WORK OF THE CLUB WOMEN
ADMINISTRATORS in Regard 70 the Lincoln
status Fund
HIGH School STUDENTS EFT THE CREDIT
Women Acted Solely on Invitation of
Mr.. waterhOuse and Did Not
Seek to Butt in on the
school.

Now that the 1900 for the Statue OF
Abraham Lincoln to be erected in the high
school grounds is in hand u is time that
the Omaha woman's club should be ex-
onerated. from the exceedingly awkward
position In which Il has been placed in
the whole matter The club has been &C
cused OF Quitting in" and the impression
seems to have gone abroad generally that
the women have sought 70 take the lead
in this project that 50 essentially belongs
TO the pupils Of the high school.
As a matter OF fact the club has been
the victim of an awkward bIunder and
has been unable to vindicate itself because
OF the peculiar position Of SIS members
as mothers Of the students and at the same
time sponsors OF school the dignity and
discipline Of which-as mothers-they were
bound to maintain
Origin OF the situation.
The club has at no time had any desire
10 usurp any OF the prerogatives Of the
students: II did not solicit the task Of
raising 8. 200. or the alternative % taking
that amount from it's treasury. The truth
Il. the whole thing was thrust upon the
club much against the will and the tudg-
ment OF the majority OF its members The
proposition came to the club through one
OF it's members. from Principal Waterhouse
OF the high school. and was to the effect
that II the women would raise the .2o
necessary for the statue the students. or
the senior class. and the members Of the
faculty. would raise the remaining $500
necessary for the base. II was stated at
the time that the proposition had come
from Mr. Waterhouse and that the assist
ance of the club was solicited. one Of the
most heated discussions Of the year fol-
lowed. much opposition being expressed.
and after being laid over until another
meeting when another extended debate
took place. the women contending that
erecting the statue was the privilege Of the
students the motion finally carried. with
provision that the money was not to be
taken from the club treasury.
A committee was appointed to devise a
working plan. but in the meantime the
women learned that the high school
students had not been consulted regarding
any plan for the statue. and one after
another the members resigned A dignined
silence was the only course left open 70
the club COMMITTEES was finally gotten
together under the Craftsmanship of the
member who had originally presented the
matter to the club. and IT was finally ar
ranEsd that the students De allowed to
raise the entire amount for the statue
