Capital. A fund of $500 was raised,
and the women began their work.
Not more than 5000 could be lent
70 any one student. Most of the
oans that have been made were for
$3.50. The $500 has grown to
b3,542.99. Nearly twice this much
las been lent to girls in Kansas
schools. AS fast as one girl repays
Ter loan, the money has been put
else, until in all fifty
,irls have borrowed $6390. Twenty
hree of the loans have been repaid
n full, nine are being repaid, and
eighteen girls in school this winter /
ire using the balance. The loan fund
s handled by a commission of three: |
Mrs. C. F. Henson of Paola, Mrs.

The women who want to have

Lomics schools have been scheduled

pen dates for that month. There

enc women's clubs talked OF having
four or five-day school here last
ear but was unable to obtain
uitable place. The domestic science

zen admirable but the majority OF
