and was followed by Miss Nelson,
who presented her idea of the true
mission of club women in North Da-
kota. Having adopted as the key
note of her administration that of
Extension as applied to the work of
the different departments in the i'm
prOvement of rural conditions, Miss
Nelson outlined a few methods of
procedure and made a number of sug-
gestions along those lines. She urg-
ed that each club 60, at least once
a year, to one of the rural schools
or centers and give a program, and
stated that such effort had invariably
been met with cordial approval and
cooperation on the part of the coun-
try women. The best way, she said,
to find the preferred locality to visit
was by comforting with the county SUI
p~erintendent of schools, who would
know at once where such effort would
be best directed. Another sugges
ton we'll worth remembering was
that of raising money for the pur-
chase of Victrolas to be presented to
the country schools, as by that means
a love OF the best in that matchless
art, was inculcatedA9 and encouraged.
Circulating art galleries might be
made possible, and much help thus
extended to the growing youth of the
isolated districts, which could be the
means of directing the unfolding mind
and bringing it into newer and wider
vision.
Miss Nelson touched upon the nee
essity of effort toward raising the
$4,000 which will constitute the en-.
dowment fund, and mentioned some
OF the objects which such a fund
would enable club workers to carry
out. The federation has a project in
view to erect a cottage for tubercular
children at Dunseith, as this is con-
sidered a great necessity at the pres
ent time. Much can be done to the
end, and in fact on every hand lie
opportunities awaiting the magic
touch of the federation woman's
hand.
Mrs. White followed Miss Nelson,
and spoke somewhat along the same
lines. She urged club women not to
'pulld a 1ence around themselves, but
10 pass on at every opportunity the
good things to which they might fall
heir. cor should we say heiresses?)

the Council of Women, lately held at

North Dakota could have a biennial

there, and who had kindly consented

stories, and quite won her audience

The program was closed with a
short talk by Mrs. barrow, who also
spoke enthusiastically of the great
meeting of the mississippi Valley Suf-
frage Campaign conference at St.
Louis, a short time since, and of the
Woman's Council at Washington. at
both of which she was so fortunate as
to be present. She said everywhere
