! The last days session Of the Sec
ond District Federation's meeting at
Caldwell was characterized by the
same interest and enthusiasm noted
the first day The first business of
the morning was the reports of the
committees which had not been given
the day before. Mrs. Reddington of
! Payette presented splendid report
| of the work done by the clubs along
the line of education. 1t included the
placing of pictures in the schools and
special interest taken in library work.
Reports on Village Improvement.
The report of the village improve
| ment committee was read by the sec
rotary, Mrs. Cowen, and showed that
| the clubs of the district were still
working to improve the appearance
of their towns. Caldwell had offered
two prizes for the most improvement
in back yards during the summer,
which was decided by a before and
after kodak picture. This thriving
! little town had also set out AZ trees
around the school house and had
raised $1,000 for permanent improve
ment in the cemetery. The three
Mountainhome clubs had purchased
three lots at a cost OF 1928 which
were decided to the city for the Car
| negie library site. The Entire Nous
club furnished new books every
month for the library and the Arte-
mesia has kept the school grounds
clean and has planted bulbs for
spring blooming. Shoshone is agi-
tating a graded road to its cemetery.
Parma is maintaining library in a
modest way, which is supplemented
by the travelling library. Weiser had
a cleaning day. when prizes were
offered for the biggest load of tin
cans to be hauled by any boy. More
| trees have been set out in the park
and SIS prize offered for the best
kept back yard.
The Girl Offender.
The subject of the Girl Often
der" which was discussed at the
Wednesday session, was again intro
duced by Mrs. Butterfeld, and upon
/ motion it was decided to indorse this
subject for consideration by the leg
islative committee of 1911.
Miss Chamberlain followed with an
instructive talk on the state indus
trial school.
The subject of reindorsing the Of
fetal paper of the federation, Club
Echoes, published at Blackfoot, and
edited by Mrs. Byrd Irego, was dis
cussed and it was unanimously
adopted again.
The subject which particularly in
terested the visitors was the talk
given by Mrs. e. d. Nichols on the
Good Citizenship club OF Boise, the
baby of the federation. After stat
ing the objects of the club and what
it's members had already derived
from their study the speaker made
an earnest plea for the suppression
of the social evil.
1t was regretted the very scholarly
and highly interesting address on
Municipal Art by Mrs. G. Todd
Moffett OF Chicago, could not have
