AT THE KINDERGARTEN.


The mothers meeting with Miss
Schuster and Miss Palm at the central
kindergarten Friday afternoon was a
very delightful hour. The pretty room
always adorned with growing plants and
flowers. was rc-arrangcd somewhat so
as to make very sociable this meeting of
mothers and teachers The tables were
placed in groups with blooming plant
in the center. and pretty tea service
showed that the hostess was on "hos-
pttable thoughts intent" 1t was a
heart to heart talk between mothers
and teachers whose sole aim was to con-
fer together for the welfare of the child.

training of little children She brought
the first kindergarten message to
Shreveport when she came here years
ago fresh from the great St Louis kin
dergarten, established by Miss Blow.
No one is more capable Of speaking on
the training of little children than our
own devoted worker. Miss Schuster.
And SO she talked quite informally to
the mothers about what they could do
to help the children. SO many little
things that gave the children worry. are

The serving of tea and Grips waters
was shared by Mrs. Lavigne and Mrs.
Mcclellan, two of Miss Schuster's
pleasant guests. Music was not lack
ing. A charming lullaby was sung by
Miss Nellie Ratzburg, with accompani-
ment by Miss Lima Grow der.
A delightful surprise was in store for
the guests when they were presented by
Miss Schuster and Miss Palm with the
beautiful hand painted souvenir cards
done in water colors on soft gray paper,
presenting variety of scenes. sunset,
mountains, winter and spring were all
artistica1ly depicted, following which on
every card, etched with white ink was
the following verse:

Caucasian Representative.

Annual meeting of the Women's Pro-
hlbltion League was held Friday after
noon, in Presbyterian annex, the presi-
dent, Mrs Rande1l Hunt, in the chair.
| he meeting was well attended, officers
and chairmen of committees being
among those present, except Mrs. r. B.
Eglln, treasurer, and Mrs. Ida Crane,
chairman of press committee, who were
kept away by illness The reports made
a good showing of steady and persistent
work. and though the results have not
always been encouraging, the seeds were
sown that may bring forth an hundred
fold. Women know how to labor and
to wait, and the great, burning question
now before the entire country calls for
faith, patience and prayer.
Reports having been accepted, cleo
ton of officers was in order. Clause in
the constitution operating against the
reelection of the same officers, two suc-
cessive years, was discussed, and it was
decided unanimously to suspend that
clause, before proceeding with the
election. The result was as follows:
President. Mrs. Randell Hunt; first vice
president, Mrs r. B. Eglin; second vice
president, Mrs. Brya', Ards: recording
secretary, Mrs. D. Timberlake treasur-
er, Mrs. Homer Jordan: corresponding
secretary. Mrs. w. VI. Strube. Vice
presidents of wards and committees will
be appointed by the prpesident later,
until then the same are asked to serve.
In re-electing the officers of the past
year, wisdom was shown, as none know
SO well the great difficulties encoun-
tered as those upon whom the respon-
sibility of leadership is laid. One year
of service is training that will insure
better work for the ensuing year The
constitution in several places is at fault
and will be revised
Much of the work of the past year
was experimental, and lessons have been
learned by failures. SO the Women's
Prohibition League will quietly and de-
terninedly go forward and do its part
i'll trying to overcome the greatest evil
of the age, the liquor traffic
