FROM IDAHO FALLS.

FROM IDAHO FALLS.
The vi. s. Of Idaho Falls. held an
interesting meeting for the study of
legislative matters last week. Law
yers Good, Katterndahl and Edging-
ton gave very clear expositions on ex-
listing laws relative to property rights
OF married persons, to the protection
Of childhood, and others of especial
interest to women. They further
discussed bills now pending in the
state legislature, especially the pri-
mary bill, and patiently answered the
many questions put by the women,
and we think, were a little surprised
to find that we we're there as students
rather than in belligerent attitude
looking after .our rights. The ear
nest women who made UP the class
were more than ordinarily well in
formed and intelligent, but all were
astonished to find how little was
known about our present property
laws. 81
In view of the fact of the general
ignorance OF the law, on the part OF
men and women everywhere, the
meeting placed itself on record as
favoring the study of the laws OF our
state, relating to the common affairs
Of life, in the public schools. ANreso
luton was also passed, fayoring Rep
resentative McFaddens bill permit
ting the appointment and compensa-
ton Of a school physician in each \
school district. The two hours were
much too short to cover the ground
mapped out and many interesting
matters were left untouched.
Mrs. Campbell was instructed - j
write our senator and representatives
thanking them sincerely on behalf of
the club, for their part in giving to
the state a county local option law;
also asking their support for the
civil service reform bill.
Meetings OF this character are ex
ceedingly profitable in making intel
ligent citizens OF our club women.
Mrs. McFadden contributed much by
an interesting letter and by sending
copies of bills now pending or to be
introduced.

Referring to the matter of Civic
ally day. to be observed March 10,
our First district clubs are disposed
, keep STEP with the General

is too early in the season for prac-
cal out-of door work, we substitute
good citizenship" program, which
as truly civic as the other The
God Citizenship club of Boise will
doubt furnish Echoes with sew
al programs from which the clubs
ay select. Hereafter the newly APP
United Civic committee named below
i'll be pleased to direct this work for
e district.
