Kansas Citizenship league. The course
of study will be ready for use for the
clubs that wish to study the subject of
citizenship in their next years course.

the study of economics to their regular
work, and other clubs have been or
ganized exclusively to help women pre-
pare for their newly acquired RESPONSE
bilitieS as voters, and the course of
study to be arranged by the commit

The work of five years by a Kan
sas woman, Mrs Kate Arlington of
Council Grove, has resulted in an adj
dition of copies of one hundred pic
lures of Americas best artists, to the
Kansas Travelling Art gallery. The
collection is handled by the Travelling
library from their rooms in the state
house, and the pictures are sent out
by them in trunks to the various clubs, |
schools and associations over the state.
number of years ago a travelling
art gallery was established with Mrs. |
Arlington at its head, and since that
time collections of Italian, French, |
English, German and Dutch and
Flemish pictures have been procured. |
Getting together the American collec- |
ton was a somewhat more difficult |
task. and in it's accom- pliShment Mrs. |
Arlington has spent five years, has |
travelled in the east, and has used her |
own personal funds to defray expenses. |
Many of the dull finish pictures are |
Copley prints, some are carbons, and |
others are photographs. The pictures |
are placed between large, stiff, hinged |
covers, and below each picture is the |
name of the picture and the artist, |
with typewriter account of the |
ship, or giving some interesting de- |
tails connected with it's history. Some |
of the pictures are in colors, others in |
black and white, or brown.
The collection represents the very
best work that has been done by ma
tives artists, and includes some char |
acteristic paintings by Whistler Sar-
gent, Inness, Wyant, Fuller, La
other notable painters. Among the |
number are copies of canvasses, |
frescoes, friezes, ETC., from private col
lectfons, from the Congressional Ii
public art galleries. A portrait.

gallery. The picture 'Thesmophoria,"
painted by the Pittsburg artist, Millet,
who went down in the Titanic last
year, is in the collection, and the
