Falrmont Sorosis and Club Extension.
The General Federation Of Women's
Clubs lay special stress on club en-
tension. This work embraces scholar.
sk!ps. work Of collegiate women, clubs
for wording girls, settlement work and
night schools.
In all industrial centers, these
night schools are becoming importan.
factors OF educational value to tls
communities responsible for their en-
lstence. In some cities every ward
echoo1 has night classes, with teach
ers employed and paid by the board
Of educ,tion. The schools are especl.
lilly beneficial to the foreign element
Of community where a knowledge Of
the English language is obtained.
In Fa'rmont and Its Immediate Vi.
entity there are hnndreds Of industrial.
workers. lacking the ability to speak
cur language and ignorant Of Amer!-
can customs. Seeing the advantage
to these foreigners in the night school
the Sorosls, n local club, has estab-
lished aud successfully operated such
schools ut Watson and Everson.
Miss Nola Mckinney q well known
phIlanthropic worker organized the
FIRST nIsht school at Watson. She has
been conducting clhsse In English
and music. Miss Mckinney and the
Sorosis have been fortunate in secu-
ing the volunteer services Of Miss
Annie Austin to direct the work
which has grown considerably since
the fail Miss Austin Is a member Of
The Normal faculty, a teacher In the
framing schoo1. Sae has had wide
experience among foreign Speaking
people and Is especially adapted to
this work.
Besides tae night school the extern
sion work Is being carried on into m.

In these schools There Is no public
school fund available to meet the ex-
penses Of this work but the inliy,d-
nal schools have volunteered to pro-
vide materials. The sorosis has
pledged Itself To the support Of this
work and will supplement this fund
