MOTHERS EDUCATION SPREADS.

There seems to be a genuine move
ment afoot in Chicago to establish a
correspondence school for mothers.
The subject was taken up at the re-
cent Congress for Mothers in New
Orleans, and 1t was approved heartily
by all the delegates. It was the be-
lief Of the convention there is real
and urgent need for instruction, and
1t is proposed to carry it on in the IL
l1n6is University. In the course as
outlined at present young mothers
will be instructed in the proper care
and feeding of their children, and
hints on dress for babies will be fur
nished by competent authorities. In
the New Orleans convention many
speakers said that gross ignorance on
the part of mothers of the poorer dis
tricts of cities and of women who
have given insufficient attention to
their maternal duties make such q
correspondence school a necessity

usual and impressive scene occurred at
yesterdays session of the Reorganized
Church OF Latter Day Saints conference.
when President Joseph Smith presented to
the body the gavel which had been given
him thirty-nine years ago and which he
has used at almost every conference since
that time. With much feeling he thanked
the members for the respect and reverence
which they had always shown for him and
his associates in the official use of this
gavel and reminded them that he might
never meet with them again, though he
expressed the hope to be able to do so for
many years to come. The conference, on
motion of Bishop e. L. Kelley. accepted the
gift. thanking President Smith and in
trusting it's care to the first president of
the church. Much feeling was shown and
there were few dry eyes in the assembly.
A motion prevailed to start the collection

Poland to Honor
the Memory of
Mime. Modjeska
Statues of Actress to Be Placed in
Theaters at Warsaw and

WARSAW, Russian Poland. April 49,
A movement is on foot in Russian and Aus
trian Poland to honor the memory of
Helena Modjeska. the Polish actress. who
died In California April 5. Arrangements
are being made for a memorial service to
be held in this city and a statue of Nine.
Modjcska will be erected in the foyer of
the Warsaw theater. A committee is work
ing in Austrian Poland to erect another
statue at the Lemborg theater. The War
saw theater has decided to establish a
Modjeska fund to further the education of
young actors. An effort is being made to
collect money to bring the body to Warsaw
for burial and II this is permitted there
will be a public funeral. There is some
doubt, however, as to whether the Russian
authorities will permit this, inasmuch as
Nine. Modjeska was expelled from Russia
several years ago when she was about to
make a public appearance in this city. If
burial In Warsaw is not possible, the body
will be inferred in Cracow. in Austrian
Poland. Cracow was the early home of
Nine. Modjeska.
