ARTS And CRAFTS
RECEPTION PLEASANT

The relation of the Arts and Crafts
movement to home life was ably dis
cussed by Mrs. G. Elmer Brown OF
Spokane yesterday at delightful re-
ception given to the women OF Mos
COW by the Arts and Crafts depart
ment of the Historical club at st.
Marks guild hall. The reception was
attended by almost 100 women and
was greatly enjoyed by all those who
attended.
Mrs. Browns discussion was a plea
for a place in home life and in the
public schools for arts and crafts work
and the theory which underlies that
movement, as William Morris, the
great apostle of the beautiful, ex-
pressed it: Have nothing in your
homes that you do not know to be use
full and do not believe to be beautiful.
She discussed the pride which is TAX
en- not only by the craft-worker, but
the other members of the family in a
home beautified and individualized by
artistic handicrafts, and urged the
value of the work to the worker as a
recreation, providing both mental and
artistic development as we'll as craft
skill.

GREATLY PLEASED
WITH ROAD SCHOOL

''The county commissioners have
generously paid us for our attend
ance at the Good Roads school," said
]. A. Sly of Troy, road overseer who
has been attending the short school
in road building this week, but it
has been worth to me, for one, enough
to warrant my being here without pay.
In fact, l would rather pay my own
expenses for a week and have it con-
tinue to having it quit now"
This was an expression of feeling
from many of those in attendance as
we'll as Mr.. Sly.
Yesterday afternoons session was
rather brief and the principle address
was that of Dr. Hewes on Recent De-
velopments in Road Building" which
reviewed the most recent experience
of the office of roads in its nation
wide work during the year.

when the Moscow end of the dual de-

quence the Spokane contingent was

be so directed as to prevent or avoid
any influence which may directly cur
tail or reduce the incomes of any con-
siderable influence which may cur
tail or reduce the income of any con-

Why are the laboring men and wo-
men in Italy, in India, in Japan, and
even in the provinces of north Europe
required to work long hours for mea-
ger wages? Why are they poorly
housed and clothed? Why are they
required to subsist on the coarsest and
cheapest food to be obtained? Is it
not because of the oversupply of la
Dor, the dense population of the coun-
tries named? Then is it not true that
similar conditions may be brought to
the United States and that, too, in the
near future, if from any cause the sur
plus population in any of the coun-
tries named should find it possible to
emigrate to the United States? Is it
not true that similar conditions al
ready exist in many localities within
the United States?
