| + Mrs. Lee Monroe made an address
this morning before one of the his
tory classes of the high school on the
non-sentimental side of the EngliSl:
suffrage movement. The class is
studying English history under Miss
/
of the teacher that the students get
a correct idea of the feminist move
ment in England. Mrs. Monroe has
studied the subject very carefully and
spent a season in England, partly for
! the purpose of learning more of the
| their fight for the ballot. She told
the class that the women of Great
| Britain were not putting their fight
| on a sentimental basis at all, but were
| lit, e H.
business and a personal asset. They
are not talking, she said, about the
sacrament of the ballot, that we hear
so much of in this country. But they
are putting it up to their nation a
means of assistance to working wo-
men and as an economic and business
measure. The newspapers have in
sisted upon putting it upon a basis
of sentiment, but that is not the fault
| of English women, who know that
| they need the ballot and who know
what it will do for them as class

The Good Government club has be-
gun a campaign for household econ
omy. They shot the first gun in that
| campaign at their last meeting when
| they advocated certain measures for
| the conservation of food. To further
advertise their program for economy,
| they will have a bread sale soon, and
in connection with it, they will sell
/
their plan for saving bread by cutting
| it at the table as it is needed, con-
| trary to the American custom of cut
| ting up a loaf of bread, putting it
upon the table, and then being oblig-
ed, many times, either to throw away
| the dry scraps or devise a more or
less unsatisfa Glory way of working
it over into edible form. The bread
boards which they will present for
sale in connection with their bread
| sale, will have to be made to order,
and as the consignment is somewhat
| delayed, the sale is put off for a
short time.
The sale of the bread is to raise
money for an enterprise that the club
has undertaken, to assist in some anti
tuberculosis work. The bread will be
home made, and given to the cause
by members of the club, who are &C
complished cooks.
