ing of the council, which takes place
every alternate year, will go to san
Antonio, Tex, next spring.
The question of locating the biennial
was one not easy to decide, for nVe
large cities put in claims and backed
said claims with arguments intended TO
be convincing. Atlantic City, Chicago
Cincinnati, Hot Springs and san Fran
cisco were rival claimants, and en-
cfnnati won out largely because or lls
central location, which makes II ac-
cessible to a larger per cent OF cruz
women The Pacific coast, the AT
lantic coast, Denver, Chicago. Louis
y4lle-each of these localities has been
favored with a meeting of the general
Federation. and has felt the impetus
resulting from the coming togetner ol
SO large a body of enthusiastic, pralny
women, and 1t was thought only JUST
that the next meeting, while going TO
section that has not been visited pre-
viously. The biennial will probably
be held in May. 80, -.
The meeting of the council VIII uH-
doubtedly take place in April, ana at
that time will also occur the next eA-
ecutive meeting of the board. Cnair.
man of the committee having charge
of the council is Miss Louisa b. Pop,
penheim of Charleston, S. G., who VIII

here she was elected to the ONCE OF
corresponding secretary.

second vice president of the federation.
who for two years has been recoroins
secretary, will fill the office or cnair-
man of the program committee Tor the
tenth biennial at Cincinnati. Mrs.
Sherman, an exceedingly clever wo-
wan. is the author Of well-known
book on parliamentary law.
The executive meeting was well at
tended. twelve of the fifteen members
of the board being present. The entire
time was devoted to business with the
exception of one afternoon, When tne
members of the board were the guests
of the club women of the city ana
enjoyed a motor ride to the Garden OF
the Gods, and afterward were ten

An old lady who lived in an Ohio

COMIC PICTURE
STYLE AN EVIL
Declares Miss Summers in Ad-
dress at Play Ground
Congress.

At the Playground Congress In New
York Miss Maud Summers of Gin
einnati, deplored the style of comic
pictures in which evil il aggrandlzed
and emphasis Is placed upon deceit,
cunning and disrespect for gray
hairs'-pictures that teach children
to laugh when boys throw water
from an upper story window upon an
aged apple woman, or outwit an In
firm old man.
"Humor has its place in the litera-
ture of childhood" she said, "and It
will be well If gifted writerss for
children could be founl capable OF
substituting genuine fun. for the
coarse vulgar type now so prominent.
1t Is of the utmost Importance that
the picture, or story. for children
shall have at its heart a spiritual
truth. or. in other words. that 1t shall
have a right motive. This truth may
be any one OF the many virtues such
as generosity, Kindness, hospitality,
courage. heroism. chivalry, etc. Tt
, should be worked out in terms OF
cause and effect, according to the inn
mutable law Of literature, the law
of compensation, which rewards the
good, and of retributive justice, which
Furnishes the bad.
TN the end" said Miss Summers In
conclusion. the play ground as q
finished product should give beauty
and perfection, not only to the body
of the child, but also to the soul. Il
should include training IN the three
HIS Of head. heart and hand, as well
as training in the three Rs of re-
spect, reverence and responsibility.
No lesser Ideal win satisfy those who
see the possibilities Of the playground
In adding to tho sum OF child hap-
piness and betterment"
