COMMUNICATED.
The First Mothcrs' Congress

The First Mothers Congress.
The National Congress OF Mothers
now in session in Washington calls 10
MUD the first meeting of this now large
organization. 1t was during the closing
days of Mr.. Cleyeland's second admins
tration that the mothers FIRST met in the
banquet room of the Arlington Hotel,
the meeting having been previously an
nounced in the press. 1t was not ex-
pected that larger number than could
therein be accommodated would be in at
tendance, but when the originator of the
movement, Mrs. Theodore w. Birney,
arose TO make the opening address, the
room was literally packed, many not be-
ing able to get inside at all.
After short session, it was decided
to adjourn and resssemble in the after
noon at the First Baptist Church, corner
of 10th and o streets, where all the fol-
lowing meetings we're held. Before adj
journiDg, however, a note from Mrs.
Cleveland was read in reply to a request
that she receive the visiting delegates,
in which she, with that graciousness
which so characterized her, invited not
only the delegates, but all the mothers,
after which all roads led to the White
House. where every mother was pre-
sented by Mrs. Birney. The meetings
which followed for several days were full
of interest and largely attended, which
fact would seem to relule the argument
of those who believe that women of the
present day are less welded to home
interests than our graudmothers were.
Many interesting papers were read
bearing upon the subject in hand in all
its different phases.
Perhaps one of the brightest women
who addressed this congress was Mrs.
Helen NJ. Gardiner of-need | say it?
Boston. Her paper was a scholarly
one, dealing with the theory that the
mother should be properly equipped for
her duties by having the best possible
educational advantages. ''The old time
idea" said she, "wss something like
this" A father having several daughr
ters would say;
MARY, here, is apt and bright
we'll give her a good education. She
will make fine teacher, while Jane
she is naturally slow and somewhat dull
she'll make good Mother "Now,
said Mrs. Gardiner, "if Jane is goint
to be the mother of future men anc
women, Jane is the one who shoult
have the advantages. "
Robert Ingersoll in his lecture upoi
Shakespeare once declared, that all grea
men have had great mothers, adding
that while comparatively little is know
OF Shakespeare's antecedents, it was SAT
TO assume that his mother was above tn
ordinary to have produced such genius
| Napoleon, upon one occasion, was ask e'
:, By the famous Madame de Stael whom
lie considered the greatest woman.
HIS reply was, "She, madame, VIII
has had the greatest numbered childre3.
Thus it will be seen that Napoleon's idea
of race suicide antedate Mr.. Roosevelt
by little more than century.
