The Topeka Club Woman.
Mrs. Noble Prentis was a guest Of
/ the Newton federation of womans clubs
at its first programme meeting last
! week. The federation is still in its in
fancy but promises to become a strong
and useful organization. It stepped in
to the local fray directly upon its or
g9nizatiOn by passing resolutions ask
/ ing the board of education to abandon
! corporal punishment in the schools.
/ Newton has recently been much exer-
cised over a small sized scandal result
ing from the whipping Of some of the
public school pupils by their teacher.
Mrs. Prentice had a place on the pro-
gramme and the Newton Kansan-Re-
publican says:
While Mrs. Prentis was assigned the
rr,fa T4rff do nd
could not fOrbear referring to num-
Der of the plans that are now being
! considered by the committees of the
federation and in which she is deeply
interested. Mrs. Prentis is a member of
the committee from the state historical
society which is working in conJunc-
| ton with a committee from the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution which
has the work of marking the Santa he
trail and in connection with this Work
j the advocates the organization of coun-
ty historical societies to aid in preserv-
ing the history of each county while
those who made Hsin the early years
/ are living.
Mrs. r. P. Murdoch, of Wichita, was
also a guest of the federation. She
talked about artistic home building, a
subject of which she has a practical
knowledge as she is at present engaged
in planning and experimenting the
erection of a new home in Wichita. Her
plans began not only in choosing the
paper, before deciding where the house
should be placed. and her study in
cludes the arrangement OF steam pipes
and plumbing as well as the number
and size of rooms.
Susan B. Anthony's picture forms the
! frontispiece to the November number of
the Club Member which will be out
| this week and a eulogy of her by Mrs.
McCarter is on the page facing it. Carl
P. Bolmar did the cover design, a
Thanksgiving subject. Mrs. McCarter
has q story, The Same Receiveth Me,
one Of her clever, pathetic studies of a
lowly life. Greeley Foster Smiths ser
ial. the October Child continues. The
editorial leader is a plea for the Kan
sas exposition in 1911. The Topeka fed
erations per capita tax constitutional
amendment gets a boost Mrs. McCar-
ter thinks if the federation is not
worth dollar a year to its members it
isn't worth p cents. She says; such
a body should have a comfortable treas
ury. The organization has never in
dulged in any luxuries. In fact it has
lived a somewhat SkimDed existence
The moment is here when a generous
spirit should prompt the ready adoption
OF the proposed amendment to increase
the yearly dues from % cents to 81 pei
annun. The larger the reasonable dues
the more the federation may accom-
plish and the greater will be the indi-
r vidual interest in the work. A general
discussion is very desirable but there
should be little question as to the out
. come of the matter.
A feature of the Club Member this
month which will be read with interest
by many is Mrs T. F. Garver's paper
Lilith-a Prototype which was read be.
fore the Western Sorosis at its Septem-
Der meeting and provoked a very in
tcresting discussion.

: east side kindergarten teacher, is or
mothers of her pupils. A meeting was
held yesterday in the reading room
which was attended by about Is pros
pective members of the club Mrs
Clement Smith was also present. The
: kindergarten has IS pupils.
