to woman: Woman; she needs NO
eulogy, she can speak for herself.
This is true Of our new members;
they need no eulogy, their work
speaks for itself.
Il believe there has been no year
since the organization of our club
In which the growth has been greater
than during the present year. Since
October last 60pew members have
joined us In our work. This is an
increase of which we may justly feel
proud and speaks much for the flu
ture prosperity of the club"
Miss Himrod said: I'VE live in the
past by knowledge of its history.
And in the future by hope and anti
cipation. The history of our club has
been one of advancement. The
strength of our club lies in its merit.
May it's future be as bright as its
past has been helpful"
Mrs. Halverson had this to say on
Civic Duties"
Before sclosing, want to speak
of sanitation. There is no country
in the world thatgives more atten-
ton to this subject than our own
broad land. Even in our new pos
sessions, it was one of the first i'm
provements to be made. Boise has
pure mountain water, splendid
sewerage system and clean city.
Three great essentials toward pro-
noting good health Idaho has
state board of health, Ada county
it's board of health, and Boise a
health officer; all doing good and
efficient work. But eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty and ter
nal vigilance will be the price of
good health in Boise. Let us live up
to the motto of our forefathers.
Miss Chamberlain responded to the
toast, THE School Family" by say
ing in part:
II feel like the old woman who
lived in shoe and had SO many
children she didn't know what to
do. With my family of $4,000 boys
and girls, find but little if any time
to attend to. social duties or avail
myself of a pleasant hour at the club.
By the time | see that the boys
have farmed out are receiving their
proper instruction in agriculture as
well as other branches--that those
of mechanical turn of mind are I'M
der a good supervisor in manual
training-that all the girls, number
ing about $4,000, are not only learn
ing the three RS, but that their &C
complishments shall extend to being
able to prepare and serve a sumptu-
GUS luncheon, such as we have en-
joyed this afternoon--that consid-
cradle number of hours during the1
year are devoted to physical culture
and field-day sports-the golden |
hours of the day have flown"
Mrs. Sheppard said in part:
THE subject of my toast is. | be-
ieve, the household economics de-
oartment-the department of the
year book-the department of the
lual luncheon which has appeared
for the successive years in
he pages of the year book.
So, here's to the cook book and
he annual luncheon. May they never
grow old; and in our dreams of the
coming years, may the festive board
If our annual luncheon ever hold its
place."
Mrs. Coffin spoke as follows. her
cast being, "Our Club Home"
'In 1902 a building department

lember of this club. / would like
cry much to see all members unite
some way and make the money to
ear our lot. Then we would be in
position to consider a proposition

Mrs. Morrison, Of the music de-
artment, responded for that body. 9
Music is for all. While many Z
ay have neither the time nor the \
lclination to study it, they have '
evertheless the power to enjoy it. o
here Is scarcely human being who

There Is luxury in music. It o
