The suggestions as to civic inn
provement and wholesome housekeep |
ing which have been given by the dis
tinguished visitor in our city, Mrs. |
Caroline Bartlett Crane, from Kalama-
ZOO, Mich, have not fallen in barren
soil and we truly hope to see fruits OF
her work in the near future. Mrs.
Crane spoke to the citizens and club
ladies both at Fisk University and
Pearl High School Mrs. Crane said
at Fisk, Life is a rea art, which we
all may practice and in which no one
save ourselves may defeat us. if ed
ucation does not teach us the art OF
life it is not worth while"
She suggested as worthy and need
ed udties for clubs such as a visiting
nurse, a visiting housekeeper, a COM
mittee to visit the old folks at the
poor house to read sin and visit with
them. If none of these things seem
practicable she suggested that each
woman could keep such model home
tin the entire community in which she
lived, would take notice and show the
effects by being aroused to initiate the
good example,
