HICKMAN LADIES MEET
And Organize Woman's
Civic Improvement League.

A large and representative gather
ing of the women Of Hickman met on
Monday at the Court House TO form a
Woman's Civic Improvement League.
Although this movement is new
one TO many Of the ladies here, II
is a well-established and most useful
factor elsewhere in the improvement
and upbuilding to every community
in which ii has been organized. In
deed the amount and quality of civic
work which women can and do &C
complish. when tremendously united,
is wonderful and not until after the
league has undertaken it's many and
important duties can the town real
lie what a powerful instrument for
good is Woman's Civic League.
Throughout Kentucky the women
are beginning to realize the duty they
owe to their own homes in giving
their attention to the conditions ex-
listing in the schools. the markets, and
ditions rest the ultimate health and
happiness OF the children OF the com
munity. No matter now careful a
child may be reared, nor with what
intelligent and unremitting care the
mother may endeavor to surround him
In the home, IL he does not find prop
er conditions elsewhere, half of the
mothers effort is wasted.
Take as an instance of this a
child's first year in school. He
should receive as careful attention
there as in his home il the best re-
suits are TO be obtained in splendid
manhood and efficient citizenship.
The school room should be perfectly
ventilated. properly lighted. and even
ly heated; there should be suitable
sanitary conveniences; plenty of pure
drinking-water; and clean and roomy
Fairgrounds. All these things are
of equal Importance with good
teacher, for the best teacher can
not do all; the school itself must do
its share and do ii properly for the
best results. For this reason it is
important for the teacher and the
mother to be in sympathy with each
other. and 10 always be willing 10
help and cooperate with each other.
The women who attended the meet
ing on Monday afternoon were all
deeply interested in the formation of
an efficient league in Hickman, and
all followed closely what was said
