The actual scope of it's wOr could hardly come under that caption since it's accomplishments and plans go way beyond the confines of the two sections On a well ar ranged program for next year there is mention for civic work among the school children, which will mean the establishment of a library: also along educational lines is the contribution to the girls scholarship fund. There will be household economies meetings during the winter With demonstra- . tiOns of the fireless cooker and pa per bag cooking. Civil service re- form, conservation and social hy- giene will receive attention. Although the club has not endorsed Woman's suffrage, like all public questions it has been up for discussion before the progressive members of this organi- zation and the latter part of August the club will hold public debate on suffrage. Mrs Anderson will lead the affirmative and Mrs. c. M. Rob- erts the negative. The club is not a year old but the membership has in- creased from the seventeen charter members to thirty eight In March an amateur production was given and $50 cleared. This will be the original club house fund that will be added to each year For the present the meetings are being held in the high school building. This is especially agreeable to the club as one of it's purposes is to bring the parents and teachers together
