1T is understood that a considerable

for the reason that they pay for them

and great success in that field.

a little advice would be Of value So
she wrote kindly letter, praising him
for his good work, but suggesting that
he might be able to get far nearer to
the natives through his wife, if she
would wear the native costume, rath-
er than the European dress.
In the course of a few months she
received through the mail a package
containing a strip of grass cloth about
two inches wide and two and a half
feet long. accompanied by the follow
ing letter.

able companion to both her children
and husband. The wOmen's clubs
about the country are doing much to-
ward the education of the public to
higher standards that touch upon mat
tiers pertaining to women and children.
1T has been through the influence of
the women that our most important
congress, relating to things that would
better the home. have been passed.
When the pure food bill was UP be-
fore congress, and it's passage was only
a speculation, the wOmen's clubs
throughout the United States took the
matter up and petitions We're sent to
each congressman and senator asking
that the bill be passed. These petit
tions represented the names of 100000
women of the country, and undOubted
ly were effective in promoting its pass
age. 1t was through the influence of
the women's clubs that the compulsory
education law in Missouri was made
effective. Since it's passage the wom-
ems clubs have paid for the hiring of
of probation officers in smaller towns
that could not afford them.
Nov. these are only some of the
good things that women's clubs have
done toward the betterment of Ameri-
can children. There are number of
what we call moving libraries furnish
ed by the federation to the smaller
towns of the state. These libraries
each of which consists of so volumes,
are loaned to schools and societies
in places where no public library exists,
and in the same manner art studies are
that are not supplied or have no funds
with which to obtain them.
Another movement taken up broad
ly by wOmen's clubs of the state is the
promoting of manual training in the
schools. Domestic science is looked
upon as a necessary part of a girls
education. We believe that compati-
blity between a husband and wife
is often promoted by the wife's knowl-
edge of how to cook. and to look prop
erly after her domestic affairs If it is
not necessary for her to do her own
cooking, she should know how to man.

do so should understand the practical
