The civic committee of the General
Fedora ton, OF which Miss Kate Mac
Knight of Allegheny, Pa. is chairman,
has issue a Civic Primer, the purpose
and scope Of which is explained in the
following extract from a letter:
''It contains short articles, ana
practical suggestions on almost every
line of civic work now being under
taken by our women's clubs, and it IS
hoped that it viii prove valuable in
every section Of the country parucu-
larly to the younger and more mex
perienced clubs, who long to help In
the great civic movement now sweep
ing over our land. but who are pi1z-
Eled as to which problem, of all that
confronts them. should be Srappled
with first.
while we can not boast that our
little Primer viii answer all the ques-
lions as to the How of Civic Work,
we do believe that it viii be found
very helpful and suggestive, and we
commend 1t as very Interesting read
ing. for every. one concerned in civic
improvement
"A COPY Of the Civic Primer will
be sent free to every club belonging
to the General Federation. but as the
expense of printing has been rather
heavy, q large number Of copies have
been reserved to sell at the very low
price OF ten cents each. We hope that
you viii be able to Interest. your club
members, and others in this little
book. and that they viii send to US
for additional copies, thus helping us
TO disseminate in every part of our
country. the ideas on civic progress it
contafcs
This booklet is recommended to
clubs-not clone because through it
they VIII learn of the work being done
n this connection in the General Fed
Grafton, but because there is a demand
for such manual, as the many re-
quests received from clubs show.
Among the Chautauqua- Assemblies
o. Kansas mention is due to the new
enterprise just being launched at Sa-
lima. This summer school Is to be held
iu- the first half of July, and has q
promising session before it. The
clubs and the Civic Improvement
league Of Salina have been given time
on each days programme
Speaking Of Chautauqua time re-
minds US that the first assembly of the
year-OttaWa- not far away and
the interest OF Kansas club women is
bespoken in its behalf. Those who
have known and loved Mrs. Prentis In
her years Of work at Ottawa wiz miss
her this year, but 1t is lesson often
set for US that as those upon whom we
have depended pass on to larger inter
ests and duties. it falls upon the others
who are left behind to close the ranks
