Club Notes
The annual meeting Of the General

cago has passed into history.
But the thousands of thoughts ex.
pressed there by some Of the fore.
most women of the country will be re-
membered long by the delegates.
Some of the expressions voiced there
during the ten days session are Of
special interest to those who could
not avail themselves of attending the
convention.
Every a and woman should be
obliged to work when he or she is Is
years of age and should be compelled
to go to school until they are that age,
according to Professor Charles ZueS-
lin Of Boston. s9 'F'
I'VE should all work when we are
IS and we should get paid for what
We earl and no more" he said at the
biennial civic conference on Tuesday.
"We should have sex equality. We
cannot have this while men pay their
wives bills, doing out little sums Of
money as they think fit. Most hus-
bands are simply the home %treasurers.
This is partly women's fault, however,
for there are too many women who
love to be economically incompetent.
With proper sex equality men and wo-
men a meet each other just as men
meet men now.
I'VE have three great problems with
which to deal, our Industrial system,
racial antagonism and sex ignorance.
Our educational system now is better
fitted for the training Of monks OF :
thousand years ago than for the moth
ers Of the Twentieth Century. En-.
trance examinations are barbaric and
should 60 into limbo. We must edu-
cate our men and women together.
We should have home fuie in the
home, the city, the state and the ma
ton. Our government should be so
simple a college president or an i'm
migrant could understand It equally
we'll. e. ac 0a
I'VE are becoming more humanitar.
ian In treatment of criminals, be-
cause there are so many uncaught
criminals among ourselves that we are
getting to have more sympathy with
the criminal who dos get caught.
Nevertheless most of u jails are
places of destruction. they develop
moral invalids.
WE have. too many laws. Fifty
legislators Is enough for any state.
Let us apply common sense rules to
.dstice.
Women have too many recreation
al programs in their club work. They
do not dare study because of the cost.
They are afraid to fix the blame.
I'VE must have scientific produc-
ton, equitable distribution and dis
eliminating consumption. Commun:-
ty fellowship is the only test of re-
ligion."
Benedict Papot, addressing the
Drama league sectional conference at
the club convention, disagreed with
Miss Jane Adams, who said that
moving pictures are a power in drama
tic affairs.
"The movies may be the A B C of
drama, said NJ. Papot, "but they are
only good because they will lead to
interest in better things.
Il III cur French plays are too long,
why do you use them at all?" he said.
"You take a three-hour play and cut
it to two hours, and it is worse than
nothing"
Hamlin Garland emphasized the i'm
portance of the village in the work
for better drama.
Elizabeth Hunt talked on "Playg0-
ers' and said we need a first aid to
the theatergoer.
Alice NJ. Houston advocated the cir.
cult idea for companies Of players. A
dramatic company can be organized
by the women or by the municipality
and a chain of cities can be booked,
she said. This idea has been tried in
illinois, where Mrs. Fiske, George Ar
liss, the Irish players and other COM
panies, were sent to towns of less
than 10000 for one night stands. The
venture was profitable, the speaker
said.
Walter Hampden, the actor, offered
the cooperation of the stage people
with the movement for better drama.
