristling with suggestions-twenty clubs studying Domestic Science some of whom close the year with a banquet to which husbands are invited; the Domestic Science department of the State Univer- sity fuller than ever before of students; the assurance from the State Superin- tendent of Education that Domestic Science will be made part of the cur riculum of public instruction and a State Federation Standing Committee on Domestic Science (of which she is chair man) one of whose duties it is to arrange a program for club study.
 North Dakota.
 In this young commonwealth where are already several State organizations of women, Mrs. Marie B. Senn of the Agri- cultural College at Fargo, deemed it wise not to attempt to form another associa. tion. but. to those already in existence to present Domestic Science as a subject deserving their attention.
 The Suffrage Association, and the Wo- mans Temperance Union both invited her to address them, as did the State Chautauqua.
 In the Manual Training School recently
 
 Science is taught, and a graduate of the State Agricultural College Is engaged to lecture throughout the State. m
 New York.
 Mrs. w. G. Slater of New York City represents this great and wealthy State which was among the first to have State organization and which now out strips almost all her sister States in this iine-as in many others. Her report brought the stimulus that lies in the record of great accomplishments achiev- ed by women of like nature as ourselves One striking feature Is the work done in the tenment districts-another proof that each organization adapts itself to its individual locality.
 Domestic Science is popular in New York clubs.
 New Jersey.
 In the report of Mrs. F. B. Bates of Cranford, we find that even here where one would infer the existence of inti- macy with the subject, great stress is laid on the usefulness of the lecturer and professional teacher. She mentions one club which lays aside all it's dues to engage lecturers on this matter of House. hold Economies.
 Ohio.
 Small wonder is it that the loyal Presi- 
 J. D. wyker. desires that Household Economies assume its proper place in our clubs, since her native State, Ohio, leads in this important and delightful depart ment How natural. that her ambition is stirred for her adopted State.
 Mrs F. l.. Geddes, the Vice. President, being ill., her report was sent by proxies. Through these we discover that each county has a chairman of Domestic Sci ence, and that in economic. social, and ethical lines the work Is progressing all over the State, that attention is being diverted from Ancient History and occult religions, to this vital subject of so dear and sacred concern; and that Domestic Science has been lifted into high respect. Domestic Science has a chair in the State University at Columbus. fin several Man ual Training Schools, and Is being gen. erally introduced into public schools. One method employed in an Ohio club is to follow each paper with an open discus sion. the result being that every member studies every subject, and the Science of Nutrition and similar essays developed that knowledge which is most essential to housekeepers. Mrs. Geddes obtains from the agricultural department at Washington every report that bears on the subject and induces the clubs to in- vest in several good text books.
 Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Mrs Selnyn Douglass report Is the revelation of a wide-awake attractive per- sonality which. with intelligence and zeal, is leading the clubs into those fer tile fields in which older States are now nearing the time of brilliant harvest.
 South Dakota.
 Here, too, the work is in its incipiency, and Mrs. J. B. Baker of Lead. is writing to every club asking it's cooperation.
 Texas.
 Mrs. J. D. Thomas of Waco reports conditions ripe for great results from a campaign about to be started.
 Utah.
 Mrs L. c. Foster is seeking to induce every club to take up the subject.
 The first young lady in Arkansas who was honored with the Dread scholarship was Miss Christine Sanders of Helena, daughter of Matthew Sanders Ca graduate of the State University at Tuscaloosa) and niece of Dr. William Sanders, State Health Officer. and of the brilliant young Confederate Brigadier General of that name, who gave his life to the South. Miss Sanders Is now a teacher of De- mostic Science in a St. Louis school, and associated with her is Miss Mabel Ward of Mississippi, another Dread graduate.
