| Quite logically. women win be ap-
pointed on juries OF awards, where
their knowledge and experience will
make their service Of distinct value.
The woman's Board 10 already listing
| women with technical knowledge, 90
that they may have the best possible
material to present for this important
work.
The woman's Board through its hf-
ty-eight auxiliaries IL establishing an
educational propaganda for the school
children. "Lecturettes." now In course
OF preparation, are to be presented
one q week-in the schools. 20 that the
| children who come to the Bxposit1en
will have An intelligent and profitable
| outlook. and also 20 that those who WIN
not have that opportunity may get
something worth while from that great
world university. the Exposition.
A great variety Of activities are cone
stantiy being handled by the Woman.o
Board. tho most important Of which =
| the assistance given to the Pioneer
Mother Monument Association, organ
| tied to erect monument 70 mothers
hood and dedicated to the pioneer NO
men Of California This Important
group IL now In the hands Of Charles

will occupy the central position IN The
Palace Of Fine Arts and 1t the conclu-
ssen Of tho Exposition rEvill become tAo

| For the past two years and during
the ten months of the Exposition fro0
Feb. II to Dec. the Woman's Beard
| assisted by its auxiliary members, will
be most vitality concerned with the -
cial life Of the Exposition. Along thia
line during the preparatory months
much delightful service Of this kin1
has been rendered. In the beginnime
the Woman's Board entertained The
| women who came with commission1
but the spirit Of co-opesatien .oeon
| dominated this situation. When 'Gec-
rotary Bryan came to CALIFORNIA; tn
banquet in his honor was attended ~
men as well as women. This innevn~
ton was 20 signally successful that Tho
Exposition directorate viii never -
back to the old way. When Secretary
and Mrs. Knox were In San Franchises
tho change had not been made usAGo
sent men to banquets and tho wom9m
entertained themselves a. best they
could. 1t was = handsome dinner tho
women gave In honor Of Mrx Knox,
but it would have been infinitely betteF
IL the dinner tables had Joined. Tho
dinner in honor Of Secretary and 1rA
Daniels was given under the new diD-
psnsation. So In al work and IN IN
play connected with the Expositta
there win b. NO separation Of inter.
ests.
The womAn's Board realizes that -
great responsibilities Of the ExpoGtt11a
rest upon the men, but they staAA evea
ready to help and never 20 hinder
