Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-17

bers Of the Los Angeles chapter have
made possible a brilliant array of not
able women who generously give an
evening or afternoon to members need
ing criticism on lessons to be sent to
the university for marks.
Los Angeles chapter is to be especial
ly congratulated upon securing the able
cooperation of Ida NJ. Coates who will
conduct the evening class in art as
soon as members qualify. Both Mrs.
Hubert and Miss Coates will begin
with the fundamental work of drawing,
and lead to oils, water color and china
painting. Miss Coates is a distin-
guished artist. having, when a young
girl, attracted the attention of the
famous Tojetti of the italian academy
at Rome, who trained her as his as
sistant, where she taught freehand
drawing in his studio.
Miss Coates first important exhibit
ton was at the great worlds fair eX-
position in Chicago in 1898, where the
most celebrated artists in the world
were represented. She has recently
copyrighted a picture of the head of
Christ, destined to take rank among
those of noted artists in the past,
which will be known as "His Early
Manhood" Miss Coates will meet her
class at her studio, 2157 West Wash
ington street. The generosity of MIS-
Hubert and Miss Coates enables mem
bers to take advantage of the after
noon and evening classes.
CLASS IN MOTHERS CLUBS
Another important class is a course
in Kindergartening or Mothers clubs
every Saturday night at the chapter
house, 1882 West Forty-ninth street,
by Mrs. Prudence Stokes Brown.
Mrs. Brown is the first lecturer or
extension worker to be sent out at the
expense of the league, and the univer-
sity feels fortunate in sending her,
first of all, to Los Angeles chapter,
which is the largest in the league and
has the class work organized to a
greater extent than elsewhere.
When Mrs. Brown was in University
City some time ago several plans fer
extension work were talked over, and
she was given entire freedom to work
out her own program in harmony with
the officers of the local chapters. The
organizer Of the university desires that
Mrs. Brown be kept in Los Angeles
long enough to try number of plans
and so determine what general plan
will be of most service to other chap
ters. In other words, Mr.. Morse wishes
to get out of her stay in Los Angeles
material for a booklet on how to or
ganize mothers clubs which could be
published for the information of the
league as a whole.
NEW KINDERGARTEN METHODS
The general plan of her work is to
deliver one or two talks daily each day
for five days in the week, as maxi
mum, meeting classes, perhaps, after
noon and evening from Monday until
Friday, or at such other hours as may
be arranged. The subject matter will
be the kindergarten philosophy in it's
relation to the home, the kindergarten,
the primary and the Sunday school and
the work will include the organization
of child study classes She will make
these talks either before the members
of the league or before other bodies,
where it is desirable to have the work
of the league presented. She will also
meet members individually afteE the
class work.
When not thus engaged Mrs Brown
will be available by arrangement TO
call on prospective members of the
league and influential persons in the
community with a view to interesting
them in the educational work Tor
which the league stands.
