Mrs. Bradford, a Woman of National
Reputation in WOmen's Clubs,
Meets Club Members i'm Prescott.

The members of the Monday club
enjoyed quite treat yesterday and
last evening in a visit from Mrs. Mary
c. G. Bradford of Denver, Colorado
Mrs. Bradford was formerly director
of the state board of the Colorado
Federation of Women's clubs and is
now a member of the board of dIrec-
tors of the National Federation and
having devoted considerable time and
study to the subject is naturally we'll
informed on all topics pertaining to
Womens clubs.
A meeting of the Monday club was
held at the kindergarten room on
Thursday afternoon, at which a num-
Der of invited guests were also present
at which Mrs. Bradford delivered
very interesting and instructive adj
dress on the subject of ''Club Work. -
Among other things she dealt with
the subject of unity in club work as
in all other things, as being the only
way to accomplish any kind of work
we'll. State travelling libraries we're
also spoken of at considerable length
and reference made to the great good
which has been accomplished by them.
Referring to special books which
children should read, she recommend
ed in great measure books on ma
ture.
She also spoke of Juvenile court
work, saying that parents are largely
responsible for the short comings OF
their children aid that if they dis
charged their obligations more faith
fully there would be less use for juve
nile courts. So impressed with this
idea were the people of Colorado, that
it had been embodied in a law which
provides that after the third misde-
meanor conviction of a child the Ear
ent is arrested and fined, and impris-
oned for neglect, instead of the child |
being punished.
She also spoke of the grand results
being accomplished for children
through manual training-girIs as
we'll as boys. Explanatory of it she
said that everything done in the man
ual training room must be perfectly
true, otherwise the work is not right.
This principle, impressed npon the
character of the youths, teaches them
the Importance and necessity that
everything done by them, to be right.
must be true.
She paid higa compliment to the
Prescott Monday cluE, and by the way
a much merited one, for having initiat
ed tn manual training feature of pub
lie s. hools in Arizona, and of having
raise the funds to defray the expen-
SEES OF the first year of it in the Pres
colt public schools and expressed the
hope that the Legislature now in SEES
sion might pass the bill, drawn by
Prof Biilinghurst, copy of which
she held in her hand.
Tie bill has been introduced by
Leroy Anderson, who, she said wanted
the subject talked of and advocated.
She said that the Monday club. in
performing this work for manual
training, had won a victory over the
Colorado clubs.
While in Phoenix, Mrs. Bradford
did some work for the MANUAL training
bill. She is a beautiful speaker and
