CLUBS IN GERMANY
Il Fen Women's Societies, but the
Increment Is as Yet Mild.

The words ''women's clubs in Germany fall on
most ears with unwonted sound German
women not generally supposed to be cluobaole;
it seems natural to think of them as good house
wives-which indeed they Schillers descrlp-
ton of the ideal wife in her domestic circle guild
ing the young, teaching her maids. filling her
storehouses with fruits and her closets with linen
by her digent hands-that description re-
mains true of great numbers OF German women
Nevertheless, the club habit is taking hold or the
daughters of the Fetherland-
How little they have felt the need OF clubs Is
shown by the fact that it is barely decade since
the first timid steps toward organization were
taken. Philanthropc associations there were among
German women, but of club life they had nothing
nor did they desire club life. For one thing Ger
man men are given 20 clubs, and, humiliating
though it may be TO confess it, men blaze the way
for women. German men have their students
associations, their kneipe, their kommers, where
they meet together to drink sing. commemorate
great events etc; they have their beer gardens
they take plenty of recreation; but they are home
men above ALL and far likely to be found
at home in the evening, or else in some concert
hall listening to good music at low price, than
they ares TO be found in any club. That being SO,
the women have stayed at home, too.
Also the young girl of Germany is brought up to
be wife. housekeeper. mother. From the time she
left playing with her dolls she has been storing
up snowy linen in scented cedar chests Tor her
dowry. Perhaps she has undertaken little desul-
But cubs!-what did she know or care about
those?
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good The
Franco-Prussian spelt tragedy TO thousands
but 1t was the beginning of new life for German
women. It forced many of them. by destroying
their fortunes into the arena to fight for living
and from that necessity and the experiences that
followed was the club spirit engendered in German
women.
It was in 1865 that the Berlin Lette verein was
established under the patronage OF the crown

American notion that is cheap indeed for fash
ionable club But it Is not possible to make Ger
man clubs expensive this stage; the idea Is
too new and the German woman sees too little in
clubs for her money.
Nine years ago the Frauen Klub. often called
the "six-mark club was formed 10 meet the needs
of self-supporting women There are seNerai nun
dred members and the clubhouse where they meet
is right in the centre of Berlin. The 'six-mark
club" as it is generally known, comes nearer to
being a political club than any Germany has yet
produced 1t is not advisable for a German wom-
an,s club TO come ont openly as a political club
the laws governing the rights of meeting are SO
stringent the watch kept by the government is
so strict.
Consequently far advanced though some women
are in Germany there are no open clubs Inc
president of the Frauen Klub is DR.. Tibertius. a
well known practising physician the vice-presi-
dent is DR. Alice Solomon, organizer OF Settlement
work in Germany. Helena LANCE. the leader OF
the educational party the woman who has opened
the doors Of universities and colleges TO women. is
an active member of this club. as is Frau Minna
I.auer the leader of the radical party.
The library is said to be the best semi-private
library in Germany. The restaurant furnishes good
meals at a low price and Is convenient TO the bust
ness quarter of the city.
After the organization Of this club the club move

CANNOT COLLECT
EXTRA ASSESSMENT
FOR SCHOOLS


Upon the advices of the city solicit
tor the additional assessment 'of ten
per cent on the hundred dollars for
school purposes cannot be levied for
the purpose of paying the indebted
ness incurred in erecting the new
school buildings until bond issue
is ordered by a vote of the people
when the extra assessment can be paid
to create a sinking fund to pay the
Indebtedness.
The $4,000 secured from the sale
of the Longfellow building at Fifth
and Kentucky avenue was put into
the building fund but an Indebtedness
of s15,0 300 was found to exist when
the buildings were completed and the
board of education sought to start a
fund TO meet this Indebtedness by
putting on an extra assessment but
the provisions of the charter are such
that 95 cents on the 800 worth of
taxable property is the limit unless
bonds are issued and the 80 cent as
sessment will be required to meet the
running expenses of the schools this
year.
