Miss Kimball, who has represented

Clubs of the United States for the
past two years, discussed briefly the
subject of preparedness along edu-
. caticnal lines. Mss kimball was
president of the San Francisco Club
for two years, years of pleasure and
success, as she stated yesterday.
Her paper was as follows: s.-
Last November the Mills Clab of
Alameda county was greeted in a
most charming way by one of
your members, Mrs A. j. Campbell.
She painted a word picture of your
beautiful islands, sea, shore, noun
tains and valleys, sunshine and shad-
ows, but not alone was it picture
OF nature for there in this jewelled
setting CLEANED and glistened the
heart of gold, and the invitation to
visit the land of Hawaii. ! have ac-
cepted the message and truly find it
the home Of welcome and many hearts
OF gold.
bring you the greetings from Cali
fornia-tlle same blue sea washes our
shore, the same shadows and sunshine
plays upon our hills; our coloring diff
ferent in shade but there you will find
the red. orange, green, blue, indigo
and violet and the yellow golden heart
throbbiny in its setting of nature.
We of the mainland greet you and
bid you welcome. Last year it was to
q glorious worlds exposition, the
peace City Only the memory of.
that beautiful dream remains, but it
has left its impress on the life Of the
Getty By the Golden Gate" and there
let me welcome you to the peace and
progress of western achievement
We have not risen from the fire of
shot and shell. but from the upheayal
OF nature and the disastrous fire of
nineteen hundred and six. Had you
stood with me on the heights and be.
held city doomed and again nine
years later and beheld city rebuilt
and within that city another of worlds
renown you would believe that dreams
can come true.
There is no disaster from which
good will not emerge if the way is
prepared The chaos of Europe where
the civilized land is being tempest
tossed, shot and shell, inventions OF
war are wrecking and ravishing the
land OF our brother man-from this hor-
rible upheaval will arise better con-
dition. Let us hope our exposition
city was a foreshadowing OF the great
er peace City'-the Peace Nations
of the world"
To attain to this projection of the
brotherhood of man there must be the
preparedness. The seed, the plant, the
blossom of a wonderful flower.
The keynote of the world today is
preparedness, and TO you who repre-
sent in the club world the Western
Women's College," there is no more
fitting nor interesting subject to dis
cuss. 1t is not a preparation for war,
but a protection from strife; not one
of destruction but that of construc-
ton.
Today is not the day of individual
enterprise, but the cooperation of
many individuals-the thoughts OF yes
terday resolving into the facts of to-
day. To Say that one Individual is
responsible for the great evils, or the
great good is wrong; he or she may
be the instrument in the evolution OF
time, but to understand the cause
and conditions leading up TO war or
peace the wise person must not study
the situation of the present, but travel
far back into the past. discover the
seed, trace each branch and leaf until
the growth has developed into the
plant which we know and recognize.
At the worlds exposition in San
Francisco there was tapestry in the
California building. The scene. a
mountainous country; peak after peak
arose from the valley below. In the
valley party of pioneers are wend-
ing their way westward. The old
prairie schooner laden with the goods
of the home-seekers; women with
small infants and surrounded by the
smaller boys and girls of the party. |
Youths and men on horseback guard |
ing and protecting their own, ever
watchful for danger. One man has /
left the party and has climbed far /
up the mountain side to a far distant /
peak, yet beyond him rises peak upon /
peak. These words appear on this /
work of art THE spirit grows in its 1
attained spaces; the mind is narrowed
20 narrow sphere"
The picture was one of common |
occurrence in the days of old when |
the great rush of forty-nine took |
place; yet the artist has lifted it out
of the ordinary, he has woven dou-
