To date this part of the program
has been carried out. In two cases
sickness and absence prevented the
exact dates, but a most gratifying fea.
ture has been that each one has fell
that he had a real message for oul
people. In making up this part of the
program but one man asked to take
part refused. AT each of these meet.
ings two musical numbers has been
given by our best singers and pianists.
tits an especial pleasure to hear
music in this assembly room, and the
acoustics being excellent, and the pi-
ano, new Kranich and Bach grand,
bought by the civil club. This piano
will enable every citizen of Pocatello
to at some time hear a really fine pi-
ano and in that way we consider 1t a
public cultural.
The audiences responding to the
general invitation have frequently fill
ed the assembly room. The second
part Of our program has been no less
important and no less successful.
Indeed considered 1t the more
important of the two because 1t has
led our own members to work and
think. give 1t for the present Of
every club in the state that is doing
civil work. No one of our own mem
bers could have devised it, because no
one Of us is an expert student Of So
cial science. 1t is in it's entirety the
work Of DR.. Jessica B. Prexotto as
sistant professor of sociology in the
University of California, Berkeley, DR..
Prexotto spent several days carefully
considering and constructing it for
use, by the civil club Of Pocatella
having in mind the fact that we are
a group of earnest minded women,
busy housewives but living in state
that gives women the franchise, and
wishing to empress the community
and state with an enlightened use of
this privilege.
The third Friday in each month
has been given to this woman's part,
three ladies having the program in
charge for one afternoon. They were
to consider the outline as merely
suggestive and present any part Of
the subject they choose in any man
ner they choose, talk, book-review,
paper. or reading of selected inn
portant chapters. Each program has
been carried out and our women have
greatly enjoyed it and all have felt
benefited. To carry out the work, the
Civic club spent nearly $50 in books,
the photography being made out by
DR.. Piexotto. These have been kept
for general use in the public library.
