Goodale aud Rev. and Mrs. j. p.

rem"
The secretary read an invitation re-
ceived from the Labor Day committee
to take part in the parade on that day
which was accepted with thanks.
The first subject under discussion
was the state topic, Rural Bird Life
and Protection. Miss Neva Place read
an interesting paper on the protection
of birds and Longfellow's "Birds of
Killingworth" was read by Miss Edna
Miller.
A song "The Child's Evening
Prayer" was nicely sung by Clara Get
man.
What is the outlook for the United
States in the coming age?
Mr.. Place asked for more time. Mr.,
Freeman thought the outlook very
bright, and If there was as much ad-
vancement in the next fifty years as
there had been in the past, we could
look for wonderful changes. Rev.
Warner was called upon and spoke
few words on this subject The United
States is today the leading nation of
the world, and If it remains united,
great things will be accomplished. At
the present time things are going to
extremes in the country. The capital
lists are carrying things to extremes,
as are the trusts. The strikers are
creating much excitement at present
and as such troubles have been settled
by the masses of the people in the past
they will probably be obliged to settle
these.
Two good recipes for making cucum-
Der pickles were given by Mrs. Free
man and Mrs. Smith.
Mattiebel Getman recited humor-
Gus poem entitled, "How He Let Her
Know"
Who of this age have contributed
their millions to good causes and what

this subject, naming several contribu-
tors, including Andrew Carnegie who
gave to so many libraries, King Ed

women and girls, whom the world has
ever been ready to stone. This chain

The question, "The education OF
our girls" was assigned to Mrs. Get
man and Greenwald. Mrs. Getman
read very good paper on the subject
as follows:
1t is said "the hand that rocks the
cradle is the hand that rules the
world" 1t is absolutely necessary
then for our girls to be educated; to
obtain all the wisdom and knowledge
possible. They should be given a
thorough training In common branches
at school, business education, many
women have no knowledge Of business.
What a pity to neglect this.
If possible commence when they are
young to cultivate their talents. If
they are to use one or more for their
life work a thorough training is
essential. Early in life girls should be
taught they are a rart Of the world
they belong toit. 1t is their duty TO
assist in it's progress, that the world
will be better for their having lived in
1t, desire to be useful, uplifting,
noble and true, true to themselves, to
God and to their parents.
Books contain an unlimited amount
Of information. 1t seems there is
nearly as much to learn from people,
experience, and observation. When a
child is not naturally fond Of books, an
appetite for good ones should be
encouraged by all means. While fairy
stories do no harm, fail TO see where
they do good. There is such vast
amount Of truth, past and present.
Why are not such stories better? At
least foundedron facts. Girls OF today
are not taught enough about the most
essential part OF their education
housekeeping-some mothers say,
"there is time enough for them to
learn that when it becomes necessary. "
What a sad mistake. 1t may be true,
experience is the best Of teachers u
but a poor time to-use experimental
cooking on the lord Of the habitation.
