The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-05-21

The Exploitation Department OF the
Exposition viii list and indorse hotels
and restaurants that may be relied
upon not to increase rates and prices
and the Travellers Aid viii do every
thing else that will make for the COM
fort and general welfare of the travel
er. This combination of big forces will
mean peace of mind for every one who
makes the pilgrimage to the 1915 Elx-
position.
Travellers Aid work. in conjunction
with the ,Woman's Board. will mean
that a traveller may come from any
part of the world and go to any coun-
ty Of this vast state protected at all
times by the agencies of the Travel
ers' Aid. 1t will mean that any moth
er who cannot accompany her daugh-
ter may trust her to travel alone to
San Francisco or any part OF CaliYor-
mia. 1t viii mean that this girl VIII De
met and protected upon her arrival;
will be directed to a home where she
may be safe and comfortable
While thoughts of protection first 20
to the girl travelling alone, the same
protection and guidance will be given
as freely and fully to young men. IN
fact, Travellers Aid would be failure
If its help and protection were not ac-
corded every traveller.
A particularly interesting channel for
women proficient along special lines
has been made by the ppointments OF
assistants in the great departments of
the Exposition.
The appointments already made
along these lines include Mrs. Francis
Carolan, an assistant to John e. d.
Trask in the Department OF Fine Arts;
Mrs. Ernest S. Simpson, assistant to
George Hough Perry in the Division Of
Exploitation; Mrs. William Grant of
Vacaville, assistant to D. o. Lively in
| the Department of Live Stock; Mrs
! Herbert Hoover, assistant to Charles
E. Van Arneveld in the Department of
Mines and Metallurgy; Miss Katherine
FELTON,, Miss Alice Griffith and Mrs.
William Kent, assistant to Alvin Pope,
director of the Department of Social
Science. A committee or architecture
has been in consultation with George
! w Kellum Of the Architectural Com
mission in the planning of the Califor-
MIA Host Building.
Quite logically, women win be ap-
pointed on juries of awards, where
their knowledge and experience will
make their service of distinct value.
The Womans Board is already listing
women with technical knowledge, Sc
that they may have the best possible
material to present for this important
work.
| The Woman's Board through it's if
| ty-eight auxiliaries is establishing an
educational propaganda for the school
children. "Lecturettes," now in course
of preparation, are to be presented
one a week-in the schools, so that the
| children who come to the Exposition
will have an intelligent and profitable
outlook, and also so that those who will
not have that opportunity may get
something worth while from that great
world university, the Exposition.
A great variety of activities are con-
stantly being handled by the Woman's
Board, the most important of which is
| the assistance given to the Pioneer
Mother Monument Association, organ
lied to erect a monument to mother
! hood and dedicated to the pioneer wo-
men of California. This important
group is now in the hands Of Charles
| Crafty, the Philadelphia sculptor. 1t
| will occupy the central position in the
Palace of Fine Arts and at the concIu-
sion of the Exposition will become the
property Of the city of San Francisco
and will be placed in the Civic Center.
For the past two years and during
| the ten months of the Exposition from
Feb. 81 to Dec. 4 the Woman's Board.
assisted by its auxiliary members, will
be most vitality concerned with the SO
cial life of the Exposition. Along this
line during the preparatory months
much delightful service Of this kind
has been rendered. In the beginning
the Woman's Board entertained the
women who came with commissions,
but the spirit of cooperation soon
dominated this situation. When Sec
rotary Bryan came to California tbs
banquet in his honor was attended By
| men as well as women. This innoqa-
ton was so signally successful that the
Exposition directorate viii never go
back to the old way. When Secretary
and Mrs. Knox were in San Francisco
the change had not been made. Usage
sent men to banquets and the women
entertained themselves as best they
could. It was a handsome dinner the
women gave in honor Of Mrs. Knox,
but it would have been infinitely better
if the dinner tables had Joined. The
dinner in honor Of Secretary ard Mrs.
Daniels was given under the new dis
pensation. So in al work and in al
play connected with the Exposition
there will be no separation Of inter-
ests.
The Woman's Board realizes that the
great responsibilities Of the Exposition
rest upon the men, but they stand ever
ready to help and never to hinder.
