The Day Home Club held its month,
ly meeting in the Day Home, 5Sl
Fourth avenue, South aWednesday a.
o'clock, with Mrs. L c. Napier in
the chair The meeting was intense
ly interesting, Ways and means for
increasing the usefulness of the home
were thoroughly discussed The chill II
dren are now being taught thHagh 4
the fourth grade. 1t was found to be
urgently necessary to open for the ben
eft of the younger children a kinder
garten as soon as possible. 1t devel-
oped that Mrs. Gertie Rambeaux,
formerly director OF kindergarten
work in st. Louis, is to spend the |
winter in this city. Mrs Rambeaux
has an enyiable reputation as a
kindergarten" and the club is anx-
ious to have her take charge of this
work in the home Could $40 a !
month be secured for this department
the club could arrange to employ Mrs.
Rambeaux.
Many of the members have been out
of town for the summer, but are grad
ually returning. The vice president,
Mrs l. B. Scott, has effectively man
aged affairs during the absence of
Mrs. Napier. The members are
planning for hard, earnest work this
year. Though some of the most en-
ergetic and enthusiastic workers are
still out of the city, the members re-
ported $8.9S.
