One of Best of Week.
The educational session, which fol
lowed, was one of the most interesting
and valuable of the week. Mrs. I'm
derwood. of Cheyenne, chairman of the
committee, presented a splendid pa
per on How Can the State Federation
Improve Educational Conditions?" and
the discussion which followed was ably
led by Mrs. Symons of this city. Coun-
ty Superintendent Knight spoke of
work begun at the recent meeting of
the State Teachers association and
the ladies desired very much to hear
from DR.. Brown of the university, but
the time having arrived for the visit
to that institution, DR.. Brown declined
to speak.
Pleased With University.
Adjoining in a body to the univer-
sity, the time was spent until noon in
a necessarily casual inspection of its
splendid buildings and equipment, the
ladies declaring that an entire half
day could have been spent at the in
stitution with pleasure and profit. 1t
was interesting to notice the different
tastes displayed by the guests, some
of whom fingered in the normal pri-
mary, others being fascinated by the
museum or the gymnasium, while still
others preferred library or herbarium.
Prof. Knights laboratory was a very
popular place, and the housewives
were much interested in the methods
employed by the pure food commission
of the state.
