thing about either. lBut even club
women gossip, and these are the facts
as revealed by that gossip
A group of club women presumably
from ST. Paul thought it would be a
good joke to send telegram to DR..
Christian Fry of the school board, in
forming him that the club women
clothed and in their right minds were
now in session at Albert Lea, and in
viting him to be present at their con-
ferences, which, SO the telegram stat
ed, were purely educational. The club
women who indited the telegram were
naturally unwilling to sign their own
names, SO they signed Educational
Committee"
Now the state federation has an
educational committee, and when DR..
Fry penned polite regrets he addressed
it to the educational committee Of the
state federation. But the education
committee does not expect to receive
any mail except that addressed to it's
secretary, so when the letter reached
the presidents table in the convention
hall one Of the women who sent the
telegram undoubtedly saw it, and
reading Ryan hoteT in the upper left
hand corner took the precaution to
remove the letter from the table before
the president had a chance to hand it
over to the real educational commit
tee which never sent the telegram.
Presumably, DR.. Fry's letter was de-
stroyed. AT any rate, nobody has seen
it, and no club woman will admit that
she has had anything to do with the
joke.

address tonight, surprising the dele

club women incorporating with their
other studies sacred history. The ad-
dress touched upon the, need of more
thorough education In music In the
public schools, and suggested that club
women who were educated unsteady
should offer their services two hours
